Orpheum Theatre

The L.A. Conservancy offers a delightful summer time machine in the form of classic films, screened inside Downtown’s grand old movie palaces throughout the month of June. This year’s lineup includes The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The Seven Year Itch at the Orpheum on June 1, Bullitt  and Gaslight at the Los Angeles Theatre on June 8, and From Russia with Love and Mi Vida Loca at the Palace Theatre on June 15. Most screenings include a special introduction and a post-film Q&A, and there are also ticket bundles that add in a proper theater tour.

The singer, songwriter and guitar player has been synonymous with quality music since he was a mod icon in the post-punk and new wave era when he was the frontman for the Jam and king of blue-eyed soul with the Style Council.

Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel’s slick, spacey compositions are best appreciated with a pair of headphones (or during sexy time), but that shouldn’t stop you from watching the French duo set the mood at the Orpheum. The pair is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its stellar debut, Moon Safari, by playing it in full.
