West LA, in Westside
Laemmle Royal
Cinema · 11523 Santa Monica Blvd
The Laemmle cinema on the north side of Santa Monica Boulevard at Colby, just west of the 405, where the chain's foreign-language releases tend to open.
Laemmle Theatres was established in 1938 by Kurt and Max Laemmle, and the company has spent more than seventy-five years on a single stated commitment: quality film without regard to genre or provenance. The Royal is where that reads most clearly on a given week.
Screenings here regularly come with a director or a critic on stage afterward, and the same title often plays the chain's Encino venue in the same week. This end of Santa Monica Boulevard is low-rise and unglamorous, which suits a cinema that sells on the films rather than the lobby.
