A
Reel Cinemas
Pre-assigned seats, THX sound and a staggering 22 screens make Reel one of the top flick magnets in town. The fare is mostly Hollywood blockbusters, except in the Picturehouse, purportedly the UAE’s first dedicated art-house cinema. If you don’t want to sit with the hoi polloi, shell out Dh110 for a reclining leather chair in a 32-seat Platinum Movie Suite.

Cinestar Mall of the Emirates
Cinestar would be just another multiplex were it not for its Gold Class screening rooms, where seats are enormous recliners and servers bring you blankets, popcorn in silver bowls and drinks in glass goblets. This is adult movie watching: no one under 18 years old is allowed and everyone actually pays attention to the film. Reservations essential.

Gold Class
The ultimate way to see a movie, Gold Class is more of a small screening room than a cinema, but you’ll hardly care. The seats are enormous recliners and waiters bring you blankets, popcorn in silver bowls and drinks in glass goblets. Best of all, everyone pays attention to the film. Reservations essential.

Lamcy
The two-screen complex is one of the few remaining theatres showing Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil films. If you’ve never seen a Bollywood movie on the big screen, do it in Dubai on a Friday, the only day off for most Asian expatriates. You’re in for a memorable experience.

Movies Under the Stars
Settle into a beanbag on a balmy winter’s night with a bucket of beers and watch a themed double feature of vintage-modern films. Even if you don’t appreciate, say, Tom Cruise night, it’s hard to argue when admission is free.
