Gardena Cinema — Attraction in Gardena

Such a classic place to watch a movie. It has the flavor of the old cinemas with a large screen and tons of seats. I hope the owners keep this place a live. The movies they have are exactly the same movies as the other cinemas but the prices are much cheaper and affordable. They have Mondays at $5.00 dollars!! Which us unheard and Tuesdays the movies are subtitle in Spanish. The popcorn is not great but overall we love this place. It is family owned and we love supporting this theather instead of the big AMC or other chains; I encourage you to do the same to keep the past alive for our children who are now SO confused of their roots and have no sense of real community. Our kid's community is now through social media so many do not know a place where they belong. Old fashion theaters like this could give them a flavor of what it is to support real community icons.

I came for the Gardena Picture Show to see [wonderfully curated and presented] local short films and will definitely be returning. Heartened to be part of such a great crowd — the event vibes were great🍿

Cheers to Judy Kim for supporting local artists at this historic venue, and everyone who contributed to the Gardena Picture Show.

(The vintage seats inside were a bit snug around the hips for me—noting as a heads up for folks with bigger bodies, the seats are about the width of a standard airplane-seat and have stationary arm...

I came to this theater to enjoy Wakanda Forever, 9:45pm showing. It was a late showing so there was approx 9 people but i have to say it was rather eerie. I kept thinking something was going to tap me on the shoulder. Anyway we got through the movie but my biggest gripe was the concessions. My friends ordered 2 popcorns that tasted like they were from days ago and a hot dog that wasn't edible. I didn't smell the scent of popcorn when I came in so I almost told them not to buy it but, they did it anyway and was very disappointed. The soda and candy were the only thing good. I do have to say that the young lady who was at the ticket booth, who sold us the tickets, who tore the tickets and sold us concessions😂 as well was very pleasant. Kudos to her🙌🏾which is why this got 3 stars. Must do better with the concessions or...
