The 6 Best Arthouse For Movies in Munich

It’s time to start! If you want a more arty night at the movies, there are a lot of independent theaters in Munich that show movies from all over the world. There’s a movie theater on this list for every movie fan, whether they want to watch a foreign-language film on a beanbag or a classic movie in a fancy setting.

City Kino

City Kino is actually a group of four different movie theaters in Munich, each with its own focus. The City Filmtheater on Sonnenstraße is its most intimate art house theater. This place has been around since 1959, when it served the boom of people who wanted to go to the movies after the war. Today, art films from all over the world are shown on the three screens. After the movie is over, you can get a drink at the café-bar or spend the evening in the beer garden.

Monopol Kino

Cinema, School, Movie Theater

This place has a lot of different styles. At first glance, the red seats and big screen make it look like any other mainstream movie theater. However, Monopol Kino has a diverse arthouse program that shows movies from all over the world. These guys are “purists” when it comes to movies. On the plus side, that means no commercials, but on the minus side, that means no popcorn or nachos! But if you want real style, head to the Kinobar screen. The in-room bar, which serves drinks before and after the movie, gives this place a bit of old-school glam.

Museum Lichtspiele

Theatiner Filmkunst

Cinema, Movie Theater

Theatiner Filmkunst is the place to go if you want to see a movie the old-fashioned way. It was opened in 1953 by Walter Kirchner, who was a big fan of French Nouvelle Vague movies and wanted to show them to people in Germany. With velvet-covered seats in a small theater room, it still has a lot of its old charm. Try to get seats near the front because the screen is a little smaller than those in modern theaters, and there is no Dolby surround sound.

Werkstattkino

Bowling Alley, Cinema, Theater

Werkstattkino was started by a group of friends as a hobby project in an old bowling alley. Because of this, the program is very varied, with everything from German brothel movies from the 1970s to Japanese monster movies and documentaries. You can also make suggestions for movies you’d like to see on the big screen in the guestbook. The five friends are in charge of everything, from selling tickets to showing the movie. If you can find this underground one-screen theater, it’s a real find.

New Maxim Cinema

Cinema, Theater

When you walk by, you don’t automatically think that New Maxim Cinema is a movie theater. With its wide arched windows and location on noisy Landshuter Allee, you can see right into the screening room. However, when the thick curtains are pulled across and the movie starts, the place changes. The theater has also been around for a long time. It was built before World War II and is now the third-oldest theater in Munich. It is proud of how it mixes independent films with mainstream films that are more artistic, and it also has regular discussions and talks.
