The first thing I did when I moved out to Los Angeles was find cool movie theaters and boy howdy, does Los Angeles have some cool movies theaters. Easily my favorite of them is The New Beverly Cinema. Here's their website - http://www.newbevcinema.com/
The New Beverly Cinema is strictly a revival theater, meaning they only show films not currently in theatrical distribution. Which is totally awesome. But wait, it gets better. All showings (with the exception of the midnight films) are double bills for seven dollars. Unbelievable.
Needless to say, The New Bev' (as it's commonly called 'round these parts) is my second home. I try to go as much as possible and I'm starting to wish I was keeping track of all the films I've seen there. So here is a vague, possibly complete record of all the films I've seen there in the last seven months.
The Thing ('82 version)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers ('78 version)
Vanishing Point
Hell's Angels on Wheels
Mulholland Dr.

Hi Eric.
I caught wind of your blog via Facebook. I have a feeling 'Mulholland Drive' is a perfect film to see at such an interesting theater, especially in LA. I hope life is treating you well!

I get the feeling that if I lived near a theater like this, I wouldn't need to be married.
