Great selection of over 80 Gay and Lesbian Spanish and International films that are shown in cinemas across the city. The films celebrate diversity in all its many forms and the public can vote for their favourite - well worth a visit!

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.

This city tries not to take itself too seriously, so why not see Alex de La Iglesia's The Day of the Beast. This is a spoof terror film in which a priest convinces himself that the anti-christ will be born in Madrid on Christmas Day. He teams up with some local metal-heads as he tries to find a way to Satan in the city's sinful streets.

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.
