Vista Theater

Vista Theater ranks 4th on the list of best movie theaters in Los Angeles. The historic Vista Theater, which features giant Art Deco light fixtures, kitschy Egyptian-themed wall details, and a lovely manager, Victor Martinez, who dresses up for every opening, plays movies on actual film reels (no digital here) (think: Willy Wonka for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Joker for The Dark Knight, etc.). The theater isn't luxurious (though the leg room is impressive), but it has character and is within walking distance of Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and East Hollywood, making it an especially appealing option for Eastsiders.

When in San Diego, don't pass up the opportunity to visit the restored all Digital Village Theatres on Coronado Island. The late designer Joseph Musil, who was responsible for the sensational restoration of the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood among other things, spent ten years and three million dollars creating the Village Theatres Atmospheric Interiors. With so many entertainment options these days, they are here to serve you and want to be your first choice for a movie theater.
