Architecture: Movie Palaces
It's odd but I've never really been interested in architecture but I realized that I wasn't too crazy about the modern kind- smooth, straight, sleek, shiny- not much curves. I don't hate it per se (some of it is really interesting) but it's never really drawn my attention the way traditional architecture seems to.
I suppose it has something to do with the materials being used- metal vs wood/stone or the way it was created from nothing? I have no idea. But usually everything I like is vintage-y with some amazing pioneer history behind it.
I've never actually been inside a movie palace so this was brought about randomly because I have spontaneous urges to do things and avoid studying any chance I can get. Either way, I should tell myself to look up at ceilings more.
99% of these are movie palaces.

For anyone interested- I got the pictures from Flickr groups: Cinemas, Cinema Screens, Theaters and Cinema Architecture.
Let me know if you have any questions as to what theatre is where and what its called.
