The Stadium Theatre in Torrance is seen in George Hickenlooper's "Dogtown" (Stone Canyon Entertainment, 1997). The film, about a Hollywood actor who comes back to his small hometown, stars Trevor St. John, Mary Stuart Masterson, Rory Cochrane, Davis Shackelford and Karen Black.
When the theatre was last in business it was called the Pussycat. For the film, the vertical was changed to make it called the Terra. In the shot above that's Jon Favreau and Mary Stuart Masterson with the "Terra" in the distance.

See the page about the Stadium Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more information. The theatre opened in 1949 and was demolished in 2002.
