Forget the multiplex and go see a film at a vintage theater. Often called “The Hamptons of Hollywood,” the popular enclave of Newport Beach in Orange County has attracted celebrities for decades thanks to its convenient access to the entertainment capital of the world and the promise of privacy. Newport Beach is also home to a historic theater straight out of Hollywood's golden era. Opened in 1938, the Art Deco Lido Theatre lets you enjoy movies and the splendor of another time. Meticulously restored, it features rare Catalina Tile and displays period movie art. But its sound system is modern and the Lido serves as a venue for the acclaimed annual Newport Beach Film Festival . The festival showcases hundreds of features, short films, documentaries, and animated films from around the world.
