NEW BEVERLY CINEMA in LOS ANGELES
————————————————–
If you consider yourself a true lover of cinema, we have the theatre you need to visit while you are in Los Angeles. While we are the epicenter of all things cinema with great 3D theatres and the best surround sound experiences, Glitterati Tours of Beverly Hills picks one of the special places to see a film on a much smaller scale.
New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles
Tucked into a small venue on Beverly Boulevard you will find The New Beverly Cinema. The theatre was built in the 1920’s and brings back the nostalgia of the small town movie nightlife. Showing only a few films at a time, it brings the cozy feel back to the saturated and commercialized big cinema venues we see all over our city today. Having been recently brought back to life by investor-turned-owner Quentin Tarantino, it is a must see stop for all movie buffs.
As you can imagine with a famed director in charge there is never a shortage of good films. Of course there are showings of Tarantino’s films, but there is also a great line-up of Hollywood classics as well as cult hit films that may surprise you. One of the best hooks of the theatre? Everything is shown on 35mm film. Nothing says old Hollywood like a classic film projector being run by an actual projectionist. Technological advances are great, but there is something to be said about the beauty of a film seen in its classic state.
Originally a house, the New Beverly Cinema has been everything from a candy factory & beer parlor, to a celebrity nightclub, to a Jewish Community Center! In the late 1970’s Sherman Torgan found the cinema as a bleak adult theatre, returned it to it’s purpose of a true theatre, and began rebuilding a piece of Hollywood history. Flash forward to present day with Tarantino’s jumping on board to help continue the legacy and you have one beautiful, preserved theatre waiting for you to come visit.
Stop in, grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy some of the best films made. To see a listing of their current showings you can check out their website at New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles.
