According to Landmark Theatres the theatre is no longer owned by Samuel Goldwyn and is now part of the Landmark chain.

Everytime I’m having a burger at “The Apple Pan” I think of how it used to taste better after watching a movie in those rocking seats.

The Aero was such a great theatre until the Northridge earthquake, and they did renovations, putting in new seats that were so awful – They were too small and extremely uncomfortable… especially for a double-bill. I used to check their listings first and after they messed it up I rarely went… and I noticed I never saw it full anymore. I’m happy it’s being rejuvenated and looking forward to it.

This is such a well run theatre. They have a very spirited staff who are always pleasant, efficient, courteous and often fun, sometimes with adornments to match the movie as they did with “Blair Witch”.

I was so afraid when it closed that it would be gone but Culver City is amazing at keeping their history intact. We are grateful. In the 80s I loved going there mostly for horror and cheesy faire and was sure to wear shoes and never put your popcorn on the floor, ‘cause it was so scuzzy that I was sure cockroaches ran across your feet while watching “Chucky” kill. Fond memories.

There was a time during the 80s when they were showing the double bill for 49 cents and on Tuesdays Free Popcorn. I wondered how the hell they could do that. I went.
