What to Love in L.A. Today

Free Movies: If you find yourself near Miracle Mile today around 1 pm, head to LACMA’s Bing Theater to check out this week’s Tuesday matinee, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. You can see this Academy Award-nominated film, which features two of the 20th century’s most iconic performers (Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, if you’re having a brain sneeze), for only $2. That’s way cheaper than going to the movie theater, and you don’t even have to wait for Netflix to mail it to you. If you’re like me and you take your time getting around to seeing classic movies, $2 is a great motivator for two hours’ entertainment.

Bing Theater, LACMA, 5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles; 1 pm; $2, $1 seniors.
