Mine is: www.angelfire.com/nh/claremontcinema
Just a simple no-frills(free server)site with showtimes and links. The main reason for doing this is that we get a lot of customers outside the local calling area, and it saves them a toll call. When I started my first website about four years ago, I tried trivia contests and such, but it didn't fly. People just want the information-and you never get any feedback from them until you forget to update right away one week.

Hey Steve,
Is that the Senator that has the pair of Bauer U-2's? I was dissapointed that there were no booth pics. In fact most of the theater web sites seem to lack booth shots.

Check out www.tripnet1.se/~adler/draken/

It's a site about the theatre where I work, the Draken in Gothenburg, Sweden. The pages are by a former Draken projectionist, a real 70mm/Cinerama fanatic. Don't forget to have a look at his widescreen pages while you're at it.

I have created a web page about theatres in my area (Huntsville and Decatur, AL). We have Carmike and Regal theatres. The site is now over 2 years old, and I've tried to make it a repository of technical and historical information, as well as providing showtimes and projection quality ratings. It's at http://home.hiwaay.net/~criswell/theatre/
Feedback, criticisms, and suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Important note added 2001/11/29: The site can now be reached by using the url http://hsvmovies.com .

If you like stepping back in time, try http://www.99w.com

Select Cameo to see the only single screen theatre I've ever seen, with TWO projection booths. (OK, OK, Cinerama has three, but you'll get the picture)

The Radio City Music Hall site has an IPX -360 degree picture of the booth. I was suprised at how empty it looked. The picture is not a real good one, as only one projector is visible.

What surprised me is that this is directly next to the VIP booth, and it appears there is a window in that room that overlooks the booth.

Among some arthouse chain sites:

Laemmle Theatres - includes a rental page giving auditorium size, projection and sound formats, seating capacities. http://www.laemmle.com

Camera Cinemas in San Jose - gives you any information you would probably ever need to know about their theatres, their movies, upcoming schedules, and then some. Very well maintained site, always being updated. http://www.cameracinemas.com

Landmark Theatres - gives bios on each of theatres, some history involved. http://www.landmarktheatres.com

The Crest in Sacramento - calendar not well-updated, but has lots of pictures and theatre rental information that lists every piece of projection and sound equipment it possesses. http://www.thecrest.com
