$14 + Bar/Cafe = Bourgeois Theatre-going

by janetkchang at Citysearch

Everyone in Los Angeles has heard things about this theatre. Yes, it is bourgeoisie, but...

When I went to see "Cinema Paradiso: The Director's Cut" and "Amadeus: The Director's Cut", I *wanted* to be in the hushed, black-box, child-free setting of the Arclight. It was well worth it. "Minority Report" in the Cinerama Dome was something I'll remember forever.

With special series featuring admission to a film and a discussion with a key player like a director, writer or actor, it brings the film school to the movie theatre. A refreshing idea.

It's not a theatre for every day, (Unless, of course, you've got $$$ like an "S" name: _pielberg, _oderbergh) but if a Director's Cut comes along, of a movie you worship--go for it. If "Citizen Kane" rolls, you can bet I'll be there.

It kind of puts the fun back in moviegoing, which had become slightly homogenized.

  • Pros: Great atmosphere, Gr8 parking, restrms, Cafe, Bar, Giftshop
  • Cons: Overpriced concession, $14 bucks a pop?!

Citysearch Editorial Review

by Mar Yvette at Citysearch

It's hard to miss this eye-catching cinematic landmark just west of Sunset and Vine. Home to the Cinerama Dome--the geodesic-shaped theater originally built in 1963--this multiplex has all the modern amenities moviegoers have come to expect. Reserved seating? No problem. Pick your seats ahead of time, print the tickets and forget about waiting in line. (Although you can kick it old school and buy tickets directly at the "departure board" if that's your thing.) Comfortable seats? You bet. The plush recliners offer three extra inches of seating space compared to other theaters and the adjustable armrests allow you to cozy up next to your partner. (If you want to, that is.) Gourmet concessions? Absolutely. Choose from popcorn with (real) butter, fresh-made caramel corn, apple-sage chicken sausages and plenty of candy. There's also an onsite restaurant and bar (which, incidentally, provides cocktails for the special 21+ screenings) and a cool gift shop. On weekend nights there's a coffee and tea stand where guests can grab a hot drink and Susina cookie before the show. Once you're in, get ready for the ushers to guide you to your seat and introduce each screening with a short speech.

Best Cinema in Town

by vivaciousdivah at Citysearch

The Arc Light cinemas are the best in L.A. especially in Hollywood. I just love the area because its surrounded by all these architecturally splendid buildings and great eateries like Club Sushi. I think a salmon roll and a ticket to see the Fast and the Furious may be the highlight of my weekend.

Best Movie Experience

by samsooni at Citysearch

Arclight offers the best movie-watching experience for any movie-buff. Though the $12 and up ticket prices are a little steep, they're totally worth it for reserved plush comfortable seats, a clean theater, a great choice of movies, and a fantastic projection system. I come here to watch the big blockbuster movies for the most cinematic experience. I'm going to watch Fast and Furious here soon. Just look for the giant sphere dome near Amoeba music and Club Sushi and you'll find the popular and suave Arclight theater.

  • Pros: theater, movies
  • Cons: prices

Great Movie Theatre for a DATE

by 3cp at Citysearch

At first I was a little skeptic of paying higher prices for assigned seating...but I most admit it's never been a problem getting into the movie that I want! It's definitely a movie to take a "first" date...
