Unique Movie Theaters
Sit back and enjoy a feature film at the coolest spots in town. Whether you're a fan of blockbusters, indie flicks or the classics, there is a theater in Dallas for every movie lover out there.
Alamo Drafthouse - Dallas/Fort Worth
This ever-expanding cinema chain originated in Austin and now has two locations in Dallas; there’s one in the Cedars neighborhood and another in Lake Highlands. Die-hard movie fans keep coming back because of their strict cinemagoing policy, reserved seating and wide selection of food and drink. Check out screening events for mainstream flicks, indie movies, oldies and cult classics.
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.
Cinépolis
When you catch a movie at Cinépolis Victory Park, you're not just watching a movie, you're taking in a luxury movie-going experience. With reclining leather seats, full waiter service at the push of a button, and a full bar, the Cinépolis experience is for those looking for an enhanced movie-watching show.
Highland Park Village Theatre
Intimate in size and elegant in feel, Highland Park Theatre is a great escape from large and over-crowded movie theaters. Alongside screenings of the most talked about Hollywood movies, you’ll have access to free valet and a bar and lounge on the ground floor. Make it a date night by adding on dinner at a nearby restaurant – there’s various option in Highland Park Village, including the popular Bistro 31. Highland Park Village is a member of Visit Dallas.
Inwood Theatre
From big blockbusters to cult classics, Inwood Theatre has something for everyone. This art deco-themed cinema is a funky spot in Inwood Village that has been bringing entertainment to the public for years. Be sure to grab a drink from the bar and catch a movie in the screening lounge, a giant theater full of comfy couches to cuddle with your person.
Studio Movie Grill
Studio Movie Grill (SMG) combines first-run movies and event cinema, with in-theater dining from an extensive American Grill menu and full-service bar. At the push of a button, place your order with an SMG team member directly from your seat and have your food and beverages delivered before and during the show.
The Texas Theatre
Located in Oak Cliff, the Texas Theatre is not just any old cinema, but is also a Dallas landmark. This is the historic site where Harvey Lee Oswald, the man who assassinated John F. Kennedy, was arrested. Appropriately, the theater is now home primarily to horror films and the classics. You can also catch the occasional art house film or concert. And don’t forget to pop into the bar for a cocktail before you leave!
