Thanks for participating in Patch's Readers' Choice! Our nomination period is now over. Check back July 23, when live voting for your favorites begins!

-------------------

Imagine that it's Friday night and a flick you've been waiting for months to see finally hits the theaters.

Obviously, you're going to go see it, right? But which theater do you pick?

Do you hit up Marcus Theatres Orland Park for the ample close parking and stadium seating? The Holiday Star Theater in Park Forest? Marcus Cinema in Chicago Heights?

Maybe you drive a little farther from home for affordable concessions, cushy seats, an impeccably clean theater, or your favorite popcorn. Perhaps you stay close for the convenience.

What is it that makes your favorite movie theater great?

Nominate your choice in the comments section below. Here are a few suggestions; however, they STILL MUST BE NOMINATED to be included in the poll! As theaters are suggested, they'll be added to the list and bolded.

• Marcus Cinema in Chicago Heights
• Marcus Theatres Orland Park
• AMC Showplace 14 in New Lenox

We will accept nominations through July 9.
