Back in the day. Hey! – I remember going to Studio 35 with my brother, an art student at the time. I was about 11 years old, it was around 1972. They screened an all night Marx Brothers festival, something like five films. By the beginnig of the third film we had both fallen fast asleep in our chairs. Used to be a fairly good revival theatre back in the day, these days just a relic from the past showing mainstream films.
Great venue, but... – I love this theatre but for one important issue ? the sound quality.

Long Live the Studio – Studio 35 is a truly great movie theater -- from the kitsch collage on the women's room walls to the slices served in the back, it can't be beat. The double features are pure genius, and the vibe makes you wish every place you went could achieve the same genius retro level. Please, don't ever close.
