Films
There are eight cinemas in Reykjavik, showing a
total of about 20 films per day. There's always a
good choice of films; most are American, but
several European films are invariably playing as
well as an Icelandic film or two. Films are shown in
their original languages with Icelandic subtitles.
The local newspapers print a schedule of the
movie theaters selections every day.
