VISTA THEATRE
Locals adore this 100 year-old theater at the juncture of Hollywood and Sunset boulevards for its beauty, comfort and choice in films. The facade is ornate Spanish, the theater itself lavish Egyptian-Deco, with carved serpents and sarcophagi, inverted-pyramid chandeliers of opaque glass and, looming over the audience, busts of Egyptian maidens with Mona Lisa stares. The seats are very comfortable, the screen is wall to wall and the picture and sound quality are excellent. There are always first-run flicks, and they're almost always right in step with what the Los Feliz-Silver Lake crowd wants.
