In Reply to: Your favorite movie theatre?... posted by musetap on April 24, 2014 at 11:45:45:
...in my neighborhood.
When I think of a theater I've liked, I have to look back in memory to a time that seems almost completely gone. I had lived in Portland for about 30 years. And that was over a decade ago. Even when I'd just arrived in Portland, the older theaters were the ones with the most class. The ones built in the 1920's and 1930's. Art Deco styling.
I have a memory of seeing 2001 A Space Odyssey at the Lauralhurst Theater at 2735 E. Burnside, Portland, Or. It was around 1969. By then the place was looking shabby and worn about the edges. But still playing mainstream movies. At the time it was a single screen theater and it had a sound system to die for. I'd venture a guess that it must have been Altec-Lansing VOT. full range sound that could pressurize your chest and rattle your innards...:-)
That's my memory of The Lauralhurst Theater in Portland circa 1969. I found out today that it's been converted into a 4 screen multi-plex / pub. Sigh. At least the building still lives.
