PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON NAMES HIS FAVOURITE LONDON CINEMA

Calum Russell@Russellisation

Just like how every musician has their favourite record store and every artist
has their favourite gallery, nothing should come between a movie director and
their best-loved cinema. Indeed, nothing beats a plush seat that is perfectly
shaped to the curvature of your rear, with armrests that provide the perfect
amount of forearm coverage and a cup holder that covers anything from a shot
glass to a supersize shake.

Often, such favourite cinemas are ones that accompanied filmmakers throughout
their childhood or adolescence, with Quentin Tarantino having a particular
fondness for the Cinerama Dome in LA. “I grew up in Los Angeles, so I always
thought of the Cinerama Dome as a real big deal,” he told Howard Stern, “They’ve
got the biggest movie in the world,” with the iconic building being featured in
the director’s ninth movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

An icon of 1990s filmmaking, Tarantino climbed to acclaim alongside the likes of
other LA-based icons as Paul Thomas Anderson, with both directors coming to
create some of the greatest movies of the decade. Sharing a number of eccentric
nights together, the pair have an unparalleled love for modern cinema and the
landscape of LA in particular, with Anderson’s 2021 film Licorice Pizza being a
love letter to his city.

It’s surprising then that his favourite cinema doesn’t come from the rolling
hills and star-studded streets of the city, instead opting for a movie theatre
across the Atlantic. Situated in the very heart of London, Anderson has a soft
spot for Prince Charles Cinema, Leicester Square, which sits in the iconic West
End, Britain’s home of performance that contains the oldest theatre in London.



“The Prince Charles has a place in my heart,” Anderson told Time Out, “It’s the
people, the programming, the accessibility, feeling, texture… you cannot go
wrong”. Built in the early 1960s, Prince Charles is the only independent cinema
in the West End, earning cult status in an area which also features the vast
behemoths of Odeon Leicester Square and Vue cinema.

With several of Anderson’s movies earning their place on the screen of the
Prince Charles cinema, including 1999’s Magnolia and 2007’s There Will Be Blood,
the director is full of praise for the modern London landmark. Continuing, he
exclaims: “You also know that on any given day, you can close your eyes, press
your finger to the programme, and you’ll hit something great. It’s like tuning
into your favourite radio station”.

History, tradition and the preservation of independent cinema are clearly
something that Anderson holds close to his heart, often being a spokesperson for
the world of underground filmmaking. Helping to elevate the craft in the 1990s,
Anderson has since become one of the industry’s most important creatives,
pushing the boundaries of creative endeavour with each new release.

Take a look below at Tarantino, one of Anderson’s great friends, talking about
one of his own favourite cinemas in the form of the Cinerama Dome below.
