The PATHE Unlimited, for the addict

At the Tuschinski theatre, two tickets will cost you up to 18 euro. Here's a tip for the movie lover: The Pathe Unlimited. Go on! For 17 euro 50 cents per month, you can go to all of the PATHE cinemas unlimited. You can register at the PATHE in de Muntplein- it takes about 15 mins, and you need a Dutch bank account. It is a 4 month committment, and after that, you may cancel anytime.
I do not download movies. My laptop is so old, it only has 12 GB of memory. Therefore, I need to satisfy my cravings, and hey- its legal, fun and has become half of my social life. What's better than going to the movies alone any afternoon of the week? Almost nothing, apart from Vondelpark! Unfortunately, the PATHEs are mainstream, and do not play many of the new independent films we can find at Kriterion, The Movies, and other smaller theatres. Nevertheless, they put on some decent ones, and you'll find that you end up seeing everything in English, just to stick it to the PATHE 'man' and make it worth your 17.50. I still haven't seen Nacho Libre.. but honestly, I just might.

Also helpful- if you are currently studying Nederland, go to see a foreign film and read the Dutch subtitles. I recommend Paris Je T'aime playing right now in the Tuschinski-its beautiful, in French with Dutch subtitles.
