1 screen 193 seats The 400-seat Regent Theatre was opened September 9, 1966 with Dirk Bogarde in β€œKing and Country”. It was operated by Laemmle Theatres. It often operated as a spillover house for the Village Theatre, which is just a few hundred feet away. Its lobby was absorbed years ago by adjacent retail space and its remaining auditorium is a relic of the 1970’s. The Regent Theatre was taken over by Landmark Theatres in 2002 from Mann Theatres. On June 14, 2019 it was closed for renovations and reopened in October 2019 as the Landmark Westwood Theatre. Contributed by Ross Melnick You think when you reach a certain age things will start making sense, and you find out that you are just as lost as you were before. I suppose that's what damnation is. The pieces of your life never to come together, just splashed out there. Once the soul was perfect and had wings, it could sour into haven that only creatures with wings can be. But the soul lost its wings and fell to earth where it took a earthly body, now, while it lives in this body no outward sign of wings can be seen yet the roots of its wings are still there... and we see a beautiful woman or a man, the soul remembers the beauty it used to know in haven, and begins to spout and that makes the soul want to fly but it cannot yet it is still too weak so that man keeps staring up to the sky at a young bird, he lost all interest in the world around... Seems you're alone. You're not. Even now, He's taking your hand and guiding you by a way you cannot see. If you're unhappy, you shouldn't take it as a mark of God's disfavor. Just the contrary. Might be the very sign He loves you. He shows His love not by helping you avoid suffering, by sending you suffering. By keeping you there. To suffer binds you to something higher than yourself, higher than your own will. Takes you from the world, to find what lies beyond it. We are not only to endure patiently the troubles He sends, we are to regard them as gifts. As gifts more precious than the happiness we wish for ourselves.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families who appreciate vintage cinema experiences and don't mind limited movie choices. The single-screen format and historic charm create a unique atmosphere, but the theater's tendency to show one film for extended periods makes it less suitable for families wanting variety or the latest releases.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Doors lock after screenings start - avoid leaving mid-movie as re-entry may not be possible
⏰Only one movie plays at a time, often for weeks - check programming before visiting
🎟️Consider eating before arrival as concession quality (popcorn, hot dogs) receives poor reviews
πŸš—Historic single-screen theater with 193 seats - more intimate than multiplex experience

β€œNice little place. The theater and bathrooms were very clean and the people I interacted with were friendly. Just a heads up: they lock the doors after the screening starts, so if you go outside you might get locked out and there might not be someone at the counter to let you back in.”
