Theaters worth the trek

ngl Chicago cinema scene is unmatched if you know where to look. This is my rotation between stage crew calls at UIC and chasing basement shows in Pilsen — the Music Box midnight stuff lives in my head rent free and I will drag anyone to the Logan Square late shows no questions asked. Deep Tunnel vibes only, no AMC mallplex energy allowed on this list.
