Entry No. 32 — the Santa Cruz file — filed under: midnight-movies

Del Mar Theatre

A 1936 art deco triplex on Pacific Avenue — restored in 2002 and now run by Landmark Theatres — still runs weekly Midnight Movies alongside its regular slate of independent and foreign films, with beer, wine, and organic popcorn instead of a concession-stand tub.

The move: Skip the 7pm showtime and catch the weekly midnight slot instead — grab a beer at the bar first, then sit under the original grand-auditorium plasterwork for whatever cult or genre pick is running that week.
