Los Angeles is the city of movies, and no movie house is more popular with locals of all ages than Arclight Cinemas .

Once inside, all of the cinema chairs are three inches wider than current megaplex standards, with six inches more legroom. While all of the theater's 14 screens ...

agreed. the best movie theater.: Really good seating, with lots of room, armrests that can be moved up for closer snuggling with your honey, caramel popcorn, 21-and-over movie showings where you can take a drink from the bar into the theater with you, really good sound and showing quality. The joys of assigned seatings, and being able to order really good seats at 4pm and show up 5 minutes before it starts for your really-good seats. :o)

No Coke Commercials!: If you live in LA and appreciate movies, there is simply no better choice of movie theaters. Arclight is new, large, has stadium seating, digital projection/sound, etc. It is conveniently located in Hollywood and has a huge parking lot. Arclight has the Cinerama Dome for A-level movies; they typically display lots of props and costumes from at least one movie playing there. Over the last few years, I have nearly completely shifted all of my movie ticket purchases to the Arclight. Arclight has an affinity points system, so it's worth signing up for the freebies. The restaurant and gift/book store are OK for killing time before/after a movie but I wouldn't go there otherwise. AND...Special age 21 plus screenings with alcohol but without kids.

Best movie theater: First off, the bathrooms are immaculate. Then, no advertisements. They have huge comfy seats. Seating is pre-assigned. You can buy online and not have to hurry because you already know where are sitting. Decent cafe and bar. The bookstore is fun to browse.

In Short Come early and browse through the gift shop, grab a bite in the cafe or sip a cocktail at the bar. There's no need to rush, because Arclight provides reserved seating. And, mind you, these aren't ordinary seats--plush recliners offer three extra inches of seating space, super-wide armrests and plenty of legroom. Suited ushers guide you to your seat and introduce each screening with ...
