The Louis Malle film "The Lovers" was the subject of a famous First Amendment case about alleged obscenity that ended in a Supreme Court verdict ("I know it when I see it") favorable to the theater owner. The theater, which used to show "art" (i.e., foreign) movies, is now a Christian church.
A couple of months ago, someone rented the theater for a lecture recital on the Goldberg Variations.
