Your favorite cinemas shared some common themes -- like booze, distinctive décor and comfy seats. But there were also elements such as historic heritage, personable staffs, and other added bonuses which make these prime destinations for movie buffs and locals alike.
In honor of our 20th celebration, we present 12 of the top theaters from around the country, as nominated by you. Read on to learn more, or to plan what would make for one heck of a road trip.
Theater: Alamo DrafthouseLocation: Austin, TX
Best Feature: Food, personality and atmosphere
Our Readers Say: Adam Jorgensen commented, "What other movie theater would have a flame thrower in the parking lot for the showing of 'Rambo'? Or bury you six feet under the ground for a viewing of 'Buried'?"
On Twitter, @haaspolicy confirmed the Drafthouse's appeal of "Great movies, food and an awesome beer list. If you've been there you know."
Reader Charles says the theater offers "special feasts to accompany movies (like chocolate feast with 'Chocolat,' wine tasting with 'Sideways') and special screenings of cult/exploitation films, often with celebrity appearances. The atmosphere is great, the staff friendly, food delicious, and their pre-trailer shows are absolutely hilarious."
Sometimes going to the movies isn't just about the films themselves. All the experiences of the theater -- the marquee, the ushers, the smell of popcorn filling the air, the $9 boxes of Sno-Caps -- contribute to making a trip out of it for millions each year. And since plenty of theaters around the country have a history and personality of their own, Moviefone wants to hear about them for our first-ever Moviegoer's Choice Awards.
