Nuart Theatre celebrates 50 years as LA’s home of the 'cult' Midnight Movie. How ‘Pink Flamingos,' 'Rocky Horror’ and 'Eraserhead' helped build its rep as a destination for arthouse films.
Why it matters: The Nuart Theatre opened in 1930 like so many movie theaters did back then. There was a big premiere, lots of lights, music and fanfare. The film was Sweethearts on Parade starring Alice White, and big silent film stars like Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford were in attendance.
For decades after it was considered just another “sub-run neighborhood theater,” according to a local theater blog. That is, until group that would become known as Landmark Theatres bought it in 1974. Offbeat — and sometimes "repulsive" — films would showcase, helping build Nuart's reputation as an arthouse.
Why now: The Nuart is celebrating its 50th anniversary of being owned by Landmark this year and it is still LA's home of the Midnight Movie, like the long-running Saturday screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's being featured in How to LA's 10-part podcast series, Revival House.

The Nuart Theatre opened in 1930 like so many movie theaters did back then. There was a big premiere, lots of lights, music and fanfare. The film was Sweethearts on Parade starring Alice White, and big silent film stars like Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford were in attendance.
It got a “beautiful remodel” in the 1940s, says theater historian Ross Melnick, that left us with the three-cornered Art Deco marquee and the sunburst terrazzo out front that still adorns the Nuart today.
An arthouse rep is built
“Every theater in Los Angeles, especially all these rep houses, have a history that's not consistent, “ says Melnick. “They have a history that's related to the changes in the neighborhood, the changes in the city, the changes in moviegoing, and then they just have histories related to the people who ran them.”
The Nuart changed hands a couple of times and, at one point in '40s and '50s, showcased international films from Latin America and Japan, driven by the interests of nearby students from UCLA and Santa Monica College. But for decades the Nuart was just seen as another “sub-run neighborhood theater,” according to a local theater blog.

That is, until a group that would become known as Landmark Theatres bought it in 1974.
“They got the L. A. first-run engagement of Pink Flamingos,” says longtime former programmer at The Nuart, Mark Valen. “But it was a midnight show. Midnights only because, you know, it's such a weird movie.”
Or, as critics called it, “one of the most vile, stupid and repulsive films ever made.
"In Pink Flamingos, famed drag queen Divine (aka criminal Babs Johnson) has just been named the “filthiest person alive,” and some nasty rivals try to come for her title.
And, really, it just gets nastier from there.
The film had been running in New York for about a year but never on the West Coast. When it premiered at the Nuart, Valen remembers Divine showing up on a motorcycle with a trash truck in tow. Out of the back of the truck emerged a group Valen recalls as the Cycle Sluts.
“They were all dressed in leather biker gear and made up with their wigs and stuff and they, you know, did a little dance in front of the theater,” he says. “It was amazing.”
And a success.
Pink Flamingos ran as the midnight show at the Nuart for years after that and helped build the theater’s reputation as a destination for arthouse film.
“It’s legacy, I would say, is really bold, edgy and eclectic,” says Landmark Theatres president Kevin Holloway, noting that after 50 years of being recognized for this, it’ll probably never change.
“We're just excited to be at year 50, and to be able to give our audience more of what we've been doing from the past 50 years, and trying to endure for, hopefully, another 50,” he says.

The 'defining theater of cult movies'
After Divine christened the newly-owned Nuart, other cult movies like David Lynch’s Eraserhead would find a home there too.
But no film has had as lasting a run as The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
When the film first premiered in 1975 with Tim Curry as the “sweet transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania,” it was a flop. But its story, about two square lovers who get lost in a castle with a cast of characters who show them how to “give [themselves] over to absolute pleasure,” eventually found a delighted audience. The innuendo-laden musical rock numbers probably didn’t hurt, and a cult classic was born.
It soon became a must-see midnight movie complete with raucous audience participation — and props — and its appeal has never really waned. Rocky Horror is now considered one of the longest running theatrical releases in film history.
The Nuart was one of the first theaters to play the film continuously (aside from a few special hiatuses) starting in 1976.
The performance troupe that evolved in 1988 from all that audience engagement is called Sins O’ The Flesh. They’re now what’s known as the Nuart’s Rocky Horror “shadow cast” — actors who come out in full costume and makeup to lipsync and perform live as the film screens.
“I would come to the Nuart for Rocky Horror … and then just come to the Nuart for all of their other screenings,” says Nina Minnelli, who now performs with Sins O’ The Flesh. “The Nuar t… since probably about the '60s is the defining theater of cult movies.”
Tickets to Rocky Horror still sell out most Saturday nights.
Films from directors like John Waters, David Lynch and Darren Aronofsky helped make the Nuart. It also found a lot of success with classic films, or versions of them, like the director’s cut of Blade Runner. One of its biggest programming successes, however, says Valen, was in 1999 with a small little horror film you may have heard of: The Blair Witch Project.
“I remember driving by the theater at noon on that Friday and there was a huge line down the street waiting to buy tickets,” says Valen. “I remember a couple came up to me and they said, ‘is this just a one-movie theater house?’ And I realized, ‘wow, they're bringing in people from, like, the suburbs in Orange County who are used to only going to multiplexes.’”
He adds: “I was kind of glad to have, you know, introduced a new audience to the Nuart.”

Now in its 50th year owned by Landmark, the Nuart is still looking to provide a space for moviegoers to discover new films in a packed house full of other folks — that may or may not include dancing or screaming.
“Our core focus, even though it has evolved, has really just been being those community locations for moviegoers,” says Landmark’s Holloway.
Adds historian Ross Melnick: “I just trust it because it's the Nuart … it's always been this hallmark of arthouse cinema.”
If you are looking to catch a film at the Nuart, keep your eye on the calendar this year. There are two special film series coming up to celebrate moviegoers with great picks from the New Hollywood era of the '60s, '70s and '80s, and also from 1999, which means that, yes, you’ll be able to catch The Blair Witch Project again on the big screen.

An L.A. homelessness planning body voted today to have L.A. County officials take over the region’s yearly homeless count and handle applying for federal homelessness funds on behalf of the region — two jobs currently held by the embattled L.A. Homeless Services Authority.
The details: The decision by the L.A. Continuum of Care — in a 310 to 9 vote — comes after the Trump administration sidelined the agency, known as LAHSA, from the federal-facing roles it’s held for decades. It signals a loss of power for LAHSA and a major shift in homelessness oversight for the L.A. area, passing significant control of the region’s homelessness response to L.A. County officials.
What's next: If Tuesday’s selections are approved by a federal judge, L.A. County’s Department of Homeless Services and Housing will soon be in charge of conducting the region’s annual point-in-time homelessness tally, instead of LAHSA. The county would also take over the responsibility for submitting annual homelessness funding applications for hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, on behalf of the whole region.
The timeline for these responsibilities being fully transferred away from LAHSA is expected to be determined by a federal judge in the coming weeks.

The timeline for these responsibilities being fully transferred away from LAHSA is expected to be determined by a federal judge in the coming weeks.
How we got here
LAHSA is the city and county’s joint-powers homelessness authority. In June, HUD suspended the agency from performing its federal-facing responsibilities, citing financial mismanagement. LAHSA sued. In August, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter paused LAHSA’s suspension. He also ordered the L.A. Continuum of Care to run an evaluation process to replace LAHSA in federal roles within 60 days.
The L.A. Continuum of Care is a HUD-recognized group representing homeless services providers, government agencies and community advocates across L.A. County. It’s responsible for choosing the entity that fills these federal roles. The Trump administration’s suspension of LAHSA forced the group to consider alternatives.
L.A. County’s Department of Homeless Services and Housing was the only agency or organization that applied to manage both the homeless count and the region’s yearly application for federal homelessness dollars.
What’s next?
While a report is due to Carter on Tuesday, Oct. 13, the full selection process he ordered is not yet complete. The L.A. Continuum of Care still needs to vote on its final designations for who should succeed LAHSA in two other federal roles: managing a database that tracks unhoused Angelenos and running the system used to match people with shelter and housing. The city of Los Angeles and L.A. County are competing for those roles.
A vote scheduled Oct. 9 was delayed when over 1,000 people overwhelmed the Zoom capacity. It will be rescheduled — no date has been set yet.
The court’s preliminary injunction pausing LAHSA’s suspension is set to expire on Oct. 27.
Hollywood Park is campaigning to block Mayor Butts

Hollywood Park, the home of SoFi Stadium, is throwing its financial weight into a campaign to block Inglewood Mayor James Butts’ bid for reelection on Nov. 3, according to campaign finance records.
Why it matters: The Take Back Inglewood campaign is the latest signal that Butts’ ties to SoFi Stadium owner Stan Kroenke are unraveling as the city battles its stadiums over billboard deals and $400 million in infrastructure payments.
The backstory: Since last summer, Inglewood officials and the stadiums have been duking it out in court over the terms of their relationship and the city’s financial deals with billboard operator WOW Media. Judges have ruled in favor of the WOW arrangement, but last month voided the city’s contract with Hollywood Park.
Hollywood Park, the home of SoFi Stadium, is throwing its financial weight into a campaign to block Inglewood Mayor James Butts’ bid for reelection on Nov. 3, according to campaign finance records.
Inglewood’s stadium interests have supported Butts politically and financially in past elections, according to reporting from the LA Times, but a spokesperson for the Hollywood Park-funded campaign said stadium officials lost confidence in Butts.
“The relationship changed because, in their experience, they could no longer trust him to deal with them honestly and fairly,” Shallman said. “Political support isn’t a lifetime contract.”
Butts fired back in an interview with The LA Local that the campaign is about trying to protect Hollywood Park’s business interests.
“They believe because they have millions to spend on advertising, they can manipulate the electorate into voting against someone that has changed the entire trajectory and value of our city” the four-term mayor said, adding in a later written statement that his record speaks for itself.
Since last summer, Inglewood officials and the stadiums have been duking it out in court over the terms of their relationship and the city’s financial deals with billboard operator WOW Media. Judges have ruled in favor of the WOW arrangement, but last month voided the city’s contract with Hollywood Park.
Now, both sides are pouring millions into Inglewood’s election, looking to sway voters.
A new batch of election finance filings released Monday in response to a public records request from The LA Local show Take Back Inglewood is entirely funded by $750,000 from Hollywood Park. Butts’ own campaign, by comparison, has spent $264,085 this year out of just over $610,000 in total funds.
Fernando Guerra, a Loyola Marymount University political scientist, said the campaign dollars are unsurprising. Inglewood’s place as an international sports and entertainment hub has turned it into a prime place for a contentious, expensive election, Guerra said.
“It’s par for the course when you combine contracts and politics and cities needing to raise revenue,” Guerra said. “The higher the stakes, the more the money that’s going to be spent.”
Butts told The LA Local he sees the stadium campaigns as paternalistic, and that they treat voters as pawns in Hollywood Park’s economic interests.
Shallman countered that the campaign is not tied to the stadium development’s disputes with the city and said Butts has in the past defended the support he received from Inglewood venues. The stadium development, he said, has a natural stake in the race through its employees.
“These aren’t outsiders who parachuted into Inglewood. The venues have invested billions of dollars in the city, created thousands of jobs,” he said. Shallman added that locals have aired their own criticisms of Butts’ leadership.
Butts isn’t without his own allies. Billboard interests have put $80,000 into the mayor’s reelection campaign since January alone, with more coming from real estate firms. Butts said campaign donations don’t influence his decisions as mayor.
“My decisions are driven by the needs of our community,” Butts said.
Take Back Inglewood isn’t backing any of the five candidates running against Butts, Shallman said, at least for now.
“They reserve the right to weigh in if they feel the need,” Shallman said. “The key at this stage is to make sure voters are aware of his record.”

Hundreds of people from different faith backgrounds attended the public accountability assembly at Precious Blood Church hosted by One LA-IAF, a network of diverse religious and nonprofit institutions across Los Angeles County. The forum included Mayor Karen Bass and Councilmember Nithya Raman, along with candidates for L.A. County sheriff.
Why it matters: The key issues discussed during the event included: immigration, public safety, sidewalk repair and sex trafficking.

Los Angeles resident Noemi Tagorda’s mother and grandmother used to go to Langer’s Delicatessen, buy chicken and enjoy their meal with a relaxing picnic in MacArthur Park. Tagorda shared her story during her address to Mayor Karen Bass regarding public safety at a candidate forum on Sunday in a Westlake church.
“That’s virtually impossible for anyone to experience now,” Tagorda said. “Now when you say MacArthur Park, you think of a place that is destitute, [where] there’s just a lot of human suffering, and it’s not a place where you think you can go and relax.”

The forum included Bass and Councilmember Nithya Raman, along with candidates for L.A. County sheriff.
Parishioners like Tagorda walked up to the stage to share their stories and faith leaders then asked each candidate if they were willing to work with One LA-IAF to address the issues while giving each candidate a minute to respond.
The key issues discussed during the event included: immigration, public safety, sidewalk repair and sex trafficking.
Manuel Olvera, a member of St. Anthony Catholic Church in San Gabriel, shared the story of a friend and immigrant churchgoer who asked Olvera to share his story on his behalf due to fear.
In the story, Olvera shared that the man and his son had recently lost their jobs due to the current situation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and have been living off of their savings for months.
“It’s not just difficult trying to survive financially,” said Olvera in Spanish on the immigrant’s behalf. “It’s also having your home be a prison.”

On immigration
Councilmember Raman committed to hosting an immigration retreat and meeting with One LA-IAF. She shared that she is also an immigrant from India, who arrived in the US when she was 6.
She added that Bass proposed to cut legal defense funds in the last budget. The city council eventually approved $1.5 million in funds for the immigrant legal defense program in the final budget earlier this year.
“If I am elected mayor, I will make it higher and ensure that immigrants who are facing deportation have the resources they need to be able to respond.”
Mayor Bass made the same commitment as Raman with One LA-IAF but when it came to the topic of immigration, she chose to focus on her past work of being part of a congressional hearing alongside Congressman Robert Garcia.
“It was several months ago, but you came to me and you proposed the idea of doing a city hearing on immigration, we established a great partnership then,” said Bass to One LA-IAF. “And what we did was we actually turned it into an official congressional hearing and what I am hopeful is that in the next 25 days or so, I try not to count, we will have a change in the House of Representatives.”
Manuel Olvera shared the story of a fellow parishioner who was afraid to speak due to his immigration status during a public accountability assembly hosted by One LA-IAF at Precious Blood Church in Westlake in Los Angeles, Calif. on Oct. 11, 2026.

On public safety
Bass wants to focus on differentiating between drug dealers and drug users and fighting for residential drug treatment if elected to a second term in office.
“We need to separate those people who prey on our people, who are the drug dealers and the criminal element, from the people who are addicted to the drugs, and we need to get treatment for those people,” Bass said.
Raman shared the successes on reducing homelessness in her district and wants to center a compassionate response to the ongoing crisis.
“We have had incredible results on addressing homelessness, a 50% reduction in the number of people living on the street just last year, even as homelessness went up citywide,” Raman said. “I do not believe that a compassionate response to the crisis on our streets and the safety of our residents have to be in conflict.”
Closing statements
For the final question, organizers asked each candidate if they were willing to meet regularly to address the topics discussed, collaborate on other issues if needed and if the candidate was willing to host a retreat.
Bass said that she believes the group meets regularly with her office and agreed to not only host the retreat, but also being there in person.
“I believe the way you bring about change is from the inside and outside strategy,” said Bass. “That’s a must-do, and I also think it’s important that if you really believe in change and if you really believe in all the issues we talk about, then you’ve got to show up. You’ve got to be there. It’s not just about your idea or all of that, but you have to be there.”
Raman said that the needs in the city are so great and city resources are not enough to address them, so she is happy to commit to partnering with One LA-IAF.
“I know from my work on the council that nothing succeeds without partnership with the people, and so I’m deeply committed to coming to you and partnering with you before we put any of this forward, so that we face the highest likelihood of success, and so that we can lift up our city and its needs together,” Raman said.
Tagorda, who is also a parent of a student at Precious Blood school, told the LA Local that she was happy seeing people from different faiths and parts of the city participating in the event.
“It’s really great to have that cross-religious platform of all the different religious organizations coming together and sharing the same stories and working together to get the government’s attention on issues that are important to us as a community,” said Tagorda.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis was sentenced Tuesday to 40 years to life in prison for orchestrating the murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur who was gunned down off the Las Vegas Strip over 30 years ago.
Why now: The killing went unsolved for years until Davis, a former leader of the South Side Compton Crips, gave interviews and published his role in the shooting in his 2019 tell-all memoir.
The backstory: On the night of Sept. 7, 1996, Shakur was in the passenger seat of a black BMW with music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight when a white Cadillac pulled up at a red light, and shots erupted. Shakur was shot multiple times and died six days later, while Knight survived.
Duane “Keffe D” Davis was sentenced Tuesday to 40 years to life in prison for orchestrating the murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur who was gunned down off the Las Vegas Strip over 30 years ago.
Davis, 63, was convicted in August of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon. He is the only person ever charged in the death of Shakur, whose popularity was peaking at age 25.
Prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo said Tuesday that whatever sentence the court imposes, Davis is “guaranteed to die” behind bars.
“It’s not just about losing a family member,” DiGiacomo said as Shakur’s sister Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur nods her head in the audience.
The killing went unsolved for years until Davis, a former leader of the South Side Compton Crips, gave interviews and published his role in the shooting in his 2019 tell-all memoir.
DiGiacomo said Davis was trying to profit off a killing that he committed, and for that he does not deserve the minimum sentence.
“In my mind he deserves the maximum possible sentence,” DiGiacomo said.
Davis spoke briefly in court, telling Judge Carli Kierny he wants items back that police took from his house, including his pictures. Asked if there was anything else he wanted to say, Davis said: “No, I’m good.”
Davis’ lawyer, Michael Sanft, said he plans to appeal the verdict. Sanft said prosecutors waited too long to bring the case.
On the night of Sept. 7, 1996, Shakur was in the passenger seat of a black BMW with music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight when a white Cadillac pulled up at a red light, and shots erupted. Shakur was shot multiple times and died six days later, while Knight survived.
Shakur is considered one of the most influential and versatile rappers of all time and had a burgeoning film career as an actor at the time of his death. His legend has only grown since. His songs still resonate among fans with themes of hardship, love and Black struggles.
In his memoir, Davis explained how Shakur and his entourage beat up Davis’ nephew hours before the shooting in Las Vegas. He said he sought retaliation, and that he was in the passenger seat of the Cadillac and passed the gun to the backseat, where shots were fired. Davis had spoken to detectives years before but avoided prosecution because of an agreement he made with law enforcement.
During the weekslong trial, prosecutors relied on Davis’ own statements he made to law enforcement and documentarians. They argued Davis orchestrated the shooting and provided the gun used in Shakur’s death, which was the result of a rivalry between the South Side Compton Crips and Mob Piru. Davis’ defense attorney pointed to a lack of physical evidence that connected his client to the 30-year-old crime, and he portrayed Davis as a liar who was trying to make money.
After nine days of hearing testimony in August, the jury deliberated for three hours before turning over the guilty verdict.
Shakur was an icon, a brother
Shakur’s family spoke at the sentencing, including his siblings Maurice “Mopreme” Shakur and Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur.
Following the verdict, prosecutor Binu Palal said that to many people, Shakur was an icon or an idea, “but to the family, Tupac Shakur was a brother, a son, a cousin, a loved person ripped from them 30 years ago.”
Palal said the family had to sit through years of Davis “bragging about killing someone they loved.”
“They loved that man. And the arrogance that Mr. Davis had in expressing his joy in killing that man ultimately was his undoing,” Palal said.
Prosecutors say they have insufficient evidence to charge anyone else
Davis is the only person to be charged and convicted in the killing of Shakur. The three other people who allegedly were in the Cadillac — including Davis’ nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, who Davis said was the one who pulled the trigger — have died.
Sean “Diddy” Combs and his alleged role were brought up often throughout the trial. Witnesses testified Combs used members of the South Side Compton Crips for security for Bad Boy Records. In his book and public statements, Davis alleged Combs offered him money to kill Shakur and Knight. Combs, who is serving a four-year prison sentence after being convicted of prostitution-related offenses, has repeatedly denied any involvement in the death of Shakur.
Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson has said his office doesn’t believe it has sufficient evidence to charge anyone else.
“But like any other case, if we come into more information, more evidence, we can always consider filing additional charges,” he said following the guilty verdict. “But today, we don’t believe that’s the appropriate move to make.”
