  If your children are a little older, taking them to a movie at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is a unique experience that is truly "L.A." Every week during the summer and early fall, thousands of people crowd the lawn to see classic films projected onto a giant mausoleum. Before the flick starts, a DJ spins music while the audience enjoys food and wine--that they provide themselves.
