As the Oscars approach (Feb. 27), cinema buffs across the country race to theaters to catch the contenders. But there's more to going to the movies than just the movie, says Ross Melnick, co-author with Andreas Fuchs of Cinema Treasures: A New Look at Classic Movie Theaters (MBI Publishing, $40; cinematreasures.org). "Experience the theater as art," says Melnick, who shares with USA TODAY's Shawn Sell gorgeous historic gems, perfect for viewing today's first-runs.


Fargo Theatre
Fargo, N.D.

"The snow outside is white, but the delightful Art Deco/Moderne interior of this theater, featuring multicolored Deco mirrors and mahogany wood accents, shines in the blue-neon splendor of the 1937 remodeling. The region's leading art-house cinema has highlights that include silent-movie nights with the Mighty Wurlitzer organ." 701-239-8385; fargotheatre.org.
