While Elwood Cinema shows the latest, hottest movies, it still retains that family-friendly neighborhood vibe. First opened in the 1960s, it's been updated since, with four screens, digitally mastered production technology, and updated plush seating with ample room for moviegoers to stretch out their legs. The theater shows appreciation for its many loyal customers by gifting them with free snacks and, every few months, free screenings of classic movies such as The Sandlot, The Breakfast Club, and that Felix the Cat biopic. The staff also does a great job of hosting birthday parties complete with pizza and unlimited popcorn.
