A
National Film Board
This cutting-edge cinema in the Quartier Latin offers regular screenings from an archive of 6000 films, documentaries and animated shorts, but the real attraction is its Cinérobothèque – make your choice and a robot housed in a huge, glass-roofed archive plucks your selection from the stacks. Then relax and settle back into individual, stereo-equipped chair units to watch your personal monitor. There is also a huge Canadian video and DVD collection available.

Ex-Centris Cinema
A showcase for independent films from around the world. It’s sleek and geared to provide pure movie enjoyment (popcorn and soft drinks are banned, for example, because they distract from the movie-watching experience). Besides several cinemas, this place is full of high-tech film gadgetry you have to see to believe, starting with the box-office cashier whose disembodied head speaks to you through electronic portholes when you buy your tickets.

Le Nouveau Cinéma du Parc
Located in the lower level of La Cité mall complex, Montréal’s English-language repertory cinema is a tried-and-true favorite of Plateau cinephiles. It shows cult classics as well as cool new releases and lots of foreign films. Despite the shabby decor, its charm and authenticity add to the cinematic experience.

Amc Forum
This may seem like just another multi-theater monster cinema, but it’s worth keeping an eye on these 22 screens. They are likely to have the most recent locally produced indie smash, foreign hit or subtitled Québécois film hit, as well as Hollywood blockbusters.
