Do It. A movie at the Vista.

The Vista theater in Los Feliz is great for several reasons. The single-screen theater that dates back to the 1920's is featured in two of my favorite films, True Romance (1993), and Throw Momma from the Train (1987).

Secondly, while the ArcLight now charges $15.50 for a ticket, the recently restored Vista is incredibly affordable at $6.50 for showtimes before 6:00 p.m., and $9:50 after 6:00 p.m. (less for children, students, and seniors).

Nearby, just across the street, are Uncle Jer's, a cute card and gift shop for browsing and shopping, and also a Rudy's Barbershop. There's also a cafe in the Vista building if you're in the mood for a latte.

Currently Kick-Ass is playing at the Vista - 1:15, 4:15, 7:00, and 9:45 p.m.

The Vista is located at 4473 Sunset Blvd. in Los Feliz. Info: (323) 660-6639
