like stepping into the past.....

August 30, 2015

Great, authentic feeling in this original neighbourhood theatre.......it hasn't changed much over the years.....brings back a lot of memories. Only problem is some of the seats are in desperate need of repair.....time to upgrade them. They are the only part of theatre that have not stood the test of time.

A throwback to the grander times of cinema

May 15, 2015

I will declare my bias right at the start and that as a cinephile I prefer the subtleties of the cinema experience and that is what the Westdale is all about. The theatre building itself retains the feel of times long past but is kept in reasonable condition to make the experience a comfortable one while allowing one to feel like they could still be back in the 40s or 50s watching what would soon be film classics. Their film selections vary from quaint indie films and documentaries to more mainstream commercial offerings and on occasion retro classics. The lads who run the theatre are always friendly, helpful and, while I know that they would like greater attendances at times, the smaller audiences allow for a cozier environment for sitting back and enjoying "real" cinema.

A hidden gem

February 06, 2015

Thank God for the Westdale Theater!! It is an oasis in the turbulent seas of modern theaters, which are overcrowded, overpriced commercial slums packed with some of the rudest scum imaginable. The ambience, great staff and lack of commercials are just a few of the Westdales charms, and their decision to run some of the best in indie movies is unmatched. I just pray that it survives so folks can see what a REAL theater is supposed to be like. Long may she run.

Will always support you

Yes, Will always support you... but - please make all seats comfortable, replace them one day, invest into the future! Otherwise most of your supporters will go somewhere else. Sorry.

A Brilliant Find

August 20, 2014

I went in not really knowing what to expect but found myself in the most beautiful theatre! Just being in there made my movie 1000 times better, it's the cutest place with a nice nostalgic feel. The staff were so nice and it was spotless and not run down or falling apart whatsoever, maybe they fixed the place up after the past reviews were written. Great popcorn too!

Great piece of History

May 31, 2014

I love this theatre. Not only do you get to watch a movie, but you get to watch it in nostalgic surroundings. Just the right size theatre; not like the sprawling plaza cinemas you find these days. Hope it is never allowed to go under.
