The Perfect Movie Night Awaits

Craving a blockbuster? An old favorite? A cult classic? You can catch cinema magic all over Bergen.

3 Movie Night

Summer is the time for blockbuster movies, and we are eyeing what’ll be in theaters in the coming days and weeks—Supergirl is slated for the end of the month, the live action Moana is coming at the start of July, and we’ve been excited about Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey (also coming in July) since January.

Want something you can watch now? (Maybe you want to celebrate June 12, National Movie Night.) You can stop by a local AMC, of course, or check one of these independent movie theaters in Bergen.

For special screenings and indie flicks, check out:

The Barrymore Film Center, Fort Lee. Also part history museum, this cinema offers big-screen presentations of classic films, independent flicks, big-budget movies and great throwbacks for kids.
