Tip: To hear the sound of the movie, you’ll need to use your car radio or a portable radio. You can rent a radio for $10 at the snack bar. We moved our car next to a car with a loud speaker to listen through theirs.

5. Cinespia (Hollywood Forever Cemetery)

Where: 6000 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90038
When: Almost every month there are 4-10 movies
(Sometimes they skip a month or two with no movies)

Tip: Buy tickets early online! The Cinespia movie events are more popular than I thought. That being said, arrive before they even open the doors if you want a good spot. Don’t bother getting the $20 Hollywood Forever Cemetery parking. It’s expensive and it takes forever to park. Also, bring your picnic baskets and blankets here too!
