Boulevard Nights Enjoy a short pre-show before the film. Michael Pressman’s Boulevard Nights was an early example of realistic gang life portrayed in a major studio film. Filmed largely on location in East Los Angeles, it follows a pair of brothers — one older and level-headed, the other younger and impulsive — who struggle to overcome their decaying inner-city environment dominated by gang warfare. Its initial release arrived with fears of violence and protests at theatrical showings not unlike Walter Hill’s The Warriors (released one month earlier), prompting Wb to offer theater owners additional security as a protective measure. Restored in 4K and accompanied by Lalo Schifrin’s unforgettable score, the film roars back to theaters in the form it always deserved. Doors open fifteen minutes before showtime. Secure Paid Parking is available at 5301 Sierra Vista Ave. The Fine Print: Tickets are valid only for the listed film, date, and showtime.
