If you have never seen the movie with the live show at the same time you have no idea what you are missing. The Nuart Theatre is a fairly well-known theatre on Santa Monica Boulevard. Movies generally play here in 1- or 2-week runs, and they run the gamut from "Indie" Hollywood films to obscure foreign films to documentaries. Not many arthouse/single-theater cinemas in Los Angeles are. I also often attend the Friday Night midnight films quite often. Also check out the video store next door. As a side-effect, the folks who work there are elitist, indifferent jackas*es to a degree I've not seen many placesOnly place to see many of the finest cinematic achievements not plugged by the greedy giants in movie distribution. Appropriately situated next to Cinefile, a great indie video store, this theatre offers fresh movie choices that show for just a week. Also check out the video store next door. I watched "Orlando" here on the big screen and could not believe it. Landmark 11272 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA contact + info . The theatre is not big on amenities or style, but certainly more than makes up for it with its taste in films.In addition to what others have said, I'd like to add that the Nu-Art is THX certified. The only drawback is that these first run films run only forThank the heavens for the Nuart. It's also wonderful to find a theater that plays documentaries.
What Los Angeles lacks in bookstores and coffeeshops it certainly makes up for in movie theaters and video stores. If you've been to or used The weekend midnight Rocky Horror Picture Show draws many devotees and has a line of regulars outside that literally wraps around the block. From Fellini and Polanski to George Romero to John Waters, nothing is above--or below--NuartThank the heavens for the Nuart. Nuart Theatre 11272 Santa Monica Boulevard just west of the 405 Freeway West Los Angeles, CA 90025 (310) 473-8530.
The staff is eclectic, but not anywhere as eclectic as the films. Not that there's anything wrong with those, but it's nice to get away from the mainstream every once in a while.I have gone to the Saturday Night ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW here atleast 5 times already. Movie showtimes for Nuart Theatre are not available. I drive by and see the lines there all the time and now have experienced what it's all about. Warning, you do have to find your own parking.Nice, full sized theater and a refreshing change from the tiny, shopping mall multi-plexes that crank out formulaic Hollywood blockbusters.
