From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A revival house , rep house , or repertory cinema is a
cinema that specializes in showing classic or notable older
films (as opposed to
first run films ). Such venues may include standard repertory cinemas, multi-function theatres that alternate between old movies and live events, and some first-run theatres that show past favorites alongside current
independent films .
History
Former theaters that repeatedly showed old films, changing the titles offered daily, include the
UC Theater in Berkeley, the
Scala Theatre#Cinema (1976–1980) , Scala Tottenham Street, and
Scala (club) Pentonville Road, in London, and the
Landmark Theatres chain in Los Angeles.[
