Landmark's Nuart Theatre

Had a great time watching "Misericordia" here followed by a Q&A with writer/director Alain Guiraudie. Beautiful, vintage marquee out front. Nice selection of theater-level food & snacks (including a vegetarian impossible bratwurst). Wine and draft beer are also available. Staff are terrific. The seats were large and comfortable and semi-reclined. The one screen in the theater is suitably large, wide and bright. Plenty of street parking in the surrounding blocks & an assortment of nearby restaurants and cafes if you want to get something before or after your show. All in all, a great theater and cultural asset where you can catch more esoteric indie film fare. Highly recommend.

This is my favorite theater in LA. Known for it’s weekly Rocky Horror showing, this theater also offers a unique selection of films typically not found in more commercial theaters. I especially enjoy their Cine Insomnia series, where they show an assortment of films ranging from anime to cult classics during later hours. Overall a unique theater and experience I highly recommended!

very good and neat theater. the vibe is excellent. the chairs are a bit interesting tho. they can slide but it’s a tiny bit finicky. if you sit upright, they move too easily; if you sit a bit deeper in, there is then no lumbar support… also there’s no dedicated parking. there is some street parking available

Great place to see rare and weird movies that you won’t see anywhere else. They’ve recently had David Lynch and Jim Jarmusch months. Great Rocky Horror Picture Show showings by Sins O’ the Flesh shadow cast! Also, shares a wall with Cinefile Video where the rent physical media and specialize in cult film. ALL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

In the bustling heart of West LA, tucked away on Santa Monica Blvd., the Nuart Theater stands as a cinematic haven with a charming facade that sends me back to the bygone era of classic cinema. Its exterior, adorned with vintage marquee lights, beckons travelers to step into a world where time slows down. Entering through the doors, the aroma of freshly popped popcorn envelops you, setting the tone for a night of cinematic delight. The staff, exuding warmth and friendliness, make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. We grabbed some popcorn, drinks, and a pack of jujubes and were off. Inside, the Nuart Theater surprises with its quiet intimacy. The hushed atmosphere adds to the allure, transporting you to a place where the magic of film takes center stage. We were among a handful of patrons, creating an almost private screening experience in the massive auditorium. Our chosen film, 'Society of the Snow,' unfolded on the large silver screen with captivating brilliance, earning a solid 10/10. Post-film, we took it upon ourselves to tidy up what little mess we made, a small gesture of appreciation for the staff. We parked just behind the theater on a residential street, and while I felt relatively safe during the late night walk, I can understand a small group of individuals having their reservations, but there was also parking on Sawtelle, which is a more brightly lit and busier street. Overall, the Nuart Theater is a cinematic gem that goes beyond screening movies; it crafts an immersive journey, leaving you overwhelmingly pleased with this hidden treasure of West LA.

We love love the Nuart Theater. It is now owned by Landmark. The entire movie house has been remolded, but keeping the great neon on the outside. It is a one screen theater, thank goodness and it is so comfortable. They show art films, Indie films, older films and they are famous for their 11:00 pm showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show which is the most fun you will ever have at a theater. The audience dances and sings the songs, people dress up as their favorite character and they have a cast of actors who are on the aisles and the stage acting out the parts and just saying the most funny things. Some people go there a lot. This was our first time and we had so much fun. Do not take children unless you don't mind dirty language and sexual jokes. I took my grandson and he loved it. He is old enough to know what he is not allowed to repeat and he was welcomed by everyone. The people that go are super nice. The theater itself has a lovely lobby, great snacks and really nice staff. The place is very clean and as I said remolded. The seats are great. All new and they recline a bit. Soft and with a cup holder. They have a great choice of movies so go there and have fun. Parking is on the street or there is a lot near by. I got there early enough to just grab a free street spot--mind the signs.

had a great experience watching frankenstein tonight. affordable tickets, comfy seats, tasty popcorn and excellent image/sound quality. thanks nuart theatre, will definitely be coming back!

Love old cinema theaters and this one did not disappoint. Saw Sirat here. The place is sweet. Seats are so comfortable with plenty of leg room.

After literally DECADES of driving by the Nuart and seeing people lined up for the midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show we finally made it! I don't go to the movies a lot because all the 1-2 screen theaters I like to patronize have closed and keep closing so any chance I get to see a picture at an independent theater like the Nuart or Aero I'm in! Given that it was past 11pm, we easily found free parking in a city lot a short 2 blocks away which is so rare these days.... both the finding close parking and it being gratis. Getting in was hassle free because we had arrived a bit closer to the start time so the line of people waiting to enter had already subsided. The restrooms were clean and the lines at the fancy concession stand were also short. The concession stand really impressed me. There area all types of snacks and beverages including a good variety of beer and wine. The seats are hit and miss and by that I mean you're either going to love them or hate them because they aren't the traditional reclining seats. They're velvet not vinyl and "sort of" recline. If you're tall you're going to love all the leg room. I would return to the Nuart to watch a movie, but probably not for the Rocky Horror Picture show because while I appreciate that a whole new generation is carrying on the cult following for this quirky film, I much prefer the wittier short call backs of yesteryear to the long drawn out dialogues of the newer generation. May the Nuart live long and prosper!

I have time to write a review for The Nuart. I love all theaters really and Nuart is just one of those theaters that etch a memory. I've seen Julia Ducournau's Raw, Human Centipede 2, Wet Hot American Summer, Enter The Void, and others. Every one of those screenings have visuals in my mind I can play over and over. Wonderful times. I want to talk about my most RECENT experience. Opening weekend, Saturday night for GDT's FRANKENSTEIN 35mm. Packed house. Amazing popcorn. Good vibes. No bullshit. Great customer service! But let's talk about seats D1, and D2....my seats. That are directly under a fucking air conditioning vent. I'm a dude and normally I can take SOME cold weather but my god I haven't put my arms in my shirt in a long time. For its 2 and half hour running time that cold ass air was blasting right at me. Has this been anyone else's experience? Have people complained about this? This is in no way knocking the theater but my god I'll never ever forget watching that beautiful film and being tortured by 60 degree fan weather coming down onto me That being said...I'm watching WAKE UP DEAD MAN there this weekend and I am NOT sitting in that fucking section no way.

PARKING: Parked at a small lot and walked five minutes over. There is street parking but I get too nervous. SEATING: The seating is very funny. It's like a recliner but not fully. You have to keep the weight on it or it'll snap back into the original position but I didn't mind it. I just got scared everytime I leaned back and the seat leaned with me. Very comfy regardless though! SERVICE: There was only one employee and he was very nice! Quick and prompt and helped with all my questions. FOOD/SCREEN: Single screen theater and it's pretty cozy! Lots of seating! The popcorn was standard but popcorn always is amazing during a movie!! Had a small drink and it was from one of those free style machines. OVERALL: Cute theater and I can't wait to go back to watch other movies here!

Had a fantastic time watching a couple of movies here. Customer service was excellent and the audience was quiet throughout both movies. Excited to return. Word to the wise: sign up for the Landmark loyalty program for a few discount perks

Went to the Nuart theater in west LA with my girlfriend and 3 other people from her meetup group to see the rocky horror picture show. Although I have seen it in theaters before this was my first experience with a shadow cast. The Nuart is a fairly small theater, right on Santa Monica Blvd and just a few hundred feet off the 405 freeway. Parking can be challenging, there is some street parking as well as a few pay lots in the area. The the seats manually recline if you slide the seat cushion forward while pressing back on the backrest. The snack bar serves beer and wine along with traditional movie snacks. Which is nice if you want an adult beverage to enjoy while you're watching the movie. The rocky horror cult classic is a must experience in a theater show.

Went last night to see a late night showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show with a shadow cast. While I enjoy the movie (I have it on DVD) this is my first time seeing it in a theater along with a shadow cast. It's something to be desired TBH. The theater itself was on a smaller scale than I'm used to and the seats had good cushioning but would rock as opposed to recline without intention. We didn't purchase any concessions but they did have some alcohol available for those who want it. The rest of my group found the event interesting Would we be back? Probably not. Maybe on a special occasion or event tho. Who knows?

this is a cute theater near me. it's nice to see these small theaters still booming. it has a very nostalgic feel to it, and everything was reasonably priced. there's free parking in the neighborhoods if you keep driving around the theater. would definitely recommend!

This is the 3rd time i am reaching out to you to try and resolve an issue. I am a long-time Landmark patron. I purchased 4 tickets total for the movie, The Teacher in Los Angeles for the Nuart . I bought 2 tickets for the April 18, 7:00 PM show and 2 for the April 19, 7:00 PM show. I tried returning the two tickets for the April 19 show, but the website gave me an error message, and the return never went through. Nor did I get a refund, so I gave my tickets to my friend, but your usher told her that the tickets have been refunded. Which is not accurate, as I have not received a refund. I have screenshots to provide to you to prove my case. Please issue a refund ASAP.

I had passed Nuart Theatre a few times without realizing it existed until I went there for a limited-viewing documentary. It's a small, single-screen theater that's clean and well-maintained. The seats were standard but comfortable, clean, and had a nice recline. Overall, I had a great experience!

Always a good nostalgic time at the Nuart. Just watched "Obsessed with Light" , great Documentary... Andy was running things and being the master of ceremonies, thanks Andy. Today is Xmas Eve 2024, bit will also be Playing Xmas and Thursday. Also brewski's and popcorn are delish Cheers

Service, decor, theater experience . I expect to return here often. Indie films are their specialty.

Really wanted to see Problemista, but it was a very limited release and had come out a while ago. However, Nuart was still playing it so I grabbed tickets (~$16 bought in-person). The theater is so cute from the outside and just as cute on the inside! Definitely a great theater for cinephiles as all the movies that were advertised to be showing soon at the theater are i die flicks. The movie attendant who helped us buy tickets and was also doing concessions was very nice. Theater itself was big and spacious and very clean, and the chairs are comfy! Not a modern reclining chair, but still reclines (when you lay back instead of when you push a button). I had a great experience and will come again! note: we parked across the street where it was free because it was Sunday - as far as I know, there's no parking lot specifically for the theater.

4+ and old school movie theater that usually plays art house films that you typically can't see at a lot of other places, which is really great. I lived in the area for so long and I can't believe this was my first time ever coming to this theater. The folks here are super friendly and organized. I think there's only one theater in this entire building, but they do choose some really interesting films. I came here to watch "Farewell My Concubine". The seats in the theater are a little uncomfortable. They slide and recline when you don't want them to slide a little bit. It's not a huge big deal though. Oh, and I'm not sure if I was hungry that day or what, but I really loved the popcorn here. It tasted really delicious that day. Really fresh and the salty buttery flavors came through. Definitely a fun place to watch films and a great neighborhood to grab food before or after. I would recommend, especially if they were screening a film that you were interested, which I would assume wouldn't be playing at a lot of other places.

Nuart is a clean and modern single-screen theater. Street parking only. Great selection of concessions. They also offer wine, beer, and seltzers. The staff was friendly and helpful. Excited to come back! Tip: make sure to follow them on IG for updates on upcoming movies and special events.

Amazing place! Great customer service and the vibes are great! Greta selection and it was so fun!!

One of the best places to see movies in Lod Angeles. Been going here since i moved in 1976. Many great and not so great memories.. "Pink Flamingos" "Rocky Horror Picture Show" ..

I went to the Nuart Theatre today for the first time ever. I saw The Sweet East. The theater itself is nice. I like the plush seats, but am not a fan of their reclining feature. The screen looked fine, but I wish it were a bit bigger for a theater of it's size. I thought the sound quality in the theater was okay. The lobby is nice and there appears to be ample concessions.

Rocky Horror Picture Show was such a fun experience! Love this theater and the comedy troupe who puts on the show!!

I have been frequenting this movie theater for years because they specialize in art-house, independent, foreign and cult film! We need more theater like this in Los Angeles (aren't we suppose to love movies in this city?) with one screen and an interesting selection of movies. I have been here to midnight shows (always a good experience) and also in the afternoon/evening times. They have updated it at some point. I never had an issue here with the screen, the sound or the seating. The audience is mostly OK, but even here you'll find rude people from time to time who leave a lot of trash after the movie ends. Can't you pick up after yoursleves, folks, did you grow up with servants or what? Parking - leave early to hunt for a spot on the streets around, that would be my #1 tip. Defintely on my top 5 of LA movie theaters!

Certain places are iconic and then there are places that are iconic institutions. One such place is the Nuart Theatre and an absolute must visit in Los Angeles. Whether you're checking out first-run screenings for exclusive LA film runs, revivals or marvelous Midnight Screenings, The Nuart continues to stand the rest of time. Whether buying tickets online or walking up, visiting the Nuart is an absolute pilgrimage every film lover should undertake and experience. I've been visiting the theatre on and off for 20 years. There is nothing more exhilarating than checking out these fantastic film grounds to enjoy the latest and/or the great genres of filmmaking. I've seen documentaries, foreign films, midnight movies and the most innovative, independent cinema here. Honestly when visiting, it's an entertaining, exciting experience and I feel truly blessed every time going. Located right off the 405 freeway, it's easily accessible and there is plenty of street parking. Just make sure to double check the signs and the nearby parking lots. There are plenty of places to visit before/after, which makes it an even more ideal place to appreciate. Thank you Nuart for always being a fantastic film sanctuary and a safe haven for film lovers of the world to unite!

This is a small theater with a single screen. It's an older theater but looks like it's been renovated. They had a pretty extensive concession stand. Definitely get the popcorn! Don't know what they do to make it so special compared to other regular franchise theaters, but their popcorn was extra tasty...buttery, salty, crunchy, delicious! Sat in the back and still had an unobstructed view of the screen. The seats recline a little but the chairs aren't very comfortable, definitely noticeably so if you're watching a longer movie. Otherwise, it's a nice and simple no-frills art house theater playing some of good indie films, foreign movies, and older classics.

Many thanks and applause to the spectacular cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show Every cast member gave their all and made this a truly unforgettable experience They sell little kits so the audience can participate if they like ($5) Theatre sells beer/ wine and standard movie snacks (popcorn, candy) This show is NOT for prudes. Anyone who is easily offended need not attend. If you're up (and by up I mean awake- doors at 11) for a fun, raunchy, entertaining activity in LA on a Saturday night, this is it!! *Don't forget to bring a tip for the volunteer cast

I was a virgin. Went last Saturday to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday and surprised her with my modern-day take on a Dr. Frank - N - Furter. I tried to dress her up and applied all the make-up myself, 1st time ever touching the stuff, to make her look like Columbia w/o it being entirely noticeable. We had a blast this night and look forward to another night at the Nuart Theatre.

This place should always be full! Highly recommend!! I went here on a whim to see a movie I knew nothing about, and it was a great experience! $16 ticket, there's food, drinks (including alcoholic). The place is clean, it also has a lounge in the front. The staff tonight was very polite and diligent. The theatre was pristine, and clean. There was a viewing that had just let out, the staff went in, and it was ready pretty quick they were out and it was ready. I liked the vibe and everything about it. This is definitely going to be on my "usual" list.

Theater is friendly which is pretty easy to do because I feel a lot of the patrons are regulars and there often isn't a lot of us. They've remodeled which is nice as well. It's a little out of the way for me but they often are showing features that aren't available elsewhere.

I came to this theatre for a show and was pleasantly surprised. The seats were very comfortable. I liked that they were talk so you could not see if someone was sitting in front of you. I felt like there was privacy. I was also impressed with the concession stands! They had lots of snack options and drink options (alcoholic beverages too). I would definitely come again for another show.

Awesome theater. It's owned by Landmark however it has retained its arthouse focus. MOVIES: They show indie flicks and classics. They also have various events (Rocky Horror Picture Show every week; Q & A). Personally, I saw the Oscar nominated shorts here. THEATER: Only one theater but it's large. The seats are surprisingly comfortable with ample leg room. CONCESSIONS: Great. They serve booze (with lots of options incl. craft beer and White Claw). Various snacks for sale. They also have an awesome food menu with vegan options. My expectations were rather low but I was pleasantly surprised by the Beyond Meat vegan sausage hot dog. It was delicious (Beyond sausages always are) however they added an amazing pretzel bun which took it to the next level. They also have a ton of condiments to choose from. It was terrific. STAFF: Friendly.

I love the Nuart! It's my fav theater! ...I always have a great time. Indie Vibes, Indie Movies, Classics, I just love the atmosphere...very chill. I always go to 11:59pm show so we never have trouble with parking...everyone is always super nice, there's a cute little lobby...bathrooms are clean!! Food!!! that's my favorite part! Only theater where I find Veggie Dogs! So that's a super plus!!! Popcorn is delicious!!! They also serve beer & wine!! So that's another huge plus. There is a great selection of candy & cookies...I love it. It's super organized! So far I've seen "clueless", "the mummy" & "Raw" & im so looking forward to watch "Halloween II" this weekend. I really recommend this Theatre for a great Friday night!Movie, veggie dog, popcorn & my boyfriend honestly all I can ask for :)

We love the Nuart but we can't with the new seats. We just can't. They are so uncomfortable and go too far back and don't stay upright well.

OK so... I think this place has undergone some changes since I was last there and it's better than ever. The concessions now include some substantial food (mozzarella sticks, empanadas, mac & cheese bites and more!) and they have beer and wine available(!!). Also the seats seem new... updated with cup holders and not the older outdated mushy seats I remember. Went to a documentary screening that included a Q&A and the staff was excellent at handling the questions from a packed house. This one screen little gem has always boasted an outstanding selection of indie films and now you can get yourself an adult beverage and some real food while watching arty flicks. Also, the popcorn was outstanding. Love love love.

Great theater, which specializes in indie fare plus occasional classics. VERY comfy seating and plenty of leg room. How many theaters can you say that about? Concession stand has a mind numbing variety of treats, including the traditional popcorn/candy/sodas plus ice cream, wine, hot dogs, cookies, etc. Many times they have q&a with filmmakers etc. Staff are courteous and the screen projection quality is superb. A beloved Los Angeles film buff institution.

The Nuart is a Landmark chain theater, so they get great films, IMO. I was there to see the Captain, a German World War Two film, with an interesting Q and A with the director. Located on busy Santa Monica Blvd near the 405, parking is best in the city owned lots south of SM Blvd. Otherwise it's street metered parking, which can be tough. Uber or Lyft would be ideal. This place seats maybe 400 people with reasonably comfortable old faux leather seats. The flooring is concrete with no carpeting but I guess that makes it easier to clean up after a rowdy Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight screening! LOL. I found the staff to be both friendly and helpful. They let somebody in while they were still closed to use the restroom. There is one bench that seats 3 in front of the theater, otherwise you have to stand while waiting to get in. Prices are about average for LA tickets. I used MoviePass, which has online ticketing for the Nuart. You can reserve your ticket the same day as the show on your smartphone!

Cool art house movie theater that plays all those hard to find Indie films. It's not a huge mega plex type of theater but the seats are comfortable and there is a LOT of leg space in between your seat and the people in front of you. They also have a good selection of gourmet snacks and i believe i saw beer and wine. Also it is within walking distance to a bunch of great restaurants on Sawtelle. #winwin

There's a stench arising from the seats. A pretty large single theater, even so -- the outside box office is closed and forces you to buy tickets at the concession. But that places you in front of, face to face, with high-end snacks, in particular, designer chocolate and ice cream sandwiches...priced competitively. This is a plus. It's the only artsy-fartsy movie house in town showing Nyphomaniac, Vol 1. Wish it didn't, as I definitely won't be seeing Vol 2.

Great theatre. They have always played the best movies and now they have completely redone the theatre with comfortable seats and they have beer and wine.

Love this spot. I go here for all the midnight showings of movies...... Pretty big theather and right down the street from all the yummy Asian spots. JY

This theater is lovely, conveniently located just off the 405. It offers great titles, mostly Indie films and some classic movies (Rocky Horror, for example). There is a lobby area with comfy seating if you're early and a well stocked variety of concessions. Seating in the actual theater is quite comfy as well. We saw a debut film that had a Q&A with the film makers in the earlier showing, which is such a nice thing. On a Sunday evening, it only took us 30 minutes to get to the Nuart from Huntington Beach; street parking was shockingly easy at that time. We are grateful the Nuart is there. Super friendly staff running the place too :).

A true Los Angeles institution. I've been going to this place since I was a kid and I think it played a big part in making me the movie lover I am today. Being in high school and underage in Los Angeles really limits what you can do on a Friday night. So way back when, we would come here every Friday for their revival night. Often times we wouldn't even know what was playing, we'd just show up. That's how I saw such classics as Cannibal Holocaust, Cremaster 3, and The Apple. Movies which I will never forget. On top of their revival nights, they also host Rocky Horror Picture Show. That;s really a movie that needs to be seen in a theatre to be properly enjoyed. This was the first place I ever saw RHPS in person and will forever be my favorite. Finally, the Nuart is also a Landmark so it does show first run releases. They are always quite eclectic and movies you won't find at any other theatre, even Laemmle.

Leaving this review just to say they have the most sublime popcorn it's like every piece was covered in butter props to whoever was making that tonight (12/18) thank you

One of the few theaters that plays unique films. I love this movie theater and I wish there were more like it across the country. Whenever, I visit my family in LA, I have to see at least one movie here, because they play things I will never get to see back home.

Great old school theater. They always show vintage films and have great concessions. The only downside to this theater is the parking. You have to park on the street and may have to walk a block or two.

Best theatre in LA if you are a real fan of all types of films from any genre, nation or period. Especially watching a film the way you are supposed to: in a stand alone theatre without another film blasting through the walls of the cineplex. Great and kind staff and concessions, as well.

I've only been here 2x. I saw the Bill Cunningham documentary here and the Norman Lear one. Parking was easy this time around as we got very lucky. They do provide a map at their website on where the good parking areas are. I think they upgraded their seats from the last time I was there for the BC movie. The aisles here are not as wide as the VISTA but they are pretty wide. Prices for tix online for the NL movie were $11 each plus $1 each online fee so not bad. I didn't go to the snack counter so not sure how cheap or not the food was. They do a lot of Q&As here which is great. For the NL movie, Norman Lear came, a producer, and one of the filmmakers. They had a convo on stage and also took questions.

I most recently came here to catch the Frank Zappa doc and was pleasantly surprised by the renovations. It had been DECADES since I was last here and it's so good to see it not only still standing, but thriving. The staff were great and I liked all the interesting concession choices available, in food and drink (including alcohol). This is such a civilized, adult theater--I loved it! They have a lot of great programming coming up and I will be sure to visit more often in the future. STEPH JUDGEMENT: One of the best little independent theaters around.

Had a wonderful time at the Nuart last night! The staff was super nice and like others have mentioned, the popcorn was delicious. The theater itself is spacious and the seats are quite comfortable. As far as parking goes, I'm not sure if we just got lucky, but we arrived about an hour before the show started and there was ample street parking available. If you're looking for a great place to watch an indie film, you should definitely check this place out. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back!

In light of the recent gay teen suicides, I wanted to dedicate this next review to those lives lost. To Matthew Shepard, to Tyler Clementi, and to those other distraught teenagers, may your lives be lost for naught. Let me take you back to a time when I was just like those kids. When I was just as lost and alone as they were. When I was the weird kid with strange interests. Nuart Theatre to me is synonymous with high school and growing up. I came to so many midnight showings and Rocky Horror Picture Shows that I almost felt like a part of the community. Good times, good times. I always came dressed up in what looked like Halloween costumes, but to everyone else they seemed common-stay. I remember the first time I came here, the frenzied atmosphere was absolutely intoxicating. The excitement and humor of the people involved in the theater can be felt. Everyone is afraid of the unknown, but once you dive in, its quite interesting. The show is almost interactive, its definitely a fun time if your 16 and have nothing better to do but to indulge in what seems like deviant behavior. Its a cute little theatre and I would definitely like to come back again. I'm glad I had a place where it was okay for me to be a little bit different, and to revel in the fact that being a "freak" wasn't such a bad thing. Before this turns into an after school special, I'd just like to say one more thing. "Love is stronger than hate".....Whoops too late :)

Even though the Nuart is right down the street from me, I find myself forgetting to come here. I have no idea why! I came here the other night to see The Robber, and was reminded about how cool this theater is! The theater is bigger than you'd think by looking at the front of it, ticketing at the refreshments counter is friendly and the seats are all rock-y and comfy and new since they remodeled just a few years back. Plus, there were a couple of pitchers of ice water and plastic cups for all in the lobby. Nice! I'll be back for a Friday midnight movie, or maybe even the Rocky Horror Picture Show on a Saturday night : D.

I remember when most of the movie theaters in town were like this one. a single screen place with a kinda rundown homey feel. now everything is either a 2nd run shambles or a first run multiplex. but not the Nu Art. here you can see the artsy underground movies and cutting edge indies that play nowhere else. and don't forget the midnight screenings of Rocky Horror on Saturday nights. and if you want to eat Japanese food then there are some amazing places just south on Sawtelle.
