Alamo Drafthouse - Dallas/Fort Worth

Angelika Film Center
For those with a devotion to all things indie, the Angelika is where you belong. Located in Mockingbird Station, this eight-screen movie theater is dedicated to bringing independent and art films to Dallas. If you’re wanting to see something more mainstream, no problem – they provide that as well. After seeing your movie, relax with glass of wine or an espresso at the café while engaging in thoughtful discussion with your friends.
