    Nuovo Sacher

    Owned by cult Roman film director Nanni Moretti, this is the place to catch the latest European art-house flick. Originally designed to support home-grown film talent, it occasionally also shows films in their original language (English, French, Swedish etc). Summer screenings take place in the courtyard next to the cinema.

    Cinema dei Piccoli

    Near the Villa Borghese's southern entrance (Piazzale San Paolo del Brasile), the Cinema dei Piccoli is the world’s smallest cinema. Housed in a curious chalet-style building, it screens kids’ films most afternoons – check the website for details.

    Metropolitan

    This modern multiplex not 2m from Piazza del Popolo has four screens and the latest surround-sound audio technology. New releases, blockbusters and the more off-beat Hollywood films are regularly shown in the original language. For popular films it’s best to book ahead.

    Cinema Azzurro Scipioni

    Italian film-maker Silvano Agosti opened his little two-screen affair after dreaming that Charlie Chaplin told him to do so. Think that's quirky? Did we mention the airline seats? The 'in-flight' entertainment spans foreign and local art house to immortal Hollywood classics.
