    Alkazar Sinema Merkezi

    First a porn cinema, then an art-house joint, Alkazar has now given in to Hollywood, though it still occasionally programs an art-house hit. There are three screens and a plush and cosy interior.

    Citylife Cinema

    The bar with its magnificent Bosphorus view makes this multiplex in the City’s Nişantaşı Mall one of the most popular cinemas in town. It screens a mixed program of art-house and blockbuster flicks.

    Atlas Sinemaları

    On the 1st floor of one of the historic arcades along İstiklal, Atlas is always bustling. There are three screens and the programming is eclectic. International İstanbul Film Festival screenings also happen here.

    Rexx

    We’ve sheltered here from bad weather before risking a ferry back to town more than once. On the Asian side of İstanbul, the Rexx’s program usually lacks surprises. The only exception is in April, when it screens part of the International İstanbul Film Festival.
