The Vista Theater

It was by mere coincidence that we ended up going to this movie theater in Silverlake. We wanted to catch an afternoon showing of Harry Potter, but the showtimes at the theater we were at in Temple City started way too late. We found out this theater had a 3:15 showing and we sped over. The theater rests on the edge of Silverlake and fits into this artsy neighborhood very well. The outside is red brick with green awnings and an old fashion markee out front. The bad part is that parking is pretty tight on the street and I had to park several blocks away and then run to the theater because we were late, but if you leave yourself enough time to get there, it shouldn't be a problem. The best part is the the price! For a matinee it was only $5! Snacks were reasonably priced also; they had normal sized drinks and you weren't forced to buy an insanely supersized drink or popcorn. The theater is beautiful inside. Everything is Egyptian themed and giant pharoah heads line the inside of the theater. It definitely had an old Hollywood feel. My favorite thing, however, about the theater is that there is so much leg room. The rows are spaced really far apart so you can stretch your legs all the way out and not hit anyone. A trip to the Vista theater is well worth it.
