Seattle’s Cinerama (one of three theatres in the US still capable of playing three-strip Cinerama films) is THE place to see any sort of cinema on the west coast. This is a fantastic place with one of the largest screens in the nation. The Cinerama was renovated in ‘99 via Paul Allen. The retro ‘60s interior is fun, and the twinkling “star lights” in the ceiling draw you right into the magic of the theatre.

The Cinerama plays new films on a slightly smaller screen, but check out their website for events where they show older films on the true Cinerama screen (read up on the process). I had the opportunity to see “Lawrence of Arabia” there on a cleaned up print, and it was nothing short of amazing. This is a great theatre, a wonderful place to visit, and for any fan of the movies, a must-see!
