I was counting the Fox and the Bruin. Two beautiful and nostalgic places to catch the latest blockbuster -- I have so many wonderful memories of waiting in lines during college to get into Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter, on and on and on.....

"one of the best single-theater movie houses still remaining in the country" - I can count only one - the Village. Maybe/possibly the Bruin (but the new CenCity are better). With the National and Plaza no longer standing , we are left with the Crest, which has never been able to show a wide-screen film properly (but, oh so, so pretty!!!), the lame Festival, and the mediocre Regent. Sadly, the “best single-theater” no longer apples to Westwood.

Having spent many a high school weekend in the jampacked Westwood of the early 1980s and then watched it wither from the mid '80s onward, I've always considered it a matter of time before the place enjoys a renaissance. I just didn't think it would take 20 years!

I've always enjoyed Westwood Village, but parking can be a bitch. I've found a nice golden secret for those who travel to there during the day from the Valley. It's called the Metro 761 Rapid and it's a nice peaceful, never too crowded bus ride on an articulated rapid bus. It might take a little longer, but it's relaxing, especially with the no need to find parking factor. The only problems with it is that it does not run too late into the evening and the headways are not as consistent as other rapid lines.
