A great local theatre that supports independent and foreign films alike. Usually also hosts a blockbuster or two as well. It's a smaller venue so don't expect it to have huge screening rooms with the top notch recliners or 3D, but it does have a very cozy vibe to it. The staff are mostly young, fun, and kind. I've seen some great movies here that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise, I'm grateful for this theatre! Edit: Ask them about the gremlin in their popcorn, it's DEFINITELY from a Christmas movie
Great place to see independent and foreign films. Prices are a little cheaper than the big theater chains. No spoiled person's lounge chairs, but that is made up for with a greater variety of film choices. Go to the larger chain theaters to see the blockbuster science fiction and superhero movies for a larger screen and better sound system. See everything else here... If you are in a rush, just remember the theater entrance is downstairs. Occasionally the parking lot is somewhat full, so you might need to drive a little for an empty space to open or be found. There are usually always spaces however. Free parking when many businesses on Ventura Blvd have meter parking... Sure, it could use some upgrading, but get over it, the ticket prices reflect it... BTW the theater chain is named after Carl Laemmle, the great film producer of the silent movie era and co-founder of Universal Studios, responsible for The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Phantom of the Opera, in addition to having his involvement with the talkies Frankenstein and Dracula. I believe the chain might still be in the family.
It's been a few years since I've been here but it won't be again! I loved my visit!! Friendly people serving popcorn WITH REAL BUTTER, super comfy, cushy seats, and all the art house movies you could wish for I just saw Past Lives and it reminded me why I love Indy films so much. I'll be back soon!
The movie, Golda, was great, but I really prefer Studio seating. Although I could see okay, the seat in front of me was always in my view. The studio seating I have nothing in my way.
Good art films. Easy parking. Small theaters. Very pleasant people working there.
Very nice theater. Comfortable padded seats, reasonable prices. We saw an excellent movie, "Turn Left at the End of the World." It was a presentation of the Jewish Film Festival. It was about some Jewish families who emigrated to Israel from Morocco and India, and how they interacted in the small town in the desert where the only work was on the assembly line of a soda bottle factory. I recommend both the theater and the movie. And there's plenty of free parking.
Good foreign films. Be a cinephile. Don't mind subtitles. Parking tricky. Not great for kids.
Went to see the new Downton Abbey movie there. We got a great discount for being seniors there. The seat are fairly comfortable and the sound system was nice, but wish the screen size was a little larger. All the employees there were nice to deal with. Over all, we had a very pleasant time there.
The Laemmle is a quaint, nice, small/good-sized, independent movie theatre in the Encino Town Center. The seats are very comfortable. It’s never too crowded. Having hypersensitive hearing, I appreciate that the audio/sound for the movies isn’t blasting, unlike how it is for big/commercial theaters. It’s loud and you can definitely hear it clearly, but not too loud and for the most part it doesn’t make me feel like I have to cover my ears. Just in case, I always car earplugs. In a normal movie theater I always have to put in earplugs, earbuds, tissue or some type of sound muffling ear cover/sound blocker because the sound is blasting. The Laemmle is a perfect small theater. The intro the part where they say to silence your phones and etc is adorable and very fun/cute. The women’s bathroom looks a bit older sort of looks like it might fit in a school, but is clean and works. I always enjoy watching movies when I go there.
I had one of the worst experiences of my life watching an Indian movie in this Encino location. I drove far from Down Town Los Angeles to find a seat in the front row, and parents brought their three-year-old crying children with iPads to an ultraviolet film. I spoke with the manager, and he got defensive, asking me to confront the parents by telling them to take away the IPADS. I could never do something like that. My movie experience was spoiled, and my money was wasted. I'll never go back to the Laemmle Theaters in my entire life.
