Landmark's Nuart Theatre — Attraction in Los Angeles

In the bustling heart of West LA, tucked away on Santa Monica Blvd., the Nuart Theater stands as a cinematic haven with a charming facade that sends me back to the bygone era of classic cinema. Its exterior, adorned with vintage marquee lights, beckons travelers to step into a world where time slows down.

Entering through the doors, the aroma of freshly popped popcorn envelops you, setting the tone for a night of cinematic delight. The staff, exuding warmth and friendliness, make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. We grabbed some popcorn, drinks, and a pack of jujubes and were off.

Inside, the Nuart Theater surprises with its quiet intimacy. The hushed atmosphere adds to the allure, transporting you to a place where the magic of film takes center stage. We were among a handful of patrons, creating an almost private screening experience in the massive auditorium.

Our chosen film, 'Society of the Snow,' unfolded on the large silver screen with captivating brilliance, earning a solid 10/10. Post-film, we took it upon ourselves to tidy up what little mess we made, a small gesture of appreciation for the staff.

We parked just behind the theater on a residential street, and while I felt relatively safe during the late night walk, I can understand a small group of individuals having their reservations, but there was also parking on Sawtelle, which is a more brightly lit and busier street. Overall, the Nuart Theater is a cinematic gem that goes beyond screening movies; it crafts an immersive journey, leaving you overwhelmingly pleased with this hidden...

We love love the Nuart Theater. It is now owned by Landmark. The entire movie house has been remolded, but keeping the great neon on the outside.

It is a one screen theater, thank goodness and it is so comfortable.

They show art films, Indie films, older films and they are famous for their 11:00 pm showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show which is the most fun you will ever have at a theater. The audience dances and sings the songs, people dress up as their favorite character and they have a cast of actors who are on the aisles and the stage acting out the parts and just saying the most funny things. Some people go there a lot. This was our first time and we had so much fun. Do not take children unless you don't mind dirty language and sexual jokes. I took my grandson and he loved it. He is old enough to know what he is not allowed to repeat and he was welcomed by everyone. The people that go are super nice.

The theater itself has a lovely lobby, great snacks and really nice staff. The place is very clean and as I said remolded. The seats are great. All new and they recline a bit. Soft and with a cup holder.

They have a great choice of movies so go there and have fun. Parking is on the street or there is a lot near by. I got there early enough to just grab a free street...

Yo so the curation of films here is second to none in Los Angeles and I mean that, the folks programming this theater are brilliant. That said I have never had a more uncomfortable viewing experience in my life; the chairs in this this theater seem to have been designed by some kind of sadistic cinema misanthrope with the idea that intellectual films might best viewed in some kind of catholic flesh mortification ritual. I’ve been fortunate enough to see films on four continents in nearly every environment imaginable and this is, by a country mile, the most physically uncomfortable theater I’ve ever been to. I am not exaggerating when I say I would have rather watched this film in the middle of packed flight full of children. It’s upsetting because they show so many things I’d love to see on the big screen but my entire lower body is numb after two hours. Hard...
