text: The Manor Theatre is not only one of my favorite places in the Burgh but also one of my favorite movie theaters in general. Having recently had a face-lift for its 90th birthday, I was pleasantly surprised by the new renovations. My Dad was eager to visit because he could order a beer (and drink it too!) while we watched a movie; however, I was more eager to see the newest Wes Anderson flick which was only showing in one other theater in the city. Even with the Manor's new decor, it has maintained its city neighborhood ambiance. For example, there were university students and older couples all enjoying the latest foreign film from France.\n\nThe Manor has the reputation for being the \"art house\" theater of the city and this is because it doesn't cater to the movies you'll find at your typical megaplex. With the exception of a few blockbusters and \"mainstream\" releases (The Avengers for example), there is a fine selection of independent, arthouse, and foreign films that you won't find at AMC Loews. \n\nHowever, while I do appreciate the Manor's selection, this is Pittsburgh not New York City, so they're not going to have every film you want to see when you want to see it. Unfortunately, you may have to wait a couple of weeks or months to see the newest foreign flick, but at the same time, at least this theater gets these particular genres of film.\n\nOverall, I could not be happier with this theater. I'm so glad that Pittsburgh has the Manor. It's a great venue which every film lover should visit! \n\n*Also, matinee prices are great and seats are very comfortable too.
