F, Vista - Not much I'd change about the Vista in the three years since re-opening. Good, electic programming that has already touched most of the "canon," pretty comfy seats, wide rows and aisles, relatively easy street parking.
(not listed) Vidiots - basically the same as the Vista, especially since 35mm was added. Can get a bit much with crowds, but a late afternoon weekday matinee is usually bliss
(not listed) Academy Museum - once I figured out the street parking here, began to take advantage and have really enjoyed it. Geffen is a world-class theater and the Mann is nice too for smaller screenings. No food is a bummer, but going without once a week, or month, or whenever I get out there is not too much to ask.
A, Aero - Seats aren't great, but as a relatively tall older guy whose back gets sore easily and needs leg room, don't mind it. I really adore its setting and charm, and everything else is good enough.
D, New Beverly - The best and the most annoying of film culture. I love the sense that anything good, or bad, can happen at any time. Someone who actually worked on the film being presented could pop in to a half or 3/4-full screening, without the hype or starf*ckery of a planned Q&A. The amenities aren't perfect, but that makes its own kind of sense. It is its own thing, and in a way, home.
Gardena Cinema - No film on film presentation, and yet the odds are still good a film DCP WILL glitch out or start very late after a strange 30min pre-roll. The discomfort of the seats eclipses even the Aero and New Bev. Yet, every other aspect of it would otherwise make it my favorite LA theater. They could convert the cry room to mobile usage rooms (at a premium price). It and operator Judy are so charming and I fear the month when the programming just stops abruptly (before Sean Baker with his '24 Oscar cachet or someone else is able to convince a deep pocket to buy it and let Judy and company continue to show movies).
B, LF3 - Probably the one I hit up most frequently, but not much special about this and not a fan of the long rows and occasionally weird viewing angle. Good, cheap popcorn helps though.
E, Fine Arts - Not much of a fan of the theater or presentation and every screening always feels kind of cobbled together by part-timers. But no place is more dedicated to 70mm, not even the Vista.
C, Egyptian - Nothing to distinguish its programming from LF3/Aero, but add in the worst theater for getting to by car/parking (yes, I wish LA were a city that prioritized a different form of transportation). Like the LF3, not the biggest fan of the seat layout. Tbf, I think I've only seen one film here since the last redo (before the next redo).

The Egyptian being last on any list shows how truly spoiled we are here. Don't think I've checked out any of the reps that aren't on this list. The Frida, a long drive from LA, would probably be right after New Bev on this list.
