The cinemas in the city of Basel are some of the nicest in all of Switzerland. There is a very lovely cinema known by the name of Atelier which screens many great films from Asia and Europe. The films shown there are not usually very well known but to the people who love these types of movies this lovely place will be like home. The seats on the theatre are leather so if you do not like these seats maybe you should bring a jacket of throw to sit on, other than the seats you may not find the environment inside the usual for theatres.
The building may not be the most beautiful but to true fans of the cinema this will certainly be the last thing they are thinking about while watching a great film. The Atelier is definitely worth checking out even if you do not usually like these different types of movies, just be sure to be quiet while there.
