Best popcorn ever! And Josh knows how to butter half-n-half perfectly! Seats comfortable. Sound great no matter where sitting. Good size screen. Love this theatre!

Seats are super comfortable. Staffs are wonderful. The reason I didnt give this a five star is because its not too easy to find.

We always enjoy a trip to Landmark on Bethesda Row. The selection.of movies is usually excellent. The seats are comfy and theres a bar, and refreshments available. A bit pricey but thats the norm for a trip to the movies. The elevator down to the theaters is helpful and theres seating if you get there early.

If you want to see movies that transcend the time and are masterpieces, come here. There always a wonderful movie playing. Good place for a romantic getaway.

Convenient multi-screen location within a few minutes walk from parking and metro. Clean premises and seats. Decent sound and projection systems. Plays mostly narrow distribution and indie movies, with the occasional wide distribution release here and there. Strong recommendation to owners/management to get that 5-star rating from me: Get back on Fandango please.

Highly recommended theatre. Went to watch Harriet Tubman film with a large refillable popcorn. Movie was great! Friendly staff, handicap accessible, good amenities, and a good quality theatre overall!

Great theater, the leather seats are super comfortable, and the rooms are large but not huge. Well maintained and clean facility. The cool part is that they have a full bar and the concession stand has things that the larger theaters dont have. Great experience and a very nice place to watch a movie. The only thing they could do better (its marginal) is install reclining seats.

In the theater that I was in the rows of seats were VERY close together. You had to get up to let someone get into the row. That being said, Landmark shows a great variety of movies and Im glad they exist.

The picture and sound system was great. The staff were ok. However, I sat in the D row and had no leg room, despite being very short. This was the most cramped I have ever felt in a movie theater.

This is a wonderful theater. They feature a variety of movies, to include smaller releases, foreign films and independent films. They have a bar as well, which can up the fun quotient.

My husband and I live in Loudoun CO. but to see a quality serious film, we have to come to the best place Landmarks Bethesda Row Cinema. We enjoy our visits to this cinema and all its busy commercial surroundings.

I love it here. Popcorn is really good, I like having a glass of wine or beer with my movie too. They get movies no one else gets and I always enjoy myself there!

Must be a place for adults only. No kid size snacks so one has to pay a lot for sizes that one does not want. Depending on time of day some reasonably priced movie tickets are available. Theater and rest rooms are clean.

One of the few theatres in the DC area which show foreign language films. Thank you for doing that. The theatre is a bit old but still in great shape. Serving beer and wine is a plus if you are so inclined. Great location with PLENTY of restaurants within walking distance. 2 Free (on the weekends) parking garages within 2 blocks. Also, METRO accessible.

Landmark is a neighborhood dream all best movies, not mainstream. Charming atmosphere, convenient pay online w discounts & assigned seats. Popcorn, candy & bar w drinks you can take into movie. Ladies & gents bathrms clean, escalator or elevator, personable staff, small cozy w comfortable seats & again all the off-beat great movies you cant find otherwise.Metered 1-hr pkg, or better yet, free weekend pkg lots. Or Mon Ami Rest valet right out front so for a drink or great dinner $$ & validation you get $7+ tip pkg (for mom who cant walk far!)

So i managed to take my foreign girlfriend to this neighborhood cinema since i heard a lot of good things about it and the experience was great! My main idea was to find as much foreign movies as possible and we were so happy we had a great selection. Drinks are reasonably priced, the cinema is clean and will make this our weekend hangout spot.

Pricey, but you can choose your seats in advance and buy a cocktail to enjoy. Theaters are average-sized. Seats are luxurious and kept clean. Staff friendly.

Review №26

This is the place to go to catch independent films locally. The biggest downside is figuring out parking, at a decent price, though other locals might have some tips, and if you frequent the area, youll likely find good spots on your own. Im not sure when it was added, nor if it applies to e every screen, but the addition of reserved seating is most welcome. The theaters are typically smaller, cozier, if you will, which is by no means a bad thing. I honestly dont recall if it was stadium seating, but Im assuming it was, as I found no issues seeing over others. I definitely can recommend it, if more independent films are to your liking!

I went here a little over a month ago to see Widows with my wife and everything was good except for the seating. It was clean...The picture and sound was good but that was it. The seats are comfortable but do not recline and have zero leg room. When I say zero I mean ZERO! Its so bad that you have to bump every person on the row when getting to your seat. When people get up during the movie they are bumping every person on their row to get out. The people on the end and a couple seats in would just get up and stand on the steps to let people in and out. It was the weirdest experience at a movie theater. Even the worst theaters have some leg room! I guess they were really trying to maximize profits so they crammed the rows as close as possible. But it was still packed with folks. Probably because of the location and the type of crowd that attends. I cant believe the reviews are so good with this seat situation. It was a very aggravating experience.

Great selection of foreign and independent movies. Hallways and concession stand often seem rather unkempt. High-traffic venue with no parking lot or parking garage right next to it. Its a good theater, but definitely prefer the Landmark Theater downtown (E Street).

Visited to take in At Eternitys Gate. What a lovely cinema. Comfy seating, nice bathrooms and there is even a bar if you want to have a drink. Granted, I took in an early show so I dont know how it is during rush hour and for more popular shows. Loved my time here but it is very far for me since I live in Frederick.

Review №31

Nice theater. Good seats although in some of the theaters legroom for tall folk can be a smidge limiting. They do a lot of less commercial filmz here which is great. Oh and they now have a full bar in the lobby which is an added bonus.

It is a nice theatre. The seats are comfortable and wide but I thought the slope of the rooms floor was not adequate. In other words I felt a bit short from my seat. Overall good sound and image quality. Will come back.

Review №39

This is a very well appointed multi-screen movie theater in the heart of Bethesda MDs bustling shopping district of small shops and restaurants. It focuses on intelligent films directed to mature, thoughtful audiences. You will find films that are Oscar and Golden Globe contenders, but no comic book based blockbuster wannabes. It has very comfortable stadium style reserved seating. It offers a full bar and high end snacks in addition to the typicality overpriced popcorn and other traditional movie theater fare.

Review №40

The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because they really need an employee or two to check in during the movie. There was such an obnoxious guy that would shake his soda with ice every time he wanted to drink and he bought that popcorn in the loud plastic bag and he would rattle the bag and mix the popcorn everytime he stuck his hand in. And even though he was shushed a few times he seemed to do it even louder.

I love Landmark Theaters. This is the reason I gave 5 stars in spite of one ticket collector/usher with whom I have had 3 uncomfortable encounters.The first encounter was sort of an assault to be blunt. He left his post and followed me toward the theater, asking me what the button I was wearing was about. The conversation quickly escalated into an interrogation of questions concerning where I got my news, etc. Finally I had to tell him that I had come to see a film and be entertained and not to engage in debate. I turned abruptly and joined my mystified friends entering the theater. I let it pass. Months later I had another altercation with the same guy who darted after me offering to help me with my get to the theater. I was having no trouble and told him so. I appreciate kindness, but this was very odd and inappropriate and he was blocking my way, until I asked him to get out of my way. I registered my complaint and was told that because I did not get the guys name and only had a general discription they couldnt do much. Unfortunately, I had waited some time to make a complaint, while thinking not to make trouble. But now I have had another opportunity to witness his weirdness. HE IS SEEMS TO BE IN HIS 60s WITH CURLY SILVER HAIR AND GLASSES. HE IS MEDIUM BUILD, FIT, ON THE SMALL SIDE. MAYBE 59. On this past Monday 9/19/2019 My friends and I went to your theater to view the 4:30pm showing of the Linda Ronstadt film. I was telling my friends how I disliked assigned seating because it is always hard to find the numbers for me, etc. The same guy darted after me seemingly from thin air, yelling, Can I help you find your seat!. I turned and saw it was HIM and abruptly (too abruptly said NO. He replied in a loud an sarcastic tone, Well, ECUUUUSE me for trying to help!. I turned and told him every time I see him he is a problem and to leave me alone. My 2 friends were shocked by his rude unprofessional behavior. It was the conversation at dinner. I did not ask his name. I had planned to ask someone else his name upon leaving leaving the thearter, but when I left he was leaning on the consessio stand chatting up the attendant there. So I bolted with my walker to the escalator. I would not risk waiting on elevator access and be targeted for another confrontation. This is not why I go to Landmark Theaters. I enjoy the film selection you provide, and I have in the past relished the atmosphere and the lovely staff and management at the Bethesda Row location. Unfortunately, due to one bizarre little man, I need to stick to E Street. I did not want to punish you with a bad rating, but I had to file another complaint in hopes someone can teach this person some ettiguitte that is present the rest of the staff.Thank you.

Review №53

Their captiview systems NEVER work for the previews. So, cant test them before the movie starts. Then, they systems either dont work at the beginning of the movie or fails about 1/4 to 1/2 way through the movie. Ive noted this to the managers many times over the years and all I got were free movie passes. Then, the next movie still does not have operational CaptiView systems. Bumping this up to the Governors office now.

Would give no stars if I could. Absolutely dreadful. Went on Christmas to see Vice movie, and directly behind me was a small group of people who somehow smuggled a case of wine into theater. They proceeded to get piss poor drunk and made noise and repeatedly jumped over the barrier next to me to go to the bathroom. At one point, they actually dropped the bottles, resulting in one of them nearly breaking. Begged manager (managers?) for assistance, they didnt seem to care that these people had completely ruined my movie experience, offered me a refund and then looked the other way. Even when pointed out who these people were, management didnt seem to care in the slightest. Terrible moviegoing experience, avoid at all costs!!!!

Review №65

The woman at the box office was pleasant. Ticket taker was nice enough. Positives about end there. Bartender at bar was unattentive to seated guests, only worked the line even when it grew as you sat waiting (a woman sat next to me and had less patience than I did). Oh well, saved money there. Theatre seats are uncomfortable on the back if youre short, but lack the leg room for not only tall people, but to get to the center seats when people are seated in aisle seats - that combination makes no sense! Ive lived in Bethesda for 6 years and finally decided to catch a movie at this location after the Regal was torn down, and Ive gotta say, I dont feel like I was missing much.

This is our favorite theater with a better variety of food and a well stocked bar to enjoy our treats in a comfortable lobby while waiting for friends. The reserved and comfortable seating is on a steeply raked floor so that there are no obstructed seats. They show the better, more interesting movies.

My favorite movie theater. I moved to a pretty far area, but I still take the hour long train commute to get there when I want to see a movie. Such friendly staff, and I love the whole atmosphere. You get to choose your seat beforehand and theres usually an usher to show you to it. Its a very clean place too, which is a big plus for a movie theatre.

I recently attended a movie there and really enjoyed the experience until the after the movie. I was greatly disappointed at the way the manager handled my situation. I misplaced my earring, which dropped out of my ear. I hadnt become aware of until I got across the street (from the theater), at a nearby restaurant. At that time I returned to the theater and inquired about my earring to a staff member. I was overjoyed when he said that he personally found it and gave it to the manager, Julius Black. However when he reached out to the manager I was then told that it was again misplaced because he didnt know where he had placed it. This was no more than an hour later from the end of the movie. They had a lost and found which was empty and the manager, within the duration of a hour, could not remember where he placed my gold hoop earring. I felt that it was very negligent and insensitive on his part. It would have been nice if it was in safe keeping for at least and 24 hours, otherwise what is the point of having a lost and found. I gave my contact number just in case it resurfaced and asked for a contact just in case I didnt receive a phone call (which I didnt). When I called, the manager said that he couldnt find it, which led me to believe that it was either thrown away or taken because it wasnt put in a safe place. Furthermore there was no compensation for the irresponsibility of the theater once the earring was found. I am very saddened and disappointed because they had sentimental value.
