Fodor's Expert Review Pathé Tuschinski

Since 1921, this eclectic Art Deco reverie has been the most dazzling place for moviegoers to escape from reality. Owned by the country's main movie distributor, the theater has six screens showing the latest Hollywood blockbusters and the occasional art-house number. Before the lights go out, enjoy the beautiful interior of the main room.

Alternatively, head to nearby Pathé de Munt, the largest cinema in the city center. With 13 screens, showing the latest mainstream films, it's a typical blockbuster venue. Don't expect much charm, but there will be plenty of legroom, a state-of-the-art sound system, and huge screens. There are also sister theaters near Leidseplein (Pathé City) and in Zuid-Oost (Pathé Arena). All tickets can be booked via www.pathe.nl.
