In the heart of Brookline sits the Coolidge Corner Theatre, a cultural landmark and hot spot since 1933. The cinema keeps fans flocking back with its distinctive film selection and vibrant retro aesthetic (the beer and wine probably help, too). The theater also offers nearly 20 programs, including senior matinees, Science on Screen, and Coolidge Shorts. Catch some of the classics like Flashdance, or dabble with new releases like Margin Call, in the showings to come.
290 Harvard St., Brookline; $9.75 general admission. For more info and prices, visit coolidge.org.
