Before I moved within walking distance of the ArcLight Hollywood and its Cinerama Dome, I wasn’t that fussy about where I went to see a movie. A moviegoer browses the stacks of film choices at the ArcLight Hollywood in April 2011. People who would see a flick at ArcLight Hollywood would then stay in its environs and browse the vinyl, videos and CDs at Amoeba. The ArcLight Hollywood showed blockbuster action films and small, independent ones, and so it pleased a diverse crowd. The ArcLight Hollywood, a design compromise forged the last time the Cinerama Dome was under threat in 1998, is a rare case of a Hollywood remake done right.
