Best of Boston

What is it about this blockbuster-movie palace that keeps us coming back? Maybe it’s the voluptuous SuperLux-level seats that recline to almost horizontal. Maybe it’s that sometimes when you order a bottle of white wine, it’s delivered to your seat in a bucket of ice? Or maybe it’s the lobby lounge, with full bar, shuffleboard table, free turntable, and vinyl collection of movie soundtracks. Probably it’s all of that—fostering an experience so soothing that we’ll pay to see flicks we wouldn’t stream for free at home. (Looking at you, Bob Marley: One Love.)
