The first of Madrid's four-screen art houses, the Alphaville opened in 1977 and has been committed to showing an adventurously contrasting blend of popular and nonmainstream movies ever since. The comfortable basement restaurant was the original movie house. Programs start at 4:30pm. Late-night shows are on Friday and Saturday at 12:30am.
