Palacio de la Música, Madrid

You can see commercially successful films and movie premieres in the huge main hall, which has been preserved intact since it opened in 1929, with its original old-fashioned charm and small, uncomfortable seats. It holds up to 1750 people and has disabled access. There are two smaller, more comfortable modern screening rooms downstairs. The management still commission enormous hand-painted publicity posters to advertise films on the building's facade. There are three or four daily showings, starting at 4:15p. You're assigned a numbered seat for all showings except the first of the day.
