An awesome place to see a movie. Cineramadome is, besides Mann Chinese Theater, the other truly massive movie theater in Los Angeles. Iconic 60's architecture. And it was featured in Quinten Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood."

When Frank Gehry built the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain and covered the exterior in titanium I took a trip there to see it. Then, a couple years later, he did the same thing in Los Angeles when he designed the LA Philharmonic. It's an epic piece of architecture.
