If for you going to a cinema is more than just seeing a movie, then Cinema Riga is gold among silver screens. The repertoire is diverse though emphasizes European cinema over Hollywood blockbusters. Luckily, many Western films reach Latvia before its neighbors to the south, so you might be able to catch that new French film noir and impress your friends with your intellectual depth. Two stylish auditoriums mean you won't need a map to find your theatre unlike some multiplexes. If you've got a hot date, for a little extra you can get a seat in the last three rows in the new auditorium, which have no elbow-rests (the possibilities are endless!). Cinema Riga is also host of "Lielais Kristaps" Latvian film festival.
