The Los Angeles Conservancy is back with the 32nd season of its “Last Remaining Seats” festival, and the full lineup for the event (which begins June 2) has been revealed. The seven films included cover a wide range of classic, more recent and Oscar-winning films, all screened at Los Angeles' historic theaters, particularly on Broadway, which is the first and largest historic theater district listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The event will also return to downtown's historic State Theatre for the first time in 20 years, and will expand to San Gabriel, at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, for the first time ever.
Here’s the full list, including dates and locations:
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
