Love this place but it can sometimes be a little bit cold in the winter so you just have to keep your coat on.
There might olnly be one showing per night - maybe 2 on the weekends but it's a beautiful old theatre with classice organ playing on Saturday nights. Easy to get to, plenty of parking and you can grab a bite to eat in quite a few restaurants within walking distance before the movie.
The Lafayette Theater is a landmark in Suffern. It's golden age decor and organ player create an atmosphere that has disappeared from todays theaters. It brings you back to a time when movies were a revered form of community entertainment. However in this world of today, where we are offered so many choices and chaos abounds, the Lafauette is a single theater offering 1 show at a time, except for wintertime when they off $Low cost Saturday matinees of old classics. It's worth the trip if you've never been.
The theatre is a throwback to the forties and theory even have a organist It is a pleasure to go to events there
I usually don't go to the movies, but I'd come here again. Nice big screen, old fashioned theatre was quite charming. Seats a tad uncomfortable. Bathrooms are dated. I didn't feel like a packed in sardine and that's why I'd return.
A true motion picture palace. From the marque on the street, the ticket window in the vestibule to the chandelier, a real landmark. A large single screen theater with wonderful character. Very few of these left. The Lafayette has state of the art sound and projection equipment so the films are well presented. All that and a live Wulwitzer organ performance before the Friday night show. (Check the timing)
This is a beautiful classic oldtime movie theater that hasn't been chopped into 3, 4, or 5 theaters. It's got all the trappings of a 1920's movie palace including a pipe organ that they play before the main shows on Fri and Sat I believe. It's been updated to digital and dolby so you can see first run movies in 3D when they're out. Parking is easy, it's cavernous so you can always get a good seat, and the staff is friendly. It's our first go to when a new movie is out.
I love the concerts that Marcello's does there. It is nice to sit in an old theater inside of the new metro plexes. I like the special events.
This is the first time I have felt inspired to write a review for a location other than hotel. Awesome experience that hardens back to the old days. Went last night. No annoying mall rat crowd talking, texting or being generally rude. Theater was about 75 percent full and audience applauded after the show. The man that takes your tickets actually thanks you for coming at is sincere. When was the last time that happened to you - anywhere?!
This is one of the more beautiful original movie theaters remaining from the times when kids would spend 5 cents to see movies and spend the day at the theater. The stained glass lighting the beautiful ceilings the organ makes this a theater event and a must see .the older seats aren't like a modern theater but the rows are wide enough to be comfortable and the atmosphere is wonderful
