Ours is (and was before we were "we") The Castro, where we went to see "Rancho Notorious" (1952) last night - which was an entertaining hoot, much of it not intended (the "Murder, Hate, Vengeance" repetitious theme song sung by some hack) and a great vehicle to see (and attempt to understand) Marlena Dietrich.
Anyway, my first viewing at The Castro was "Planet of the Apes" in 1967 and I've seen hundreds of films there since, as has my wife. You get the Mighty Wulitzer, great popcorn, interesting film festivals, silents, silents with live bands (saw Bill Frisell doing Buster Keaton), 3D (saw "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" there in 3D and with incredible sound)... pretty much the whole kit and kaboodle without the mall mentality of multiplexes.
It's our local movie house and the only place we will go to see a film on the big screen anymore. It's an old, comfortable friend.
You have a similar joint?
