Though Orson Welles is actually cremated, (his ashes have been spread on the rural estate of a retired bullfighter), this Los Angeles cemetery hosts the gravesites of many celebrity artists, including Mel Blanc, and Dee Dee Ramone.

There seems to be a nasty rumor going around that a classic "Dinner & a Movie" date is just so passe that no girl will ever be impressed by it. This may be true with those big city gals in Des Moines, but things are simpler here in our little city by ...

Ready for a close up with your date? Head over the the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, resting place of such Hollywood heavweights as Rudolph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks and Cecil B. DeMille. During the summer months, you’ll find the weekends there home to Cinespia , screenings in the cemetary. Not limited to zombie flicks, you’re just as likely to see His Girl Friday or Harold and Maude , so you might even forget where you are. Ok, probably not. But you can bring booze. So, you might actually forget where you are.

In the summer months, Hollywood Forever hosts Cinespia, an evening film series where cult classics are projected onto the wall of one of the cemetery’s mausoleums (it sounds much creepier than it actually is). Attendees come armed with picnic dinners, booze, and blankets—the perfect recipe for a romantic night, that is unless you have a run-in with some zombies. Just kidding.

Los Angeles is way overpopulated (the traffic and ridiculous property values are a testament to that,) and as a result there are long lines for anything worth waiting for and in some cases some things that are definitely NOT worth waiting for). That be...

Every Saturday night Cinespia shows movies here, and every Saturday night it gets crowded as HELL. I’ve been turned away from this place more times than I’ve actually been admitted. Leave EARLY, people. I’m not kidding.
Saturday night traffic on Santa Monica Boulevard has become crazier than Britney Spears since Cinespia started screening outdoor films at Hollywood Forever Memorial Park (it’s really not as blasphemous as it sounds). So if you want to be able to munch on your picnic dinner and drink a bottle of wine while you watch cult classics like “The Graduate” and “East of Eden,” under the stars get there EARLY.
