Classic Cinema Revival
Feeling nostalgic? LA has a thriving classic film scene. Relive the golden age of Hollywood at restored theaters, or catch a midnight showing of a cult classic. Just remember, your outfit should probably involve high-waisted pants and a questionable amount of eyeliner.
Where to Find Your Flicks
- Theatrical Releases: This is the classic way to see a movie. Big screens, surround sound, and the shared experience of gasping, laughing, or crying with strangers.
- Outdoor Screenings: LA loves an outdoor movie. From rooftop screenings to beachside showings, there's no shortage of options to soak up some sun (or stars) while watching a film.
- Streaming Services: If you prefer the comfort of your own home (or, let's be honest, your couch), there's a plethora of streaming services to choose from. Just be warned: you might find yourself binge-watching instead of sleeping.
How to...
- How to avoid spoilers: Unplug from social media, avoid crowded places, and talk to your friends about the weather instead of the movie.
- How to choose a movie: Check reviews, read synopses, or simply pick based on the poster. If all else fails, flip a coin.
- How to survive a crowded theater: Arrive early, choose a good seat, and bring snacks (or sneak them in).
- How to find cheap tickets: Look for student discounts, matinee prices, or online deals.
- How to impress your date with your movie knowledge: Learn some obscure film facts, quote classic lines, and pretend you've seen everything ever made.
