1 / 2Laemmle Glendale
📍 Downtown, CA
Glendale indie cinema screening art house, international, and documentary films with director Q&As and special events including sing-along screenings. Handicap accessible with excellent picture and sound quality.
8/24/2025 In the current reality that movie theaters show almost 30 minutes of advertising, it is refreshing to have a movie theater that respects your time. Went for the Kpop Demon Hunters Sing Along. I can say the experience was great. Also, it is a great theater where you can see independent, international, and art house film. Even if the movie ticket may cost few dollars more, it more than makes up for respecting the movie goer. So far I have seen 3 movies in this movie theater.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with older children and teens who want to engage with independent cinema beyond the blockbuster circuit. The intimate atmosphere, minimal advertising, and quality sound and picture make for a more immersive viewing experience.

“Incredible place! Such a hole-in-the-wall type theater, but it was comfortable, homey, and such a better deal than larger theaters. My group had the theater to ourselves, and I was able to fully appreciate the incredible sound and picture quality. I would definitely recommend this place, even for those skeptical to avoid hidden theaters such as this.”

“Update (Nov 2021): Came back in town two years later and my premier card still works! Enjoyed a pretty hard to find indie movie here! Original (Dec 2019): Great location, awesome selection of movies. The seats are new and comfortable. Really enjoyed the visit!”
