Enzian Theater   

Every city has a theatre known as the local art house, where you can see films that are too obscure or weird to play at the local multiplex. Orlando is no different. Since 1989, the Enzian, which previously hosted live performances, has been showing alternative (and mainstream alternative) films in its hip environment. Rather than sitting in uncomfortable bleacher chairs, you sit on one of four levels at small tables in cushioned swivel chairs, where you can order food -- and drinks -- from the wait staff that slinks silently around during the film. The Enzian's intimate but not cramped theatre also features surround sound and a large screen, keeping pace with its competition. The not-for-profit Enzian is also the home of the Orlando Film Festival. Parking isn't easy -- there aren't many spaces and the streets around the theatre aren't parking friendly -- but it's well worth the trouble.
