Starlight Whittier Village Cinemas

Take advantage of the Groupon deal! Can’t beat 2 tickets with a free large popcorn. I don’t usually eat the popcorn so I give my popcorn ticket away to patrons in the con session stand :) This theater is cute and small– been coming here since I was a child. I recommend hitting one of the bars around uptown then catching a movie with the Groupon. It beats «Netflix & Chill» Lol

i Love this place… it’s reasonable only $ 5.00 on Tue & Thur and it’s clean.
There are also, restaurant nearby.
If you get lucky you will find some in the front… if not there is Parking all through the back.

I love this place. They have great discounts on Tuesday and Thursday where all day, movies are $ 5. Also they show old films on Mondays at 7.
The staff is friendly and the place is as clean as a movie theater can get. It does get pretty packed on discount days as well as the weekend so get there early.
Parking can be difficult even though there’s a lot of it. There are shops and restaurants around that use the same parking spaces. Just get there at least half an hour before the film. The only problem with this place is that the film doesn’t start on time. Usually like 5 to 10 min after the time it’s supposed to.

Fourth time coming to this place and I knew I had to write a review after the deal my sister and I got tonight. We watched Dirty Grandpa because Sisters wasn’t showing in the evening, and our tickets were only $ 5/​ea. So, I thought Dirty Grandpa would be mega dirty, and it sure was, but it was also hilarious. We came in to the theatre room once movie trailers started showing, so the room was full, but we were still able to find decent seats. Parking was no hassle at all on a Thursday night. Plus, the location of this theatre is super cute! Although it’s called uptown Whittier, it has an ‘old town, quaint and classy’ feel to it. (:

I love this theater. I will come here before going anywhere else. Easy parking on the street or in the back of the theater. Prices are great and on Wednesday it’s only $ 4.00 for seniors. LOVE the classic movies on Monday’s. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Tuesday and Thursday the movie is only $ 5.00. This is a gem of Uptown Whittier.

This place has that old theater feel that you rarely find nowadays. Not as fancy like newer theaters but definitely a great experience!

First time coming to this theatre. Has a retro vibe from the outside, but pretty up to date on the inside.

I grew up going here, it is a part of my history, but I came to town last week to see Star Wars with my family and they didn’t bother to turn off the lights for 4 minutes into the film. I mean, mistakes happen but this is Star Wars, that iconic screen crawl is fucking important to my nerdy ass and they blew it.

Charming and quaint little theatre in Uptown Whittier. All my experiences here have been great so far, so much so that I instinctively think of this theatre whenever I want to see anything. Ticket prices are extremely reasonable compared to other chain theatres. Finding a seat is usually never a problem, finding parking, on the other hand, is a different story. That would be my 1 big complaint, but it really isn’t a huge issue. I’d still come back (and continue to do so) to see movies here.

We waited outside in the freezing cold at 50 degrees in order to get good seats and bought the tickets on Fandango. When we were walking in we were told that we both had to get out of line and back to the box office to get the paper tickets… I pleaded with the attendant that we would lose our place in line and get bad seats… he told me NO and as a result we were not able to watch the movie as all the decent seats were taken… and than to add insult to injury there are no refunds and I was told by Mathew the Assistant Manager that they don’t let anyone in that hasn’t paid… what! I bought the tickets on Fandango! Horrible customer service! We were just trying to watch a movie… all bad…

This place has come a long way from when it was an adult theatre and my best friend from high school was a projectionist.
This is what a neighborhood theatre should be. A good selection of films, a clean and well kept auditorium and plenty of treats at the snack bar. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
Presentation is always top notch. Sharp clear digital picture and the sound is perfect.
But… They couldn’t start a movie on time to save their lives. 10 – 15 minutes late every showing, every time. And that’s for the trailers, so you can count on the feature starting at least 20 minutes after the listed showtime.
Just a huge pet peeve of mine from working at a theatre in my college days.

This is my go to theater. I like it. My kids love it. Especially my five year old. We don’t go anywhere else to watch movies. It’s close to home and they have very friendly service every time. Good stuff. Popcorn is good, hot dogs are good. It’s got a nice old fashioned experience. Easy parking, all around great cinema.

Great family atmosphere! Cute small theatre with stadium/​proscenium theatre seating. I took my mom to see «White Christmas» here and she loved it! The staff was so nice and welcomed us in and answered every question we had. We will definitely return and make it a weekly visit between my mother and I.

Best place in Whittier to watch movies. They have a $ 5 special on Tuesday & Thursday, which leaves plenty of money for the great restaurants in the surrounding area. The theater itself is small, and the seats are comfortable and not sticky. Tip: there are free parking lots behind the movie theater and adjacent building.

This place has such an amazing ambiance, I choose to go here rather than other places simply for that! The flashing old-​school sign on the street draws you in, and the inside still has all of it’s original décor.
Plus! On Tuesdays and Thursdays, movies are $ 5 (even for those midnight premieres that weirdly happen at 10pm!). You can also buy your tickets online before hand so you don’t have to worry about waiting in line, which I’ve seen go all around the building before.
A tip: there is a parking lot behind the building so that you don’t have to fight for one of the five spaces in front, but it is metered!

Growing up in Whittier I have a lot of fond memories at this place. It gives Whittier that ye friendly towne ambiance. Recently they’ve gotten better. Don’t know if its the staff, the leadership, or a mixture of both but it’s working.
Its a great place for kids and they always have some kind of special showings from midnight premieres to special screenings of old classic films. One of their amazing deals are $ 5 Tuesdays and their general prices are better than most, if not all, local movie theaters ranging from East LA to Fullerton.

What a breath of fresh air… just not literally because there’s an old musty smell to this place. Given the prices and what they show, it’s really hard to give this place anything other than a 5 star rating. While just about every movie theater has a rewards club, the rewards club here leaves me wanting more. You basically get something for free for every few tickets bought but they don’t escalate in worth. Other movie theaters escalate the reward but this movie theater just recycle the rewards after the third one.
Pros:
Great ticket prices
Recent movies
Location
Cons (if you can call it that):
Lackluster rewards club

Small theater in whittier. They have 5 $ movie specials Tuesday and Thursdays with a small arcade inside.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!
Just had my son’s 3^rd birthday party there a few days ago. we reserved the WHOLE ROOM for the NEW MINION movie!
Eric, Matthew, and Akeima (sorry I know that’s wrong spelling) were so polite, helpful, amazing, friendly, and very attentive.
If I could give them a better rating I would.
Pricing was so affordable, and all my friends and family were very impressed with this locations cleanliness, bathroom locations, and the fact that we had the whole room to ourselves. They even provide tables and allow you to bring your own food for your party and offer great deals if you buy from their concession stand. I am so beyond happy with the outcome of his party at Whittier Village Cinemas and their top notch staff!
We all had a blast and will be talking about this for years to come. thanks again guys for making me look cool and for the excellent service.
