American Cinematheque

"We were let into a movie that we didn't have a ticket for and not told we were at the wrong theater for the film we did have a ticket for. I asked them why they didn't tell us and why they let us in one we didn't have a ticket for. The official response was: "For future reference, the event location is always listed on our website and in your ticket confirmation email. Best,The AC Team" So basically, they'll scan anything and not check so do what you will with that info!"

"Best "deal" in LA if you can get to any of their theaters/showings. I renewed in October and have already gotten my $$ worth in members-only screenings. This place is where a good portion of cinephiles hang. I wish they had more concession items but other than that, a great place for movie magic."

"Typically films I already love. And a lot of films I found out I’ll enjoy. I’m not sure why, but I love film in 35mm. Feels more authentic."

"One of the finest film institutions in Los Angeles. Have had nothing but memorable screenings and with a dedicated staff behind them. This is the place for cinephiles in Los Angeles."

"Classic Hollywood at its best. American Cinematheque combines Hollywood's 95 year-old Egyptian Theatre and the 75 year-old Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. The Egyptian was built in 1922 by Sid Grauman and held Hollywood's very first Red Carpet premier event. Grauman then sold the Egyptian and built the Chinese Theatre and the El Capitan a few blocks west from the Egyptian on Hollywood Blvd. Google American Cinematheque, Egyptian Theatre or Aero Theatre and you'll get to the same results. Membership is tax-deductible and tickets are $7 instead of $11 per ticket and include 4 free vouchers, free member-only screenings, pre-sales and member priority check-in for big events. Volunteer openings always available."
