1 Screen. Built in 1925. Operated by Landmark since 1976. One of the last remaining single-screen movie palaces in the Los Angeles area, the beautiful and historic Rialto Theatre is located in the heart of South Pasadena, only five blocks south of the 110 Freeway via the Fair Oaks exit. It features the finest in sophisticated studio movies, independent film and foreign language cinema in a decidedly neighborhood setting.

Sporting a unique blend of Spanish Baroque and Egyptian stylings, the Rialto was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, having narrowly missed the wrecking ball that year. It has been featured in many films and commercials, most notably Robert Altman's The Player and more recently in Scream 2. The Rialto also boasts one of the country's longest runs of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which plays regularly at midnight, alternating with other cult favorites. Read about the theatre's early years.

Stop by the Ai for some great Japanese food after the show, or take a stroll down nearby Mission Street where one can find coffeehouses, antique shops and many other dining opportunities. Also close is the 100-year old Meridian Ironworks Museum, only 4 blocks southeast of the theatre.
