I love, love, love the Castro theater. It's a beautiful old theater, built in the "movie palace" days, and the seats are old-fashioned, but comfortable. The films are an interesting range of classics, hard-to-rent obscure titles, popular films, and lots of film festivals happen here. Most nights, before the movie, there's an organ player who plays songs related to the... More

This p,ace is truly a landmark , I love to come watch thereSpecial events, sing alongside sometimes special guests with a feature film and interviews or just a good old night out to the movies More

The Castro plays everything - if you time it right, you can even go to one of their many Sing-a-long musicals.

We saw 'The Artist' here, which is just a superb setting for this movie. Starts with the guy on the organ coming up out of the stage. Great old fashioned feel. Beautiful, original 1920s decor. Recommended for a pleasant evening out. More

A trip to The Castro Theater will always be enjoyable because of the affordable prices, especially for a double bill of classics, the always enjoyable organ concert 20 minutes before the films, the fresh popcorn, and the neighborhood customers are obviously film lovers. I never a problem with rude viewers. Go and support one of the last remaining large screen... More
