The Brattle Theatre is a repertory movie theater located in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The theatre is a small movie house with one screen. It is one of the few, if not the only movie theater, that uses a rear-projection system; the projector is located behind the screen rather than behind the audience. The Brattle Theatre mainly screens a mixture of foreign, independent, and classic films. Despite the rapid disappearence of American arthouse theaters, the Brattle has managed to maintain a loyal base of moviegoers while remaining independently operated.

Bogie Cult

Starting in the late 50's, the Brattle started a tradition of airing Humphrey Bogart films during the week of final exams at Harvard University. Films such as Casablanca and the Maltese Falcon were watched again and again and the "Boogie Cult" at the Brattle was formed. It was not uncommon for fans to attend these movies in costume and recite the dialogue word for word. Even to this day, there is always a packed crowd to see a Bogart film, such as the traditional Valentines day showing of Casablanca.
