4. 35 MM

This is one of Moscow's most storied cinemas; it's located at the corner of the Garden Ring and Pokrovka Ulitsa. (Take the red line to the Krasniy Vorota metro stop.) They play foreign films (including many American titles) in the original language, often until very late at night. There's no surround sound or stadium seating at 35 MM, but there's history. Soviet and Russian film aficionados have been coming here for decades.
