Alamo Draft House

Is the coolest place in the world!!! It's like where movies go to die. In a good way.
You can eat and drink during the movie, but in a cool old fashioned way.  Not a stupid $16 martini Gold Crown Cinema type of way.  $5 Blue Moons. Yes.
And the people working there love movies.
And the posters are original and awesome.
And there are awesome clips before your movie, pertaining to the theme. (I.E. I saw "Anchorman 2" tonight... Why are people not talking about the ridiculousness that is this insane movie?!?.... And before the movie they showed clips of real newscasters flubbing their lines and being idiots... There were some awesome Bill O' Reilly moments worth looking up ...)
And apparently there's this thing where you like... I forgot what it's called. But it's like a grab bag. You sign up for a ticket and you don't know what movie you're going to see. And you show up at the theatre and crazy shit happens. 
IE:
Some people showed up at the theatre. Were told to get on a bus. We're driven to some deserted Texas road where suddenly... Zombies started attackin them!!!! They ran to an abandoned church where there was a big projector... And we're shown "Dawn of the Living Dead."  That's the coolest fucking surprise grab bag I've ever heard of.  When you're next in TX... Go here.
