Laemmle Claremont 5

Amsterdam was the worst movie I have ever seen. So many good actors. The trailers were good. Left after an hour.
Clean bathrooms and like the smaller theaters!

Went to see Johnny Cash movie.
The seats are ok for about 1hr.
Then my lower back hurt.
The floor was super sticky

What a privilege to view the documentary "Only In Theaters" at this theater. The storytelling is superb. I highly recommend seeing it before it leaves the theaters (Currently playing (Nov 2022) at the Claremont Laemmle theater). If you're not able to see it in the theater, put it on your list to watch when it goes to streaming.
The showing that I saw had a Q & A after with the President/CEO of the family-owned Laemmle independent theaters Greg Laemmle and the Director of the film Raphael Sbarge.
This 80+ year-old family-run independent theater chain was originally motivated by a desire to bring art/culture, particularly foreign films to the LA county area, which were not accessible to people decades ago other than to fly to another country to view a foreign film. This family led the way for independent cinema. Their struggle to keep the business alive, especially through the pandemic is both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
Beautiful film.

The theater has great prices on concessions. Tickets are reasonable and the movie selection is fantastic. As an independent theater they are able to show films that you are unlikely to find in commercial theater. They are also able to support lesser known film makers by showing their films.

Each theater is intimate with comfortable seating, cupholders and large clear screens and good sound quality. Friendly service and great location.
I love this little theater.

Loved this independent theater. It reminded me of the great theaters from when I was a kid. Well cared for, neat, clean and comfortable. I especially loved the cool little snack bar. We will definitely be back!

Neat theater!

Location is older, but is clean. Seats were dated, but better than I expected. Padded, but non adjustable. Sense of community, and art, is present throughout the theater. Really neat.

Screen and audio were decent as well. Allowed me to be fully immersed in the movie.

Lots of activities to do nearby within walking distance. Great spot to catch and a movie before/after grabbing a bite or shopping.

Best theater around. Always clean and friendly. Best fresh popped popcorn. Prices are cheap especially afternoon and seniors.

I want to support the theatre but it is urgent that the hallway carpet gets cleaned. It is very bad. Cleanliness is very important to maintain clientele.

This movie theater is very nice. It reminds you of back in the day. It does not have the upgraded seating or anything like that but it is very comfortable and it is in a college setting so I really enjoyed myself. My husband enjoy yourself as well.

Thursday Throwback-Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Was so great to see this classic movie on the big screen. The awesome soundtrack booming from the sound system. Raisenetts and glass of Pinot complete the experience. "Hey bud, let's party"

Older theater that needs some work but it’s a lot of fun and has beautiful decor. They have lots of artwork hanging and had a ceramics corner.

The seats were padded but the first chair I sat in was broken and sagged. Second was better.

The concession attendant was super nice and talkative. The ticket booth attendant was playing guitar.

We loved all of these small touches and will be back.

I always enjoy seeing movies at Laemmle in Claremont. The theatres are just the right size. It's a wonderful.local theatre and I would hate to see them go. So I go here instead of the bigger theatres.

My favorite movie theater great service, great experience, great deals as well as clean! Try the popcorn on Thursday it's free!

Great small quaint college town theatre. Tons of Indy films and mainstream. Super nerdy staff and nearly never gets sold out.

Building has been sold. Leaving huge void in Village & City. Best movie pop orn. Pleasant servers. Clean. Hate to see our theater go.

The only place to see amazing foreign /art/ indie fare outside the immediate LA area.this chain sometimes shows films that even the other arthouse venues don't show, so to the Laemmle schedulers.people have complained of the standard old style chairs.well, i prefer the firm seats to the new plush ones that raise your foot rest or neck rest at the same time, causing a really uncomfortable visit.minus 1 star for my popcorn being very cold.i have been a fan of this place since * it opened*. The staff shouldn't assume anything about anyone.but younger people do that, sadly.hopefully, the new ownership will keep it a movie venue for art foreign indie fare.

We used to love going here but this time it was a disappointment. However they tried to help by giving us vouchers for a different time.

Love this hidden theater avoid the crowd plus they show wide, release indie & art house. Plus they serve alcohol with many food options in the close surrounding area.

Great place to catch a flick. Screens a lot of foreign films, documentaries, and art house films that you'll be hard-posed to catch on the big screen. Also extend the usual blockbusters, of course. Friendly staff. They let you bring in your coffee from the Coffee Bean across the way!

I always appreciate this theatre for its small rooms, decent pricing, great movie selections, and tidiness. Glad they made it through the pandemic thus far!

Just nice. I love the vibe here. They display the works of local artisans. They don't gouge the public. Seating is comfortable and clean.
