ARCLIGHT CINEMAS

6360 W. Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA

With the slogan “where movie-lovers belong,” the 14-theater cineplex really caters to its audience.

You can always expect to find a great variety of films being shown because the theater genuinely tries to have a mix of blockbusters, independent, foreign, and retrospective films.

Each auditorium features all-reserved seating so there is no need to rush into the theater to save seats. And tickets can be purchased just as easily online, over the phone or at automated kiosks as waiting in line at the box office.

As well, if you want the highest quality in picture and sound then Arclight is the place to be. Each theater is designed to exceed THX standards and all screens are curved to maximize peripheral view and minimize projection distortion. In addition, each theater uses a Kinoton FP50D 35mm projector. Arclight is one of only a handful of theaters in the U.S. that uses this German import. The projectors include features that allow the film to run more smoothly and appear on the screen in a better light.

And of course there’s The Dome, which was built in 1963 and seats over 800 people. The screen curves 126 degrees and stands 32 by 86 feet wide.

But there is a price to being elitist. Ticket prices range between $11 (non-peak) and $14 (peak).

For those who would rather stay inside, you can check out the Arclight Cafe/Bar conveniently located within the venue. The full table service restaurant offers a nice and casual menu general enough to please anyone. And to make sure you don't miss any previews, waiters write your movie time on the table.
