Do It. Elizabeth Taylor tribute at the Egyptian.

It was truly sad to hear of the passing of Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor just a few weeks back. But now it's time to honor her in the best way we could: rewatching her magic on the big screen.

Beginning tomorrow, the American Cinematheque will be holding "Lovely Tumult: A Tribute to Elizabeth Taylor" at the Egyptian. Watch for screenings of all of Taylor's best works, from A Place in the Sun to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to, of course, Cleopatra.

Additionally, ticket buyers will be eligible to enter a drawing for a free DVD box set of Elizabeth Taylor classics, and all will receive $2 off admission to the nearby Hollywood Museum, where a current exhibition houses Taylor’s gold throne and palace ornaments from Cleopatra, and her blue one-shoulder gown and cape and her hat from National Velvet, among other treasures.

Relive your favorite, or watch them all for the first time -- and honor a true legend.

"Lovely Tumult: A Tribute to Elizabeth Taylor" takes place beginning Thursday, May 5 until Saturday, May 15 at the Egyptian Theatre, located at 6712 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood. Each screening is $11 each. Check showtimes here.

Check It. The Beatles' first U.S. concert.

Simply said, there will never be another Beatles. There will never be another Beatlemania (don't be fooled by the Bieber Fever), there will never be another Lennon/McCartney. And so we must cherish that which it was.

The best way to do that? Celebrate the 47th (!) anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America by checking out a screening of their first U.S. concert, something that hasn't been shown since it happened. The concert took place in Washington D.C. back in 1964, and was broadcast in movie theaters two days after the show. Now, thanks to the American Cinematheque, you'll get to see history being made, a musical revolution coming together, all in its glory. You'll even get to catch the openers -- just some little band called The Beach Boys (Lesley Gore was also an opener).

One screening's already sold out, so don't miss the other! Buy your tickets now.

The Beatles' First Complete American Concert is screening tonight at 11pm at the Egyptian Theatre, located at 6712 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood.

Do It. Lord of the Rings triple feature.

The American Cinematheque always puts on great events (like Christmas Story screenings with hot chocolate parties, or Iron Man at the Aero with Robert Downey, Jr. there).

If you're a huge fan of LOTR, you may want to be at the historic Egyptian Theatre tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. to catch a triple feature of director's cuts of Peter Jackson's trilogy. This is a combined 632 minutes of Lord of the Rings.

If you can believe it, this is in celebration of it being ten years since the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Don't fill up on popcorn so you can enjoy a pub dinner at the nearby Cat & Fiddle afterwards.

Saturday January 22 at 1:00 p.m. Tickets are $11 and available on Fandango, or at the box office.

The Egyptian Theater is located at 6712 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood.

Do It. The Shining at the Egyptian.

The American Cinematheque makes it possible to see awesome old movies on the big screen. Tonight, The Shining (1980) is playing at Hollywood's Egyptian Theater.

I've seen this classic horror film a few times, and it's visually stunning as well as terrifying. The Shining is creepy in the way of you can actually see it happening--not like zombies invading your town. Of course Jack Nicholson is fantastic, as is Shelley Duvall.

The Egyptian Theatre is located at 6712 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood.

Tickets are $11 for general admission, and available on Fandango or at the box office.

Do It. Akira Kurosawa at the Egyptian.

There's quite possibly no other Japanese auteur who can top Akira Kurosawa. The legendary filmmaker created some of cinema's most beautiful and inventive stories, from the unforgettable Stray Dog to the phenomenal The Seven Samurai. Kurosawa's films are a stable of the Criterion Collection, but now you can finally see his films on the big screen.

The American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre is presenting a two-part retrospective on Kurosawa and his films, the first part of which begins tonight with a screening of Run. Screenings of the aforementioned Stray Dog and The Seven Samurai follow, as well as High and Low, Rashomon and others. Get the full schedule here, and don't miss out.

For those who won't be able to make it out to the screenings, you can now buy the Criterion Collection's massive offering of AK 100: 25 Films by Akira Kurosawa for 25% off the $400 price tag, with $25 of that going to the American Cinematheque as a charitable donation. Helping out and indulging in cinema at the same time? Totally worth it.

Check It. Quentin Tarantino at the Egyptian.

Quentin Tarantino will be in conversation with Variety's Todd McCarthy tonight at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre. It's a double-feature evening: Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds. If Travolta's Vincent and Uma Thurman's Mia Wallace's dancing date at Jack Rabbit Slim's doesn't get you ready for Valentine's Day, I'm not sure what will.

I haven't yet seen 'Inglourious', but am looking forward to being able to see it on the big screen after skipping it when it was first in theaters.

Tarantino should make it an exciting event, we'll let you know what happens!

This event is sold out.

If you want your Tarantino fix on the big screen, The Egyptian is holding a Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & Kill Bill: Vol. 2 double-feature tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. We're waiting till 2014 for Vol. 3.

Do It. Crazy Heart, Funny or Die, Princeton.

Crazy Heart at LACMA, tonight at 7:30 p.m., $12.
Everything I've heard about this new film has the word "Oscar" attached to it. "Crazy Heart" is a musical drama (complete with original music) that follows the story of Bad Blake, a down-and-out country music singer just trying to make a living. Consider it this year's "The Wrestler." Stars Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal will be on hand during this special preview screening (the film will be in limited release beginning Dec. 16) for a Q&A.

Funnyordie.com Presents the Internet 3.0 at the Egyptian Theatre, Fri. at 7:30 p.m., $10.
Can you believe it's only been two years since you first laid eyes on Pearl the Landlord? Internet viral video has never been the same, and the people who helped to change it are celebrating with a live program complete with screenings of new and old-time favorite webisodes and special guests. Where's my rent?!

Princeton at Spaceland, Sat. at 8:30 p.m., $8 (21+ only).
It's got to come down to talent and passion when you're a band with more than five years down the road, you've released EPs upon EPs, with finally an official debut album in Sept., and your music still sounds well-crafted and fresh. So it goes for Princeton, a local indie pop band headed by a set of adorable twin brothers. They'll be hitting SXSW next year; celebrate the hometown heroes now while you can.
