Warren Jenkins and Bob Enders took me on a midnight tour from the top to the bottom of RCMH so I vote for it

I have seen one 70mm movie(Black Rain) at the Chinese.Presentation was just ok but the theater was impressive!
Only seen RCMH on tv and movies but it is a huge marvel!

I have to say the Fox in Detroit(5000)plus seats made me feel like I died and went to movie palace heaven!
It is not that well known but deserves to be!

I thought Paris was the most visited city in the world. According to World Tourism Organization (on Wikipedia), New York is #4.
Well, actually, that rateing shows it as number 3, and it dropped after 9/11 and hasn't fully recovered. Point is, RCHM is right up there with the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State building and Rockafeller Center as tourist attractions. The fact SOME people West of the Mississippi people didn't know Radio City Music Hall showed movies is just a West Coast bias thing. Studios would outbid each other to get their big releases premiered at this venue. It is said that at times studios would deal their biggiest releases for insanely low percentages just to get them on that screen.
