The El Rey on Wilshire Blvd. appears as the site of a film premiere in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" (Dimension/Miramax, 2001). Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith aren't happy -- the film they see, "Bluntman and Chronic," is based on their lives and they're not getting compensated.
Thanks to Joe Pinney for the tip on this one. The screenshot comes from the page about the film's shooting locations on the site Filming.90210locations.
See the El Rey Theatre page on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more on this 1937 vintage theatre, now in use as a concert venue.
On IMDb: "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"
