Tell us about the movie theaters in your town

I guess I could change that but I can't remember my admin password.

The Angelika downtown is by far my favorite place anywhere to see movies. Plays foreign, arty domestic, and often the artier end of the Hollywood stuff. Very low key, clean, classy, and, most importantly, a very very low turnout of teenagers. the patronage is mostly yuppie types. I fondly remember seeing Eyes Wide Shut there where it was just me and one elderly couple who sat in the back row. Often deserted on weeknights, which is a huge plus.

The River Oaks Landmark plays all kinds of cool stuff, including classics, midnight features, etc. I fucking hate seeing movies and there and will only go if the said movie is playing nowhere else. The screens are tiny, the seats are so close together your knees WILL be touching the seat in front of you, and good luck if anyone an inch taller than you sits in front of you. It's real physical pain to see a movie there! nice old timey ambience tho.

Rice Media Center. My school's cinema. It's pretty decent. a huge screen, typical university programming. uncomfortable seats.

Other than that all that comes to mind right now is typical giant multiplexes.

I could do Austin too but im typed out.

I could do London and Paris too but it would take me all day!

I'll basically second what Ryan said (particularly OTM about Rice). However, I don't get out to either River Oaks or Angelika that much cause they are both sorta far from me (I'm carless in the 'burbs). I can get to them, but most of the time it takes too much effort to arrange a trip around that, plus school and work.

However, i can almost always find time to go the Musuem of Fine Arts. They've got a nice theatre and have a fairly eclectic program line-up (foreign & ethnic*, repertory). I mainly go for the old stuff, altough I really ought try some of the newer Foreign films. Admission is cheap too.

We've also got an Alamo Drafthouse (a second is on the way)

*by ethnic, I mean they have festivals for Jewish, Iran etc.

but there's more:
10-cinema multiplex, Regal (formerly Hoyts)
Great repertory cinema at Cornell (3 theaters) - saw 'the Passenger' there last semester
Movies on the outside of the Johnson art museum
