NUART THEATRE

11272 Santa Monica Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90025

Known as Los Angeles' home for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," the Nuart Theatre screens the cult classic every Saturday at midnight. As well the Nuart has midnight screenings on Friday nights of various fan-favorites including classics such as "The Goonies," "Office Space" and "Ghostbusters." Because of its fun, eclectic mix, L.A. Weekly claimed it had the “best midnight movies” in 2003. Upcoming midnight screenings include “Shaun of the Dead” and “Spice World.”

But besides great late-night choices, the theatre has a well-versed selection of current films (by and large independents) as well. Generally, each film plays for a single week because there is only one theatre.

Great for its independent charm, if you’re interested in seeing something different or need a break from your average Hollywood blockbuster, this is the place to go. There’s a reason the Los Angeles Times considers it L.A.’s premiere art house.

Operated under the Landmark Theatres franchise since 1974, the theatre holds a lot of history. But don’t be fooled by its aging exterior. The theatre was extensively renovated in June 2006. And as an extra bonus tickets are only $9.50!
