How about a world-class experience for $5.00?
The Linwood Dunn Theater (1313 Vine Street) is the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences newest theater. Completed in 2003, the Linwood Dunn Theater a state-of-the-art screening facility with 286 seats honoring visual effects pioneer, Linwood Dunn.
While home to many "members only" events, the theater also offers programming for the general public. A Current series "Out of This World: The Science of Space Movies" series presents a screening of the 1929 Fritz Lang film "Woman in the Moon." Not your average night at the movies...
Now, the trade off in being in such a fabulous facility is no popcorn,snacks or drinks of any kind. But that's a good thing.
Complimentary parking is provided in the Academy’s lot adjacent to the Pickford Center, Please be aware that the parking facilities close 30 minutes after the conclusion of an event.

I highly recommend Fritz Lang's "Woman in the Moon." German rocket scientist Hermann Oberth worked as an advisor on this movie, which became popular among rocket scientists including Werner Von Braun, “father of the American space program” and chief architect of the Saturn V super booster that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the moon. The film also depicts the first occurrence of the "countdown to zero" before a rocket launch.
