My first time watching a movie at the Angelika and as different as it is, I am slightly disappointed. Maybe some people like hearing the projector while watching a movie, or sitting in a long narrow theater that is not too inclined, and paying the same price as any other Manhattan cineplex. I don't. If it had the feel of Village East Cinema, I would cut it some slack, but instead it reminds me of the cheap theater closest to where I grew up. You know, the one with lots of kids, can sneak into other movies and your shoes come out with a brand new bottom. What I can say positively about this place, which does matter immensely, is the company. Even as you walk past the line forming to buy tickets outside (there are 3 machines to buy by credit card inside, by the way) you can already see that the people going to this theater are the respectable kind. During the whole movie, I did not hear anybody talk or any phones go off. I don't even remember anybody getting up to go to the bathroom. And as cliche as it can get, there was clapping when the movie ended.

Movie Theaters
Let The Right One In
Be aware those with ADD- it is a slow paced movie. Not your typical Hollywood film that has to have a climax. This story is just that, a story between the main characters just living their lives. Oh, and there's vampires. I do not know what the hype about Twilight is, but this one has it beat no contest.
