Classic Films in Historic Theatres

Last Remaining Seats

Thank you for joining us for the 2024 season of Last Remaining Seats!

L.A.’s favorite summer tradition returned this year with an incredible lineup of films at L.A.’s marvelous movie palaces on L.A.’s Broadway.

As always, Last Remaining Seats featured everything audiences love about going to the movies: larger-than-life storytelling, a strong sense of community, and the energy of a revitalized historic theatre serving new generations of moviegoers.

We had special guests, interactive in-person experiences, plenty of photo ops, and more than a few surprises, making this Last Remaining Seats an experience we’ll never forget.

We’ll see you next year!

About Last Remaining Seats

The Los Angeles Conservancy launched Last Remaining Seats in 1987 to draw attention to the spectacular yet overlooked and underused historic theatres of Los Angeles. The film series has since become an L.A. can’t-miss beloved summer tradition.

The Last Remaining Seats volunteer planning committee helps plan our annual classic film series in historic theatres. It supports the Conservancy with selecting films appropriate for the series, creating and implementing the pre/post-film programming, events, and displays, and assisting with concessions and day-of programming needs.
