Celebrating 75 Years of Movies on the Big Screen!

COOLIDGE CORNER THEATRE'S 75TH ANNIVERSARY BIG SCREEN CLASSIC MOVIE SERIES - PRESENTED BY TRADER JOE'S

The Coolidge was born on December 30, 1933, the same year as FDR's New Deal. To celebrate, we're hosting a year of special events.

In association with a local community business partner, Trader Joe's, we brought democracy to your favorite independent not-for-profit movie theater -- we held an election! Maybe it was the historic presidential election fever this year, but we put the vote to our patrons, members, and Trader Joe's customers to select their top film from each decade since the Coolidge started showing movies. We'll be showcasing each decade's winner every month starting in our birthday month, December, 2008. Beautifully projected on our giant silver screen, these classic films will transport you from the Golden Age of Hollywood to the best in current World Cinema, shown the way they were meant to be seen. Please join us as we celebrate the history of this beloved movie palace and that of the art of film itself.

The results are in! Here is the list of winning titles. More info and events coming soon!
