Spain
A state-run arthouse cinema showing a range of different films. All films are shown in original version, with Spanish subtitles if required. Screenings are eclectic - I've seen some gems I'd never have watched otherwise, some bona fide classics and some "I'll go because it's in English and cheap" bilge. Listings can be found in Guia del Ocio, or with film notes at the cinema itself.
Tickets on my last visit cost just under 3€.
The main screen is a fabulous old salon, complete with balcony and boxes. The whole cinema is housed in a fin de siecle building which has starred in at least one Almodovar film.
As with any Spanish museum, morgue or meeting place there is a cafeteria serving coffee and snacks on site.

Cine Dore is an old cinema which now houses the Filmoteca Nacional. It shows films from all over the world, subtitled in Spanish, including old black and white movies (which is why I used to love going there when I lived in Madrid). The building is beautiful, it's very cheap to see a film and there's a lovely cafe there as well.
