Toronto's sun readers just dropped their top 5 picks for the best historic movie theaters

still running in the greater Toronto area.

Coming in first, the Fox Theatre in the beach takes the crown.

Its Toronto's oldest continuously operating cinema, opened since 1914, with the single

screen mixing new releases, indie flicks, foreign, films, and classic Hollywood gems.

Second place goes to the Kingsway Theatre in Atobikoke, a vintage art deco spot that's

been a neighborhood staple since March 5th, 1940.

It survived closure after its chain folded, got heritage status in 2008, and reopened with

a bonus 28-seat screening room.

Upstairs.

Third is the Roxy Theatre up in Uxbridge, a full-service spot screening everything from

fresh runs to old favorites.

Number 4.

The review cinema in Ranz's Vols dates back to 1912 as Toronto's oldest operating theatre

now, community run after dodging, eviction drama.

Rounding out the list at 5, the royal cinema in Little Italy, built in 1939, started with

a roller rink and dance hall, but now, host films, festivals, live shows, and even sound

mixing sessions in its quirky space.

These gems show how reader love keeps indie cinema pulsing in the GTA, from restorations

to passionate owners passing the torch.

Shout out to the communities holding it down.

Next time you're craving that buttery popcorn vibe, hit one up and keep the tradition

rolling.
