Looking for something to do tonight? Head to the movies for Israel’s third Cinema Day, when most movies cost just NIS 10.
From 11 a.m. on, 40 theaters around the country, including the chains of YES Planet, Globus, Lev Smadar, Cinema City and Rav Hen, are offering NIS 10 to NIS 14 (for 3D films) tickets.
Most theaters are still charging a surcharge for ordering online, but it may be better to pay NIS 4 extra than to stand on long box office lines.
Still, it’s a great opportunity to see some of the latest films, such as “Burnt” with Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller playing premier chefs:

Try on some crime drama in “Black Mass,” starring an unrecognizable Johnny Depp, or fantasy action in Vin Diesel’s “The Last Witch Hunter.“
Another long-awaited film is “Tightrope,” with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, playing tightrope walker Philippe Petit’s 1974 walk between the Twin Towers.
Israeli movies are also being included in this year’s NIS 10 movies, creating the right moment to see “Baba Joon” (in Hebrew and Farsi), screened at the Toronto Film Festival, about a son running his father’s turkey farm, or “Freak Out,” about four soldiers on a week-long patrol up north.
