'Last Remaining Seats' sets lineup
Films include 'Goldfinger,' 'Young Frankenstein'

This year's event will take place at the newly remodeled Million Dollar Theatre - originally built in 1914 - as well as the Los Angeles Theatre (1931) and the Orpheum Theatre (1926).

"Last Remaining Seats" first launched in 1987; this reps the 22th annual season. Events also include other entertainment such as on-stage interviews, short films and newsreels, and musical performances.
