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.

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.

A Timeless Gem: New Beverly Cinema

If you're a cinephile or simply someone who appreciates the magic of classic cinema, the New Beverly Cinema is an absolute must-visit. Owned by none other than Quentin Tarantino, this vintage theater is a love letter to the golden age of film, offering an experience that feels like stepping into a time machine.

From the moment you walk in, the cozy, old-school ambiance envelops you. The theater’s retro decor, complete with vintage posters and a charming marquee, sets the stage for an unforgettable night. The seats are comfortable, the atmosphere is intimate, and the sense of history is palpable. It’s the kind of place where you can feel the echoes of countless moviegoers who’ve sat in the same seats, sharing in the collective joy of cinema.

One of the highlights of the New Beverly is its dedication to showcasing classic films—all in glorious 35 mm. The double features are a dream come true for movie lovers, offering a chance to see beloved classics and hidden gems on the big screen, just as they were meant to be seen. Whether it’s a noir thriller from the ’40s, a spaghetti western, or a cult classic from the ’70s, the programming is always thoughtfully curated and deeply nostalgic. Watching these films in their original 35 mm format adds an extra layer of authenticity and charm, making the experience even more special.

And let’s talk about the popcorn—it’s fantastic! Freshly popped, perfectly salted, and served in classic red-and-white striped boxes, it’s the ideal accompaniment to your cinematic journey. The prices are moderate, making it an affordable outing for film enthusiasts of all ages.

But what truly sets the New Beverly apart is the feeling it evokes. Sitting in that theater, surrounded by the flickering light of the 35 mm projector and the hum of the audience, you can’t help but feel transported back in time. It’s a place where the magic of cinema feels alive and well, a sanctuary for those who cherish the art of storytelling.

Quentin Tarantino’s passion for film is evident in every detail of the New Beverly Cinema. It’s not just a theater; it’s a celebration of cinema’s rich history and a reminder of why we fell in love with movies in the first place. If you’re in Los Angeles, do yourself a favor and spend an evening at the New Beverly. It’s an experience you’ll treasure forever.

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.
