Simply one of the best movie experiences available in L.A. Great decor, superb sound system, popcorn with real butter, comfortable seats with plenty of legroom (they removed every other row), and generally respectful audiences (probably due to the high percentage film industry folk). An added bonus is the wonderful little eatery next door (Cafe at the Vista). They have an... more

There are many wonderful things about the Vista already mentioned. In my mind it has the best of both worlds--vintage decor and feel, and updated seating and projection system. The one big plus previous reviewers have not mentioned, however, are the ticket prices. Matinees of major first-run movies are only $5. Kids get in for $4. Evening shows are $8.... more

This is what moviegoing should be all about. Great mood with the incredible Egyptian interior from the '20s. Plenty of leg room. Excellent sound system. All all the latest flicks. I live in the area, and I skip all the multiplexes, if I have a chance to see a movie at the Vista. more

You want local feel without missing out on big name theater perks? Well go to the Vista off of silverlake. I didn't know places like this still existed and the fact that they stay profitable is beyond me. But they get all the big name films so you aren't missing anything the big boys are showing. BIG pluses for spacious... more

This theatre is excellent overall. Great staff, great service, and GREAT seating. The thing is, this theatre took out pretty much every other row, giving you EXTREME amount of leg space. The theatre is BEAUTIFUL with great detail. It has an amazing Egyptian theme to it, and the picture and sound...unbeatable. I, myself give this place a 10. PERFECT! more

This historical theater, has cement in front of it's entrance, with various celebrities hand and footprints and signatures. It is located in the Silver Lake Area, now home to the legendary Vampira. Elvira Stole her entire persona, claimed it as her own creation and has made millions. Vampira (Maila Nurmi) has little money, for her persona was stolen. This theater,... more

This movie theater is definately one of the old Movie Palaces from days long past. Oddly the outside of the Vista gives the impression that it is small and modest. Walk through the doors into the theater itself though and you'll see just how modest the outside facade truelly is. The inside has a wonderful egyptian theme with giant pharroes... more
