Cinemas and Movie Theaters

Berlin has quite a number of cinemas and other locations which show films in English - ranging from big multiplexes such as the CineStar in the Sony Center through to small art-house type places.

(For an overview of the situation with cinema in general and English-language movies in particular, see our page on cinema in Berlin.)

ACUDkino - small cinema (part of an "alternative" community centre) with occasional showings of independent films in English (e.g. as part of britspotting 07).

Babylon http://www.yorck.de/yck/yorck_ie/yorck_kinos/babylona.php Dresdener Straße 126, 10999 Berlin - Kreuzberg | Tel.: (030) 61 60 96 93 | U-Bahn: Kottbusser Tor (U1, U8)

Babylon (not to be confused with Babylon Mitte) is a small, two-screen cinema in the middle of the largely Turkish quarter around Kottbusser Tor. It's one of Berlin's longer-running cinemas with a tradition of showing movies in their original language (mainly, but not always, English). The emphasis is on non-mainstream film, but you can often see the "better" class of blockbuster here too. Babylon is part of the Yorck Kino group of cinemas.

	Broadway http://www.yorck.de/yck/yorck_ie/yorck_kinos/broadwaykinos.php Tauentzienstraße 8, 10789 Berlin - Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf | Tel.: (030) 26 55 02 76 | U-Bahn: Wittenbergplatz; Kurfürstendamm
A well-established 4-screen art-house cinema which has survived the great Ku'damm movie theater die-off. Occasionally shows films in English.

	Brotfabrik http://www.brotfabrik-berlin.de/ Caligariplatz, 13086 Berlin - Pankow | Tel.: (030) 471 40 01 | Tram: M2, M13, 12
A small arthouse cinema showing a mix of German and international films.

It might not be Berlin's artiest cinema, but the Cinestar beneath the Sony Center's Mt. Fuji-like sail construction is Berlin's only multiplex which shows mainly English-language or other non-German films, and as such captures quite a cosmopolitan audience. Useful for catching the latest blockbusters; infamous for the excessively long pre-film commercials (personal record: 45 minutes).

Tucked away up four flights of stairs inside the Hackesche Höfe, the Filmtheater shows a mix of films. You can catch the odd blockbuster here, but more usually something with an OmU tag, and quite often something arty and / or original (they're one of the cinemas taking part in britspotting 07).
