Here's the Aero theatre in Santa Monica where Jena Malone sleeps through her entire date with Donnie Darko and where Frank wormholes his way in next to them and finally reveals himself.

Donnie: Why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit?
Frank: Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

The theatre was built by the Douglas Aircraft Company in 1940 and the possibly apocryphal (is that redundant?) story is that it was open 24 hours for the Douglas Aircraft employees working around the clock during the war. It's still open and had a restoration in 2005.

Maybe the oddest and greatest double feature ever.
