The one I saw Ghostbusters at is just down from where I have been staying, on Queen Street East. It is called the Fox (
www.foxtheatre.ca), which underwent renovations (and new ownership I think) last year. The seats recline and are very comfortable, and they've got old movie theatre memoriabilia throughout (including several old projectors and posters, my favorite being the one for Chinatown that's just above the john in the bathroom). Normally they function as more of a second-run joint; if you check out their September schedule it's full of Wall-E and Get Smart. Ghostbusters was a part of an 80s film series they did this month - I wanted to get out for Robocop and Weird Science but didn't have time.
I'd recommend checking it out if the upcoming schedule were better, because it really is a quaint old haunt and for me $10 was money well spent for the Ghostbusters experience. As far as other similar theatres in the city, I am not sure as I haven't been here long, but from my understanding the Fox - endless Crystal Skull reruns notwithstanding - is quite reputable.
