Your A-List: Best Movie Theater

Well, the four winners tell you something right away.

Ranked from 1 to 4 in the A-List reader poll for Best Movie Theater were Alamo South Lamar (40 percent), Alamo at the Ritz (11 percent), Alamo Lake Creek (10 percent) and Alamo Village (7 percent).

Three of those belong to the original Alamo theater group founded by Tim and Karrie League. Lake Creek was part of the first franchise wave. A second regional expansion is underway.

We don’t have to tell why all four Austin outlets are loved. Recite the formula: Movies, food, drink, fun and respect. (The final element reflects the founders’ devotion to the cinematic experience. When they say “no talking,” they mean it.)

Tying for fifth place at just over 4 percent were the Bullock Museum’s IMAX and Tinseltown Pflugerville.

Taking 3 percent or less were the Paramount Theatre, Regal Gateway, Regal Arbor, AMC Barton Creek Square, Cinemark Hill Country Galleria, Regal Westgate, Dobie, Galaxy Highland, Cinemark Southpark, City Lights, Cinemark Cedar Park, Cinemark Round Rock, Regal Metropolitan, Regal Lakeline Mall, Chestnut Square, Showpace, Millennium, Tinseltown South and Starplex.
