New Beverly Cinema

Outstanding. Note: They do not allow phones up when the lights are down and rightly so but one thing I didn't realize because the photos in reviews are lights up is that the screen is much larger than I thought it was. Not IMAX or anything but the sides open up so it gives you that 1970s, 80s, 90s screen experience. NO digital movies which I love but if you go thinking you're going to get a MCU 4K crazy crisp experience, you're not but that is part of the charm of the New Bev. Great posters, intimate, old school refreshment counter, just all around great time and experience. Highly recommended.

My mom and I visited the New Beverly earlier this week for the double feature of Single White Female and Pacific Heights. The staff were very nice and accommodating to us since she was in a power chair. They were strict about enforcing the no cell phone rule in the theater, which I appreciated. I also loved the old school ambiance, the Looney Tunes cartoon, and retro trailers before and in between the features themselves. I enjoyed the 90s nostalgia and I loved that QT and his team screened these two films together. He's obviously a fan of 90s suspense thrillers and I hope he decides to screen more of them. These two films in particular have been childhood favorites ever since I first saw them with my mom upon initial release. I was kind of annoyed and quite confused with the response by the audience who watched it with us. I'm not sure if it was because times have changed or people nowadays respond to uncomfortable situations with laughter (the 90s audiences took the films more seriously). Who knows why? I tried not to let it spoil our experience. My mom had a terrible time getting in and out of the restroom because it was so tiny and not ADA compliant by any means. It was during intermission and I did not go with her, but I will take her word for it. I asked some man outside to take our picture in front of the theater marquee and he acted like it was a huge inconvenience. Luckily, a very kind staff member took better pictures of us. I wish I knew his name, but kudos to that guy for being such a good sport. I only wish I got a Rick Dalton milk mug before I left! I totally forgot to get one! Next time when I'm in LA, but on a solo trip.

As people who know, this place is owned by Quentin Tarantino. The director who has a thing against digital films, so everything shown here is all in 35mm and not digitally projected. However, just because he owns the place, how much of a decision he makes over what gets shown here is debatable. For instance, after his making of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", he gave a bunch of interviews where he outright talked about how he preferred the Bruce-sploitation actors over Bruce Lee himself. Yet there I am, giving money to his establishment for showing a Bruce Lee movie, just because I knew a friend wanted to watch it on the big screen. Then, the guy hosting it talks it up about how we got this special 35mm cut, and talked it up saying, "You guys are lucky enough to watch it in it's original language!" Well, newsflash, amateur, the first feature wasn't in the Cantonese original meant for the domestic audience! Get your languages straight, Gringo! You redeemed yourself with the second movie's correct language, but at the end of the day, there were a lot of hard jumps and split cuts throughout the movie, and it really ruined the experience. Lots of details were left out of both movies. What other movies are you gonna' show that are gonna' be ruined and cut for no reason? First time here is going to be my last.

I hate to say anything negative about a theater I love so much, but the talking and cellphones have really gotten outta hand lately and the staff doesn't do anything about it. They give a reminder when they hand you your ticket, and the guy gives a speech at the beginning about how someone got a lifetime ban for taking their phone out during the opening cartoon once, but they must only check the theater for those first 10 minutes because there has been a lit-up cellphone at the last 3 screenings I've been to and no action was taken on the part of the theater. Someone got on their phone TWICE during the Thanksgiving screening of King Kong and nothing happened. People also talk constantly throughout the movie and nobody gives them a warning or anything. I understand the theater must not have the resources to have someone in the theater the whole time, but if nobody actually comes to check until someone complains, then it makes that whole speech at the beginning very hollow and the viewing experience turns sour. I hope to see improvement in the coming year, I will not be coming back soon until they actively do something to enforce their policies, like they used to.

I've only been here twice, one for an evening screening of Eyes Wide Shut and one afternoon screening of Planet of the Apes. For both of these films this was my first time seeing them and I have a great experience. There's strict rules about phone use and talking during the screening, which is incredibly difficult for my wife but she succeeded. Highly recommend watching a film here especially if you know nothing about it in advance.

This is a really cool cinema not too far from Beverly Hills. There is only one theater inside, and they play mostly older movies on original film reels. I saw “Peanuts: A Boy Named Charlie Brown” here with my mother and it was very nice. A staff member introduced the film and talked about it briefly, and the reel even includes some old advertisements which were fun to watch. The theater has a concessions stand where you can buy popcorn, candy, and drinks. Tickets are generally pretty affordable as well! This is a fun experience that’s definitely worth checking out!

Couldn't have had asked for a better experience. Bought tix online back home in Canada. Doors open 45 mins before. Got super yummy snacks like : some crazy.chocolate covered cookie dough candy things we don't have in Canada(COLD, FROM THE FRIDGE!!!) , 2 dads root beers, 2 small popcorn 🍿, and 2 amazing 2 black custom ben cinema t shirts. ~$70USD The preshow "this is what the Bev is all about and house rules" speech at the beginning is honestly worth the experience in itself. There are seriously passionate people working here We got 2nd row. The seats are not on an incline. For subtitles, I had to move my head to find a window Hoodie, leggings, sweatpants, converse. Good temp Volume is LOUD. Good loud. Only gunshots were EXTRA wow that kinda hurts loud. They play Quentins personal copies of the films. The people r the best part. The mood in that theatre warmed my soul. Film is not dead, it is very much alive. I so wish to be able to have this vibrancy at home in Vancouver. Thanks everyone! I had a great time watching Jackie Brown for the 1st time at a midnight screening Free parking at the closed down businesses across the street They have unique books for sale too

An amazing movie going experience 100%. The screen and sound quality are fantastic for a theater of this size. The crowds are fun. I’m pushing 400 pounds and had a tight fit in the seats but they were actually pretty comfortable. If I had to sit directly next to someone it might not have been so comfy though. We watched Kill Bill and it felt like there was no better place on earth to watch a Tarantino movie.

Every true cinephile in Los Angeles must see a film at New Beverly at least once. Owned by the fiercest of movie lovers, it's a classic, modest space truly celebrating the joy of cinema. My first film there was "Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood", a perfect experience. I was also there for the William Smith tribute double feature in November 2021. I wasn't sure how often QT actually shows up to introduce films - or if he ever does - but I felt there was a strong chance of him appearing at the William Smith double bill to shout the title of one of the films as many times as he could get away with it. The merch and movie snacks available at the cinema are delightful. At one of the screenings I attended, they offered Dr. Enuf - I haven't had a Dr. Enuf since I was in my hometown in Tennessee! Though parking in the area is tricky (and sometimes dangerous at night), there are plenty of good spots nearby for a pre- or post-show dinner: Bludso's BBQ on La Brea, and El Coyote right down the street from the cinema. Follow them on Instagram to be updated nearly daily of their upcoming screenings. Even if you've seen a favourite film a hundred times, it's a special experience to see it at New Beverly.

Haters gonna hate, ainters gonna aint. In this time of corporate greed and commercialization of every creative impulse this place shines with virtue and is a wholesome reminder of how the movies became a big deal in the first place. Not the best technology or the biggest names (well maybe occasionally) but pure unadulterated storytelling. I once had the good fortune to attend a Friday matinee showing of my favorite movie which happens to be very slightly-underappreciated or not mainstream popular and a bit dark, delicious--The Talented Mr. Ripley. And it was sold out. At 2 pm. On a weekday. I've watched other at home more than a hundred times but to watch it in a room full of others and find humor in unexpected places, gasps from first timers which reminded me of when I first realized where the beautiful story had started taking us, crammed into bare minimum quality seating which was just suitable enough for me to forget about myself for a couple hours and to be enveloped by the beauty of sundrenched coastal Italian landscapes before the darkness of human depravity stole the show... is something more precious than money can buy. I am grateful this humble monument to film is in my neighborhood and I am grateful for their delicious real butter topped popcorn.

New Beverly Cinema, Quentin Tarantino's first theater in LA, is an absolute gem. This small single-screen theater primarily showcases old movies, offering a nostalgic trip down memory lane. While the legroom might be a bit limited, the exceptional sound system and unique atmosphere more than make up for it. I recommend arriving a little earlier to secure a good seat and enjoy some snacks. All screenings are projected on film, complete with classic cartoons and old movie trailers before the main feature. The pre-show intro about the film and house rules sets the tone for a respectful viewing experience. Their strict no talking and no cellphone policy ensures an immersive movie-watching environment. New Beverly Cinema is truly dedicated to elevating your movie-going experience to the highest level. Don't forget to grab a monthly calendar to plan your next visit!

This is a great, nostalgic theater for the self- proclaimed movie buff! If you are expecting this place to be a commercial, high tech theater then this place is not be for you. What you can expect at the New Beverly Cinema are movies played on its original 35 mm film projected on a teeny tiny screen. With that being said, try to get a seat up close! My date and I made the mistake of grabbing seats closer to the back to avoid neck strain, but we were quick to regret our choices. The seats are not set up on much of an adequate incline so half the screen was obstructed by the guy's head in front of me. It was my first time seeing "My Bloody Valentine" so it kind of killed it for me. No pun intended. The seats are pretty close together and cushions have lost its firmness from decades of butts. The people you'll meet at the New Beverly are all friendly and share a common bond- the love of great cinema. I think the average patron goes for the experience and not the "high quality". You may expect a long wait at the concession stand since it is very small. The line extended all the way into the theater. We went to a midnight screening and parking was easy to find on the residential street. I didn't use the restrooms, but my date did and he said they had recently upgraded! I'll take that as a good sign. Many great photo opportunities here, if you're into that thing!

We went here for a double feature film and the memories came flooding to my brain of a simpler time of watching good movies with good people people the atmosphere was positive and people were there to actually watch a movie, the popcorn was good and the selection of candy was robust, I look forward to coming here again with friends and family hopefully soon!

Been going here for over 10 years now, and I drive all the way down from Burbank. It's the only true indie theatre with a homey feel that caters to film buffs in LA. Excellent popcorn. Friendly staff. And strict no phone usage policy. Of course, not everything is always peachy. Seating can be pretty snug at times with moviegoers sitting elbow to elbow. Also, if You do not buy tickets in advance you stand the chance of not even getting into the theatre if the movie is really popular, as the theatre is fairly small. However in the end, this all adds to its charm.

This is a great place to see old films on the big screen that you can't see anywhere else. Please patronize this place to keep it alive.

I have mixed feelings about New Beverly, I have been here on and off during the years because it might be one of the last few theaters in town that show movies on 35 mm (before and after Tarantino bought it). Parking - get there early to hunt a spot on the street. Ticket prices- OK. The selection for double features and guests used to be better. It used to be more laid back, over time it turn more hipster-ish, a cool place to be seen. The seating is not the best, after a double feature you are in need of a yoga class LOL. Decent option overall for older movies and cinephiles in LA!

What a gift to movie lovers. Such a great experience. A fun, curated selection of movies. Even fun trailers and promos. Delicious & reasonable concessions. Family matinees on weekends with free popcorn for kids. Always love coming here. Great vibes and atmosphere. It's one of the places that makes our city of Los Angeles special.

So much fun, I'll be there at least once a week. Anyone want to join me.... Two of my favorite love stories playing on the big screen in the movie house of old, 'Bonnie and Clyde' and 'True Romance'. These 2 movies, I have watched over and over starting from the TV set, to VHS to DVD. What a treat to go back in time and sit in a movie house that would have been the location to see them when they were first released. I loved how the movie usher man came down and gave us an introduction to the movies we were about to see, interacted with the audience and then proceeded to give us the best rules of our lives...no cell phones, no talking. Perfect. Jeff was so kind as to send me next door for a tasty burger, the Swiss cheeseburger. Thank you Jeff, yes it was quite tasty.

To sit in a theater that dates back to the 1920's and is owned by none other than Quentin Tarantino, one of cinema's best to ever do it...and have films shown on 35 mm *insert mind blown emoji here.* In an era where watching a movie is just a click away on television, I appreciated the nostalgic feel. It definitely felt more than just going to the theater. It felt like an experience, especially considering we decided to do a midnight screening of True Romance, from Tarantino's personal collection. *insert another mind blown emoji here.* Seating is first come first serve. We purchased our tickets in advance and arrived about 20 mins before which allowed plenty of time to find free street parking, grab our delicious popcorn, hotdog, and m&m's. Also, when I say delicious I mean like wow, DELICIOUS. Not sure if it was the butter or the fact that the concessions felt so reasonably priced, but it was so incredible that I had sweet dreams of the popcorn for days to come. *insert drooling emoji here.* I enjoyed that the previews played before the movie are classic film previews that relate with the current movie you are about to watch. These are also previews that for me, I was too young to ever experience and films that I now look forward to watching here. Also rather than having a typical AMC preview that talks about turning off your phone, it was an actual employee who went to the front, engaged the audience, asked who was a newbie, and told people of the no cellphone policy. They even did a cool raffle with the ticket stubs and gave prizes such as sunglasses and a skateboard. Talk about customer appreciation! I haven't been to the movie theaters in what feels to be at least 2 years, but this place, wow. It's a place all movie lovers should experience. I absolutely loved the retro feel and the small intimate setting. You are surrounded by people alike who love movies and want to step back to see a classic. We are definitely going to make it a point to go back and bring our friends to experience this. A double feature is in my future. Tip: Follow their IG page to get their monthly movie showings and check when they get post screening discussions.

Always a great experience at the New Beverly! Great place to see rare flicks! Staff is always kind! I loved that I got the chance to see "Looking for Mr.Goodbar".

Mixed feelings here. 1. Last old time cinema in the area. 2. Interesting mix of older films 3. Bad parking situation 4. Online ticket seats end too early. 5. No clarity on available tickets . I.e do I really want to wait for crap seats? Fixes 1. Make deal with strip mall across the street for nighttime parking

Great theatre for those who enjoy movies on film. Concessions are good and the programing has something to offer for pretty much anyone who likes movies. Offers a much better experience than any of the big chains.

Always a great movie selection, friendly staff, yummy goodies to eat while enjoying the retro movies and the theater is clean! The only caveat is the seat are a bit on the small side. The seats need to be at least 3 to 4 inches wider is all.

Going to the movies is not something I normally do when traveling, but my brother had expressed interest in seeing a film at the New Beverly while we were in LA. Being someone who loves movies and seeks out art houses and venues that elevate the viewing experience, I did a little research and immediately got excited to see a film here. New Beverly is one of the oldest movie houses in LA. Comprising of a single screen, it shows a variety of vintage films and specials. Since 2007, the Beverly has been owned by Quentin Tarantino, and I heard he has a heavy hand in the programming. The Beverly's motto is "always on film", meaning that they do not show any films digitally - it's all the real deal. Their schedule is posted a few weeks in advance, and we were able to catch a showing of Sergio Leone's spaghetti western The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I would definitely recommend purchasing tickets in advance - we got there about 45 minutes before showtime and were greeted by a line, so there's a risk of the show being sold out if you don't get advance tickets. Seating is on a first come, first served basis, and they have a concession stand that has an excellent variety of snacks. Additionally, they have a selection of Beverly merch for purchase. There is no dedicated parking, but we had luck finding a spot on a block adjacent to the theater. The staff was great, everything from check in to concessions was seamless. Overall, I had an excellent experience at the Beverly; I felt very much at home here - this is the kind of moviegoing I gravitate towards and I would definitely look into their showings the next time I'm in LA.

My absolute favorite movie theater in Los Angeles. "We love showing movies" is their motto (a variation of something Quentin Tarantino says when making films), and it really shows. They pride themselves on a number of things: always showing movies on film, reasonably priced tickets and concessions, running a clean theater, showcasing a great repertoire of films (including Friday matinees, Saturday family matinees, and weekend midnight screenings, in addition to the usual double-features during weekday evenings), making preview trailers every month, having pre-shows with trailers and animated shorts, plus pre-show music that fits the feature -- and most importantly, that seeing movies is a special experience, with no cell phones or talking allowed. It's not a gigantic movieplex with stadium seating and infinite bathrooms, but the New Bev is the kind of movie theater that you'd see in the movies -- someplace special, and a place that you come to for magic.

I went to New Beverly Cinema last night to attend the screening of American Badass: A Michael Madsen Retrospective, as well as to see actor Michael Madsen in-person. I enjoyed both the documentary and the post-screening conversation with Michael Madson, director Dominique Milano, and the moderator. Michael Madsen and Dominique Milano were kind enough to chat with fans, sign autographs, and take photos throughout the night. I had a great time and hope to have more similar experiences while at the theater in the future. I really like the programming at the New Beverly Cinema. It's a great neighborhood theater. It's a plus to see special guests at some of their screenings. There is a great sense of community at the theater.

The staff, curation, concessions- just about everything gets an A+, apart from the seats. Every time I've been to the New Beverly, I've never had more than a sliver view of the screen past the heads of those in front of me. At last month's Jackie Chan double feature, my friends and I left before the first movie ended since none of us could see the screen. I really want to love this theater, but I won't be back unless the screen is raised or seats made stadium.

If you love film, this is the place to be. The atmosphere, the people, the movies, and overall vibe is absolutely perfect.

A truly wonderful place to enjoy being a cinephile. This is Quentin Tarantino's revival theatre and you can feel the love of film in all the little details. If you're a fan of his work, you absolutely have to come here at least once. The lobby is a tad cramped, but they make good use of the space and there's little Easter eggs of QT references sprinkled throughout. Make sure to get a tasty beverage and some popcorn because it's delicious. And how do you even watch a movie without popcorn? Not sure it's possible. There was an intro by the program director that was filled with cool trivia about the film (Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood) and a strict reminder of no talking or texting-every theatre should do this!! I love this theatre-going experience and look forward to going again many more times.

Cool revival theater owned by Quentin Tarantino. They frequently show his films as well as a lot of other content (mostly older/classic films). We actually saw a new release here (Licorice Pizza) but I think that's pretty rare. Follow them on social media for the latest updates and upcoming calendar. TIPS: ~Buy tickets in advance online. ~Arrive early to get in line. There's no assigned seating so it helps to be early. ~Buy your snacks/drinks early because the line gets really long closer to showtime. ~Make sure you read their current vaccination policy. They are checking vaccine cards at the door. Not sure if they will accept a test, you'll have to check. + The concession stand was awesome. Very affordable plus great options. They have hot dogs (regular and vegan) plus White Castle burgers! I used to devour White Castle growing up in New Jersey so it's very nostalgic for me. They also have a bunch of specialty sodas, Topo-Chico mineral water, and tea/coffee. No beer, sorry. + The staff were all so friendly. My boyfriend took forever to find to find his vaccine card and they were really cool and patient about it. - It was FREEZING in the theater. They could have pumped some heat in there to ensure the audience was comfortable. - No parking lot. I read that some people struggled with parking so we splurged on an Uber to avoid the anxiety. I can't personally attest to the parking difficulties but if you search the reviews, there are notes from the manager offering parking tips.

The cinema is a historic movie theater located in a building that dates back to the 1920s, which is one of the oldest revival houses in the region. It is owned by the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, and has become a bastion for 35mm films.

First time at the New Beverly and I fell in love with the place. It's adorable. It's intimate. Usually, I wouldn't get the front seat, but in this theater, it's the best seat because you're far away from the screen, and the screen is up on this little stage, so everything's perfect the only problem is that there's no way of communicating with the employees or the manager, so if you're confused about stuff, there's no line of communication even if you do not receive an email with the booking reference number after ordering tickets through their website, you can still watch the movie you purchased tickets for.

The way a theater should be! All film, variety of genres, and no phones! Wish we had a theater like this in the IE.

Great screen, great sound, great atmosphere. The food is well priced and great too. The bathrooms are unfortunately small and the line getting to concessions is cramped. Other than that I look forward to coming here more often. Worth checking out if you love movies

My first time at New Beverly Cinema and loved it!!! It's a small theatre but very organized, very clean & well preserved, well kept. Double feature! The staff was friendly, glad to see you kinda vibe, and handled the snack bar with great efficiency. Before the show we were presented with a lil background on the movie & it was explained that their movies are on film, not digitalized. It is ART he said & I agree ! They explained what was expected of us: RESPECT, absolutely no phones. Silence them & put them away for the show & of course no talking. I saw The Outsiders & it was very good quality. It was a great experience! A great "vintage" experience! Will definitely go back again!

Best theatre in Los Angeles. Always on film as they always say. Great 35mm prints. Cheap tickets, cheap concessions as well.

Average movie theater playing classic movies from the 90s and before. Owned by Tarantino, so they play a ton of his films. Parking is a nightmare. No parking lot of any kind. It's all meter parking, so during your movie, you have to leave and feed the meter. The residential neighborhoods are mostly permit parking only. The theater should reserve a block of parking out front or get a lot nearby. The men's bathroom is the size of a small broom closet, and it's extremely awkward when several people are waiting to use it. The concessions stand has no space to operate, so the slow moving line to get food extends into the theater and wraps down the aisle, so you stand in line to get popcorn while your movie has already begun. I gave up and just filled up my cup from the water fountain. (Bonus points for providing free filter water). The sound is really bad here. No bass. Really sharp highs to the point where my ears damn near hurt it was so poorly tuned. If they could put better sound in here, it would help the theater tremendously. I did like that they play old trailers and cartoons before the movie. It was fun one time, but I probably won't be back. Not when there are so many high-quality movie theaters all over town.

I went to see a double feature 'Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3' & 'Stepfather 2: Make room for Daddy' a tribute to the recent passing of Director Jeff Burr, and I was very entertained and amazed at the style of these two films, Jeff Burr really entertains. My favorite was Stepfather 2, Terry O' Quinn is fantastic, the script by John Auerbach is brutal, cogent and hilarious at moments. The New Beverly Cinema is a diamond in Los Angeles. I am now a fan of New Beverly Cinema.

This beautiful little theater is owned by cinema legend Quentin Tarantino. I fell in love the second I stepped inside. Every film is shown on 35mm print (I believe they play 16mm every once in awhile). Many of the prints come from Tarantino's personal collection. Others are borrowed from studios. Before the films, someone comes up and talks about the history of the movie and even the history of the prints, including who they got them from, what year the print was made, and other fun facts. It truly does feel like you are apart of movie history when you are inside the New Beverly. Concession prices are a lot lower than other theaters and the popcorn is really quite tasty. There are also men's and women's bathrooms and complementary water cups. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable and help make a great experience. There is also great food really close by. I love this theater!

Wanna see a classic film in 35mm? Getting super nostalgic about watching your favorite movie that you were too young to see in the theathers? Hate people who are always on their phone texting in a dark theather which the glow of their light is ruining your movie and you wish they would get kicked out??? Well friends you're in luck cause the New Bev is definitely one of the coolest places and best experiences to have for all your film fanatics, movie buffs, and wannabe cinephiles! Saw Point Break + Hardboiled recently and I gotta say there is nothing quite like watching a movie with a bunch of people who genuinely want to be there and it totally heightens the experience Bathroom: Super tiny. One urinal and one stall. Seats: They are refurnished but definitely on the small side. Concessions: Super cheap. Get the Dad's Rootbeer + White castle sliders. My favorite part of this theather is there strict No cellphone policy. When my friend told me that they were super strict about cell phone use and that they will kick you out and ban your ass if you don't follow your rules I was pleasantly surprised and skeptical. However, upon a recent showing someone told the guy behind me to shut off his apple watch cause the glow was super distracting.... DUDE. I LOVE THIS. Coming from shit-hole AMC movies where I have to literally tell someone to put away their phone every single time I watch a movie this is a breath of fresh air.... Excited to see what upcoming movies are coming out at the New Bev! Toodles, JY

My first movie is this classic movie house was Pepe le Moko in 2002. And I loved that they had a book to take recommendations for future movies. I have been begging for a double feature of "The Errand Boy" and "They Went That a Way and That a Way" or at least "War of the Gargantuas" and "S-s-s-s". By 2010, I found it a perfect place for first dates in LA to catch the classics you've missed on the big screen, unknown recommended classics, and some cool special events. I saw "Double Indemnity" with a professional clown (1/22/10), the surreal "Hausu" with a TLC personality (3/15/10), and I am glad to have somehow saved "Gone With the Wind" to watch on a big screen (with a puppeteer 4/27/10) instead of watching five hours of it on TBS with ads. I saw my favorite foreign film "Old Boy" (with Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) with a girl who somehow looks like a sexy Christopher Plummer (6/17/10), the weird "Gone with the Pope" with some weirder Italian (7/13/10), "Bukowski: Born into This" and Doors doc "People are Strange" with a girl who proved that to be true (9/8/10). I also watched a collection of romantic movie trailers for Valentine's Day and a collection of horror movie trailers for Halloween--- do they still do that? Quentin, bring that back. I'll show you my feet.

Staff here is incredibly nice. My friend was having trouble finding his vaccine card, the staff was nice and didn't rush of seemed annoyed about it. Appreciated that.

One of the best movie theaters in all of Los Angeles and California. The programming here is always phenomenal and consistently provides an extremely entertaining, eclectic assortment of great film options. They will play the most mainstream to the most obscure, often times as double features which is amazing! If you love movie theaters, you have to check out the New Beverly Cinema. If you're able to, buy tickets in advance otherwise be prepared for standby and long lines before screenings. However, it's always well worth it! I've been coming to the New Beverly for the last 7 years consistently and can't recommend it enough. There are plenty of food places within walking distance, but be conscious of parking. It can get tricky at times and pay attention to the signs! If you're unable to do rideshare or have a problem walking, definitely pay attention to the street parking signs. Also NO cellphones. Make sure you turn those things off if you bring them in otherwise you will get kicked out. Should be a no brainer, but just in case TURN OFF YOUR PHONE! Otherwise kick back and enjoy a great movie experience in a phenomenal revival movie theatre.

I love how diligent they are about no phones and no talking during the show. The theater is well loved and well cared for. Parking is a bit of a hassle, but I was lucky enough to find a spot a block away that had no restrictions!

This is always a fantastic experience. You have a roomful of hardcore movie lovers who don't put up with talking or cell phone use. Pure nirvana if you're a cinema lover. Plus they have Goobers. Even though it's a trek, I try to lose it one or two times a month.

My bf and I love this lil theatre. Since discovering it, we've gone quite a few times already to watch some classic movies. It's a super chill environment and a cute vibe for a date night. They have a nice variety of snacks at their concession stand. Popcorn is my bf number one weakness. He gives the popcorn 4 out of 5 stars. He says they need a larger option for popcorn heads like him. Also, it's a very family oriented theatre as well with some of their G rated viewings. So if you don't like kids, stick to the R rated movies instead. One last thing to note, they do have restrooms but they're small for those of us with that overall fat juicy thickness. Unfortunately, people who need wheelchair access to the bathrooms would not be able to use them because the space is so small. The seats themselves in the theatre also run a bit small. So you may or may not sit comfortably. They do however have wheelchair access seating at the back of the theatre for those who need it. Hope this info helps. :)

Always good mf movies here. A necessary oasis for the cool intense movie buffs with encyclopedic knowledge out here ! Can usually get tickets at door if it isn't a weekend. prices are reasonable and the movie candy is 2-4 bucks.. amc could never

Best movie theater of all time, an absolute gem for cinephiles and anyone who loves to see movies on true film.

One of the most treasured places in LA! I am obsessed with old movies and this place has the best selections, perfectly curated for any film lover. All of the movies are actually projected on film in both 35 and 70 mm! Trust me, check it out and go! You will not be disappointed!

Haven't seen a movie here BUT we have been waiting in a line for over an hour to buy merch that they are selling for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and my 13 year old had to use the bathroom so we popped into the entrance of the theater, no one around but the women's bathroom was right at the front so we went to open the door and an older man who works at the theater walks out and looked at us all stunned. I said "she has to use the restroom.." he just stared at us and said "we're closed you can't be in here" I said "we've been in line for awhile, she's a child" and he said "no you can't be in here" and made us leave. What a jerk. Definitely won't be back.

Waiting to see Quentin one day. Every screening I've been to here has been an absolute joy.

A quirky, retro theater owned by none other than Quentin Tarantino himself. Its a theater for hard-core cinema lovers, and the movies they show are retro as well. I saw 2007's Death Proof, and in a night to celebrate all things Kurt Russell, the previews were all his movies. Love the atmosphere and couldn't recommend it more !

This theater is misleading their customers. Bookmarks were advertised with a different price than what they tried charging me for. I asked for two bookmarks, and I gave them a penny (one cent). The girl at the counter said they were each 50 cents. But the sign clearly says they're only 0.50 cents. It should be written as "50¢ a piece" OR "$0.50 a piece". Saying something is .50¢ is saying 2 for 1 penny. Just get rid of the decimal. Whoever wrote that sign is clearly uneducated. The fact that the girl at the counter didn't understand basic elementary school math is quite frankly ridiculous. How illiterate can you possibly be?

Came to see There Will Be Blood. It was fantastic of course, besides some folks mistakenly thinking we were watching a comedy.. I would gladly come again to see an Argento or something more period correct to match the wonderfully old school atmosphere.. But please, for the love of feet shots and surf rock.. Upgrade the MFin seats! Thank you!

My first experience at New Beverly Cinema was everything and more. The venue is honestly dedicated to bringing unique film to the audience through curated lineup of classics and new features. We saw Prince's Sign o' the Times. I would have never seen this otherwise and am glad I did. It was amazing. Architecture and ambiance |It's an old theater, but doesn't have all the bells and whistles. It is modest, but that is what gives it so much charm. It's all about the movie. There is a box office with one line that takes care of walk ups and tickets bought online. The cozy lobby that gives way into the two aisle on either side of the theater. My only complaint is that some of the seats were pretty tight. Since this is a venue that dedicates itself to the craft, you'll often see celebrities there, we did. Food and drink | It's a nostalgic lineup both in variety and prices. You can get a popcorn, drink and candy for around $7!!! No alcohol, but there are a couple bars in walking distance and many more a short drive away. Parking and access | I was worried about this, but on a Friday night at 7pm, we found tons of street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. We parked a block away. Service | Staff was great. Quick check-in and concession service.

Amazing curation, cute intimate space dedicated to preservation but totally lacking operationally. I've been here many, many times and I know you have to get the tickets at the door with the email you receive after purchasing. I purchased tickets on my phone and got to the confirmation page after payment that said that I would receive an email shortly with order details. I never did. They have no phone number so there was no one to call, and I emailed them almost immediately. No response. In fact, no response for three days. I did not want to drive all the way to Hollywood from Santa Monica at rush hour without a confirmation so I assumed there was an issue with my order and requested a refund. No one responded to my email for over three days until I finally reached out on Instagram where I got an immediate response and was told the email I entered was off by one letter. iPhone keyboard typo, totally my bad. But I had assumed something was up, tried to reach out immediately, got no response for several days and was ultimately told no refunds and asked why I didn't show up anyway to try to get in...I sent a test email to the email that I had accidentally typed in and it bounced back immediately, it doesn't exist. They were able to sell these tickets at the door and they did not lose out on any money but I did. Again my mistake, but there is no available recourse and nothing on their end to confirm a valid email address before tickets are sent out. Typos happen, so be careful when purchasing online. P.s. I even tried to reach out on yelp that day regarding not receiving the follow up email to try to get my tickets another way and my question was reported and removed. Nice

To begin with, if you buy a ticket in advance you have simply no advantage over people who didn't. They used to ask people with tickets to get in first, but now you have to wait everybody to pay for their tickets and get the best seats while you are still in line waiting with your ticket in hand. Secondly, the 35mm prints are usually not of good quality. This month alone I've watched Sunset Boulevard, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and A Star is Born and was extremely disappointed with the quality of them. Ironically enough, we were told at the beginning of the session by a very unfunny guy how good all prints were, that we would be surprised... I was surprised alright. They all looked awful. They were 3rd generation prints at best. Sunset Boulevard and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? were bad. None of them were nice and creamy like nitrate prints were supposed to look. The latter was terribly blurred. A Star is Born was ghastly. The colors were a tragedy. Whites were yellow and blacks were deep blue. Blurred and out of focus. I'm here right now for The Day of the Locust and unfortunately I'm not sure it'll be any different. I've watched Harold and Maude here also and the quality was a disappointment as well. They might say "it's film, what do you expect?" I've seen screenings that blew me away, so that's not an excuse. I appreciate the effort they put into bring us certain titles, but I don't think the quality of some of them are good enough for screening. Just because it's 35mm, it doesn't mean it's good. You should at least describe the quality of the prints so people come to see them aware of what they bought tickets for. I'll certainly think twice before coming back. Edit: The Day of the Locust was absolutely unwatchable. We watched several minutes to see if it'd improve. There was literally no color black or white in the movie. The print had turned magenta and all you could see was a faded ghost of what the movie was supposed to look like. My husband and I had to ask for a refund. They gave us passes to come to back and see some other movie. I ask myself, is there going to be a screening worth watching? I seriously doubt it. I don't know why nobody else thought it was unacceptable. I do not believe in the "nobody else is complaining so I'll pretend I'm enjoying it" mentality. But the New Beverly got what they wanted, a full house of paying customers.. but I'm not having it.
