My three favorites are Love Me Or Leave Me, Midnight Lace and believe it or not Caprice! I can watch these flicks over and over again! Love Me is the best in every way and Doris's sheer Star power held together Caprice.
The Gem Theatre
A Great Family Experience
Unlike The Byrd Theatre’s lavish 1920s-era French Renaissance decor, The Gem, built a decade later, features Art Deco architecture. The gorgeous neon-enhanced Art Deco sign harkens back to a time when movie titles and stars’ names were shouted from giant marquis and names like Burt Lancaster, Doris Day, or Sidney Poitier drew crowds on their star power alone. The concession stand serves delicious popcorn (not the cardboard you get at the multiplex), and the balcony is always open. Even my 6′5″ inch husband is able to comfortably fold himself into the seats - a feat he always found difficult at The Byrd.

Note: Boy, do I remember the days when I lost myself in the beautiful theatres of my boyhood. Some of the theatres were like castles or palaces. Reading this article brought back a lot of memories.

One of the best for me: Romance on the High Seas (DD's very funny in it); and The Pajama Game and Teacher's Pet and . .
Ro (memytgrl), we're getting off topic talking about theatres, but they were great. It was another world, mystical, as you say. They were one of the first places to experience "Air Conditioning" in the 1940s. Carpeting was thick. You were shown to seats by an usher or usherette! In some ways the experience was inferior: people came in anytime and left when one of them said "This is where we came in"!
My first DDay was My Dream is Yours at the Texas Theatre in Dallas because we lived there for awhile. Then I caught ROTHS quickly before it left Dallas altogether, but saw all of DD's on big screens.
SF's own Alhambra has become a gym, with the marquee still there! The Fox was torn down in the early '60s to build offices with apartments above. (It had more than 4,000 seats.) Very few single screens are left.

Most of the big cities has glorious movie palaces, especially downtown. In my hometown, Kansas City, they didn't get rid of them until the multiplex idea took over in the 80s.
We had The Paramount, Lowe's Midland, The Capri, The Empire, The Studio, The Roxy, all downtown. There were other theatres down there, but they weren't first run.
But even the neighborhood movie houses were sumptuous. Other first run theatres that were not downtown were The Plaza, The Uptown, Brookside, Regency and numberous "art" theatres that showed first run foreign films.
As I said, there were countless neighborhood theates that were beautiful like the Isis, The Gem, The Castle, The Majestic, etc. Recently, I discovered that during the 30s, K. C. had many huge theatres like Detroit's Fox Theatre, where stage shows featured all of the famous stage stars like Bob Hope, Burns & Allen, etc. Now, they are huge warehouses behind downtown.

The loss of the movie palaces is just terrible. When I was growing up in Houston we already had the start of the multiplexes out in the suburbs where we lived. But luckily my parents took me to see many films at the few remaining palaces when the chance presented itself. There is nothing quite like it. I have especially vivid memories of how rich the sound was in those huge theatres. (Although, as Dave pointed out, I'm glad that we don't have the arrive/leave anytime screening schedules anymore.)
Luckily, for a town that trashes it's past for the most part, L.A. has seemed to keep quite a few of the movie palaces. You can even take a walking tour of the ones downtown on weekends.

I'm urging everyone to look at www.cinematreasures.org .. mentioned in my earlier post. Look up the theatres you remember!
In many cases, especially for larger, important theatres, there are photos and serious comments by people who were there; so if you're interested..
The change has happened very fast. Okay, for some DD fans, it's a lifetime ago, but for others, it was only yesterday..
Also, there is news of current theatres being saved, news of motion picture theatres all over the world, etc.
