There is nothing quite like catching a movie at a local independent movie theater. The many great theaters of Long Island are not only full of character, but they also allow you to step back into history. Some of these community assets have been entertaining residents for over one hundred years, and they offer more of a laid-back, unique change from the traditional, commercialized movie-going experience offered by the large chains.
