Highland Theatres — Local services in Los Angeles

This is a nice little theatre. I visited here for the first time yesterday. My friend and I saw the new Wonder Woman film. The bathrooms are claustrophobia-inducing, and the floors were disgustingly sticky so I deducted a star. The rest of the place was relatively clean. I noticed there weren't any armrests attached to the seats. Or maybe I just couldn't find them... And the best part: if you come before 6pm, adult tickets are 6.50 each. I ended up paying about 15 bucks (plus tax and all that) for my friend and I. We usually never get any concession snacks, so I can't speak for the prices. The theatre is located in an area with a lot of restaurants (just a few blocks away, heading north), so we ended up just going to a little Latin American food joint and eating outside before the movie. We also came by bus, so I can't speak for parking in the area. Anyway, I enjoyed my experience there minus the sticky floors. Totally recommended for a date with a friend/honeyboo or a family on a...

The Highland (Park) Theatre is a nice place to sit and watch a movie. This is especially true on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because it's "Family Night" - $5 for all films, regardless of rating, all day. The seats are comfortable, the screen is in good condition, and the A/C is good (if a little on the warm side). The concessions are generally priced out of the range that I want to pay, but they're not exorbitantly expensive. Outside of the Highland Park Independent Film Festival, the Highland Theatre primarily plays major market films, mostly blockbusters.

The one thing I've consistently noticed about this theatre is that the audience tends to be as equally concerned with their snacks as it is the film. There's frequent getting up and heading out to the lobby as well as fairly vigorous chewing, passing, and slurping of snacks. This is reasonably distracting overall - so, if you really want to immerse yourself in a film, you may want to pick...

The Highland Theater is the closest thing to a time machine we'll get in LA. No other theater quite captures the sights and smells of a night spent at the movies as a kid in the 90s like this place. What makes this even better as an adult is having that nostalgic feeling and then being able to hit up one of the many bars in the area before or after the movie.

Treat yourself to a sketchy hotdog or nachos loaded with questionable "cheese." Order popcorn and add all the liquid butter and "flavors" your heart desires. Want cheese popcorn? There's a shaker for that. Want caramel flavor? There's a shaker for that. Is it good for you, probably not but it tastes good and that's all that matters.

Like everyone else said, if you want a fancy theater, this isn't the place for you. However, the prices are unbeatable and the staff is friendly. Give it a shot with an open mind and I think it will quickly become a staple that holds a special place...
