Day 42: The Aero Theater

I love the Aero Theater.  In the middle of gentrified Montana Avenue, the poshest shopping strip in Santa Monica, sits the funky old Aero.  It's not modern, the popcorn's not great, the movies range from cool to cult classic, to totally avant garde foreign films.  In truth, I seldom get to go to any of these groovy events.  But I love that the Aero is there, offering cultural fare that flies in the face of Disney and the big Hollywood theater chains that are governed by box office.  Here are a sampling of some of their shows for December:

Thursday, December 27:30 PM EXPERIMENT IN TERROR & DIE! DIE! DARLING with Stefanie Powers In Person

Friday, December 37:30 PM APPLAUSE with Paprika Steen In Person

Saturday, December 47:30 PM THE SEVEN SAMURAI

Sunday, December 54:00 PM THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Wednesday, December 87:30 PM SOUTH OF THE BORDER with Oliver Stone In Person

Thursday, December 97:30 PM WHERE THE DAY TAKES YOU (IFTA Anniversary)

Friday, December 107:30 PM GOODFELLAS & MEAN STREETS

I once took the boys to see Fiddler on the Roof when they were 5 and 8.  Although we didn't make it all the way through to the end, it was pretty fantastic.  Hopefully over winter break we will make it to at least one show.
