The Quarry Theatres in Countryside, IL
Yesterday my youngest son, Matt (22) and his girlfriend, Jamie, invited me to go see the newest Harry Potter movie. We have many movie theaters in our area but they insisted on going to the Quarry Cinemas at 9201 W. 63 St, Countryside, IL 60525. The phone number is 708-352-0767.
My husband asked them why they wanted to travel farther to The Quarry Cinemas as we have closer theaters. But I didn’t have to ask since The Quarry theaters are newer and offer stadium seating. I didn’t actually take a count of the actual number of theaters but on one source I saw the name listed as The Quarry Cinemas 14, so I’m assuming that’s the number of available theaters. Harry Potter was running on a different theater almost every hour. There were also 12 other listings for the day so maybe there are more than 14 theaters. Next time we go I’ll ask.
This is also my favorite venue for movies. Other local southwest suburban movie theaters are:
- Loews Chicago Ridge - 500 Chicago Ridge Mall, Chicago Ridge, IL 60514 - 708-423-4161
Loews Crestwood, 13221 Rivercrest Dr., Crestwood, IL 60445 - 708-396-2361
Marcus Orland Park Cinemas - 16350 S. Lagrange Rd., Orland Park IL 60462 - 708-873-1900
There is also a local discount theater called Value Harlem Corners, 7340 W. 87 St., Bridgeview, IL 60455- 708-598-5559, if you don’t mind seeing movies around the same time they come out on video.
For what it’s worth, my favorite Harry Potter movie is still the prior one, The Prisoner of Azkaban, the 3rd in the series.
