Landmark Theaters - Ritz Five

Possibly the greatest theater in a very convenient location to food and drink in Philadelphia

This use to be under independent ownership (Ritz Theaters). Now it is part of the Landmark chain. The 400 Ranstead Street theater is known as Ritz Bourse to the locals. This screening rooms are located underground and are small but it's known mostly for independent/non-mainstream films. My fondest recollection of the Bourse is the screening of "There Will Be Blood" a month before it was released at midnight on Saturday night (or Sunday morning depending when you go to bed). The staff are very polite and most likely very educated. The other Ritz theaters are the Ritz Five and Ritz East (which has more mainstream screenings), which for some reason are not listed on Superpages but they are within 4 blocks of each other. Their website (unless they change ownership again) is RitzFilmBill.com (since Superpages does not allow linking)
