Kansas City Fine Arts Theatres

Oddly enough, Kansas City fine arts theatres can be found in the trendiest areas and in shopping malls. Many of these have been beautifully renovated, so not only do you get the experience of art type movies; you also get to enjoy striking surroundings. These houses usually have offerings that span from foreign films, short films, Oscar worthy films (usually before you hear of them in the mainstream), and other exotic styles. They are also usually where film fests and series are held.

Fine Arts Group Home Page This a local theater group that offers some of the best movie experiences in town. They have put an enormous amount of energy into their theaters and film offerings.

You have to take my word for the promise these theaters hold--you aren't going to get even a hint of how great they are from their website.

While you’ll find the usual movie fare of popcorn and sodas, The Glenwood also has a jazzy little coffee bar with yummy baked goods, too.

Trust me, this makes for a memorable date night!
