mugupo · 05-05-2009, 05:23 PM

AMC, Cinemark, Regal, or other? This apply to U.S. only.

Batman1980 · 05-05-2009, 05:26 PM

Allen theatres for me, they own every single movie theatre in this city and almost all of them in this state.

P@t_Mtl · 05-05-2009, 05:30 PM

My good friend HT in his basement, I could live there

Sussudio · 05-05-2009, 05:32 PM

there's a Cinebar in North Carolina that serves gourmet food and wine and stuff before/during the movies...it rules. only been there once (and once is all i could afford

), but it was a great experience.

the Arclight in LA is phenomenal too...like a f'kin opera house

DetroitSportsFan · 05-05-2009, 05:36 PM

Emagine Theaters are my favorite around here.

They have stadium seating and pretty much everything else the big new theaters have, along with a bar to order cocktails to enjoy during the movie.

xtop · 05-05-2009, 05:38 PM

i dunno which theater it was, but all digital and a bar and burgers and all that jazz. loved it

nothing like that around me

Aerodude73 · 05-05-2009, 05:49 PM

It's the only Main one around, though there are some Regal Cinemas in the area that I've been to a couple times. The Showcase in Providence has 16 (!!) screens, with #15 & 16 being the 2 Largest ones. So when a Major release isn't on IMAX (right next door!), I try to catch it on the #16 screen. HUGE auditorium, Massive screen, tons of speakers, plenty of room. You want to see a New ACTION flick, you go here. Luckily, "STAR TREK", is at the IMAX for 2 weeks and we already have our tix (Sunday, 1pm!)

my theater is called eagle theater i love it there!!!

johnarnold101 · 05-05-2009, 06:08 PM

The Luxor Theater in Reykjavík Iceland. Digital, killer sound, Lazy boy leather style recliners, bar in the lobby, an adjustable swing arm table to put your drink/snacks on, and not that many seats in the theater. Also, they have an intermission in the middle of the movie to get a bathroom break and get another drink or meal item.

Price of admission includes a candy item or drink. Drink for me.

jbig31 · 05-05-2009, 06:10 PM

I enjoy Celebration! Cinemas here. I really miss Studio 28, which closed in Nov 2008 the first megaplex cinema in the world. I really miss Theather 1 which held around 1000 people.

ScarredLungs · 05-05-2009, 06:55 PM

I've had the best experiences with Regal (as far as commerical theaters go). Nothing can compare to a home theater

wnicholas76 · 05-05-2009, 11:25 PM

There's only one theater chain in my area, and that's Regal. So the choice was too easy for me.

mikejet · 05-06-2009, 01:29 PM

The New Bevery in Los Angeles.

Here's why:

CaptainYoda · 05-06-2009, 04:04 PM

AMC used to be my favorite chain, with the movie watcher points and all. But one of the theaters near me is like teenage central. And not well behaved teens either. Its like going to see a movie at the monkey cage in the zoo.

So, currently Krikorian wins. Nice new theater. All digital. Great sound. And just nicer experience over all.

Teabaggins · 05-06-2009, 04:31 PM

my favorite is any theater where the crowd knows to shut up and stop using their cell phones so I don't have to yell at them and have them cry and run out while spilling their candy.

(this happened during Knocked Up, the victim was a 13 year old girl giving her friend the play by play on what was going on in the movie. the most pathetic part was that the people around her didn't have the decency to say anything so I had to turn round and yell at her from 8 rows away.)

Beer, good food, celebrities and Badass movies is what Alamo Drafthouse in Austin has to offers. I have met my heroes George Romero and Quentin Tarantino at Drafthouse’s events. The best thing is I don’t have to worry about loud people disrupting the movie because they will take your ass out.

Showing in May
