The Uptown Theater is absolutely the best place to see anything which is cinematographically or visually stunning. It boasts the largest screen in the DC area -- the screen is 32 feet tall and 70 feet wide; it also features Deco original architecture, a really large balcony that provides excellent viewing, and all the classic trappings of a quintessential movie house. Warner Brothers opened it 29 October 1936. Currently it shows first run, blockbuster films, but may also host significant restored, re-released films.
