2 Screens. Built in 1969. Operated by Landmark since 1985. The Aquarius
Theatre features the finest in independent and foreign language cinema. It is
unique in both design and style, sporting two separate houses united under the
Atlantean/underwater inspired wall murals and décor. Cinematographer Haskell
Wexler and Francis Ford Coppola's feature film debuts were among the first films
shown at the theatre. Located around the corner from Stanford University in
the heart of Downtown Palo Alto, the Aquarius has the benefit of being situated
in and around some of the best dining, shopping and recreation areas in Palo
Alto.
The Aquarius is one of the few theatres in the San Francisco Bay Area to regularly
offer up midnight movies. Annually, the Midnight Madness series runs from mid-summer
to mid-fall. This series features the best in classic, cult and soon-to-be-cult
films with fun, games, and prize giveaways in both theatres on both Fridays
and Saturday nights.
