I don't know if Alamo Drafthouse is in your area, but it's a movie theater with a very strict no talking/phones policy. If you violate that policy they promptly kick you out of the theater.

Watching movies there has really made me appreciate the benefits of the big screen again.

I’ll state it here again, but if anyone reading this lives within a reasonable distance to an Alamo Drafthouse, it is absolutely worth it.

I live in Dallas where we’re fortunate to have a half dozen of them. They’re all great, the food is excellent, staff is great, and on and on and on. I love this place and I go at least once a month probably and more during busy months.

It’s worth it!

The downside of course being the constant background noise of chewing, drinking, glasses clattering, lights under every table, and subpar quality projectors.

Can’t have it all.

Yeaaaa I go once a week and this is not a thing. I think this place literally has it all.

- Never noticed chewing / drinking / glasses

- The lights under the table is so dull I honestly don't even know where it is or how they even see it. I've looked under the table and can't seem to find it

- This may just be me but their projectors are just fine

I've not noticed any of this in my local theater, but it's possible that it happens in some locations.

Unfortunately we don't yet. I'd definitely give them my business if we did.
