Ok, I farked up. I forget about the international Farkers out there. Sorry.

As long as it has stadium seating and an icee machine, I'm set.

You forgot Poland.

Fails to compare. The Alamo Drafthouse (new window)

Does your theater have a strict policy on being quiet, and no cell phones?
Does your theater have a beer menu?
Does your theater serve Thai Chicken Noodle Salad?
Will they bring ice cream to your seat?
Does Quentin Tarantino show up to host Spaghetti Westerns?
When's the last time you had a Muppet Sing-a-long?
Did you get a golden ticket in a bar of chocolate when Willy Wonka was shown?
Do they host a "Road Show" at the location of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and serve BBQ?
Maybe they showed Deliverance at the end of a canoe trip, and had the guy there who says "Squeal Like a Pig" on sight for autographs and photos?
Goonies in a Cave?
Nasfurato at the Cemetery?
Close Encounters AT Devil's Tower?

I didn't think so.

Does your theater have a strict policy on being quiet, and no cell phones? Yes
Does your theater have a beer menu? Yes and wine and liquor
Does your theater serve Thai Chicken Noodle Salad? Not entirely sure
Will they bring ice cream to your seat? Not that I know of. But, the staff will feed your parking meter for you.
Does Quentin Tarantino show up to host Spaghetti Westerns? Not yet
When's the last time you had a Muppet Sing-a-long? I think it was after the longest running showing or Rocky Horror. Bring rice. There's a wedding.
Did you get a golden ticket in a bar of chocolate when Willy Wonka was shown? No. But, I'm sure someone did.
Do they host a "Road Show" at the location of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and serve BBQ? No. But Dahmer lived just across town from the Oriental.
Maybe they showed Deliverance at the end of a canoe trip, and had the guy there who says "Squeal Like a Pig" on sight for autographs and photos? Ok?
Goonies in a Cave? Again. Rocky Horror.
Nasfurato at the Cemetery? Why?
Close Encounters AT Devil's Tower? In Wyoming?

I didn't think so.

I'm glad you didn't think so.

Everyone does Rocky Horror. There's a theater in Akron Ohio that Does Rocky Horror.

And Yes to Wyoming. They also did Repo Man at a Repo Lot in Cali, and a host of other cool events on location.

Nasfurato: Because it's a creepy vampire classic.
At least your are glad.

Nobody has a stricter quiet policy than the Alamo. The Texter (new window)

Ahhh...the Alamo Draft House. They have one in Houston but it's way the hell on the other side of town from me so I don't get out there too often. It's the only place I've ever seen Holy Grail Ale on tap. And the cheesy 80's commercials and such before the film are awesome.

Cinerama in Seattle is pretty cool.

Jamdug!: Cinerama in Seattle is pretty cool.

I see my work here is done.

Fark that. The Warren Theater here in Oklahoma is great.

Mentat: Fark that. The Warren Theater here in Oklahoma is great.

Meh. It's ok.

I really like the Tampa Theater. Cool architecture, an organ, full liquor bar, and I saw Burt Reynolds present a showing of Smokey and the Bandit to an enthusiastic full house. He even drove up in a Trans Am. Movie-going doesn't get any better than that.

And no one can ever accuse Tampa Theater of being subtle.

My favorite theater plays awesome indie and low-budget films, and has a full blown bar and an awesome restaurant connected. Yeah, the seats are beat up, and it only has one screen, but I'd watch all my movies there if I could.

BackwardsHatClub: I'm lucky to live in Florida which has the Muvico chain, probably the best of all the chains out there.

[imgsg.jobing.com image 326x256]

Big screens, stadium seating, digital 4k projectors, good stuff.

Muvicos are indeed very good. I live in St. Pete and we pretty much only have the Muvico and the Beach Theater, and both are pretty awesome. Can't imagine the Muvico can stay forever in that deserted BayWalk disaster though. Beach Theater is still better though for an overall experience, if not the most up-to-date technology.

Calmamity: Mentat: Fark that. The Warren Theater here in Oklahoma is great.

Meh. It's ok.

It's not bad, but the balcony is crazy expensive. The Drafthouse is pure awesome.

WTF is up with the NYC one being list-worthy? 12 foot screen and DVD? I have a 10 foot screen and Blu Ray. I have the popcorn maker too.

P.S. Phoenix Farkers may agree with me on this -- Harkins Theatres isn't particularly noteworthy, except that unlike AMC, it's a family-owned chain that DOESN'T rip customers off. You can get the tickets for $7.50 at Costco. Buy a plastic cup and get $1 refills all year. Buy a t-shirt and get a free popcorn when you buy tickets.

Phoenix probably had the best movie theatre in the West. The Fox Theater. The city tore it down and built a bus station. I wish they would have shot everyone involved in that destruction.
