Historic movie theater. Original home of the Grand Ol' Opry show. It's gone through major renovations and now hosts the most unique films (foriegn, indi & local), Titans football on the big screen and great concerts.
The Belcourt has been an entertainment district unto itself in the trendy streetcar-suburb of Hillsboro Village. The genres have changed many a time from opening night in 1925, which saw the Belcourt as a silent movie house, to the Grand Ole Opry days of 1934-36, to its present-day reincarnation as the city's pre-eminent independent cinema.

A trip to the Belcourt is moviegoing the way it used to be, yet it doesn't stop there -- the
non-profit venue offers much more than movies. It's been revived into a space that caters to theatergoers, music lovers and nostalgia seekers in general, with a busy calendar of films, live concerts and events geared to the season or special audiences, such as kids.
Why go out to dinner first? Belcourt is the only Nashville theater that serves pizza and offers a full bar. The usual munchies--popcorn, candy, sodas--are also available.

The Belcourt is great for a million reasons, but the seating is lacking. It shows wonderful movies you can't see anywhere else in 100 miles and they offer alcohol at the consession stand.

Sloping, hard seats makes it hard to enjoy any film for long. I boycotted them for a long time for not showing movies at the advertised times. And I've walked out of 2 movies that were too pervy. They want to be different and they are!
Pros
+ Classics shown at times
Cons
- Everything else
