Most Beautiful Movie Theater , that you know of, or in your area, still open..and showing movies..

Oh. I would say the Pickwick Theater in Desplains Illinois..
Seats about 1400. 80 foot cealings ..art deco style.
..opened in l928..lots of seats. and very comfortable to watch a film..

There are 3 other small theaters with the Main Theater, but it is the large theater I refer to.

1. I dunno about in the entire USA...

but around here I'd say my favorite is the Grenada. Not as nice as the Inwood but also not all glitzed up. it still has its original character I think. They have concerts there too, and all the bands I've been interested in enough to actually go see lately seem to perform there.

6. It's in Dallas.

All the coolest bands seem to play there. And they show movies there, but they also serve food, so it's not like a regular quiet theater type thing. Still... I think it's gorgeous.

On edit... there are only a couple of pics that give you any idea of the interior:http://www.granadatheater.com/indexe.html

It's kinda run down and small... I guess I have a different standard of beauty. :shrug:

3. For me, it's my very own local Tampa Theatre

Built in 1926 as one of America's most elaborate "movie palaces", the Tampa Theatre today is a fiercely protected and generously supported landmark. Designed by famed theatre architect John Eberson, the Tampa is a superior example of the "atmospheric" style of theatre design. Inside the Tampa, audiences are transported to a lavish, romantic Mediterranean courtyard replete with old world statuary, flowers, and gargoyles. Over it all is a nighttime sky replete with twinkling stars and floating clouds.

Not to mention the beautiful balcony and the Mighty Wurlitzer!
