About this Event

Part of our Let’s Go Back to the Movies series

Sunday, September 6, 2026 (Labor Day weekend so you can sleep it off in the Shire on Monday)

LOCATION: The Los Angeles Theater, 615 S Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90014

SPECIAL NOTE: We’re screening the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy in the opera house of Los Angeles cinemas-the Los Angeles Theater, built in 1931 by showman H.L. Gumbiner — with Charlie Chaplin himself putting up money to finish it in time to host the world premiere of City Lights, with Einstein in the audience.. We’ll have 1 hour intermissions between each movie so audiences can explore the theater, go down to an entire level we’re setting up with bars, food courts, music. This is a once in a lifetime experience, a mecca of cinema. We have a whole day planned of cinema, food, drink, trivia, tours, movie lore.
