The Alamo Drafthouse has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the greatest movie theaters in the history of mankind…or at least the history of movie theaters. With their signature events, ample food and drink selection, and strict no-talking policy, they make obsolete all tawdry multiplexes and completely redefine the movie-going experience. Here’s what they’re up to this week!
Thursday February 23rd
The Princess Bride Quote-Along
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
“This thoroughly tongue-in-cheek, forever quotable, swashbuckling fairytale is by far one of our all time favorite movies. How can it not be? The Princess Bride gives us a dread pirate, insanity-inducing cliffs, fire swamps, a reluctant princess, a wily Sicilian, a six-fingered count, mawwiage, Rodents of Unusual Size, tiny Fred Savage, fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, miracles and--most importantly--TRUE LOVE! We love this movie every bit as deeply as Westley loves his Buttercup.”—Drafhouse.com
Box Wine Cinema: The Bodyguard
Alamo Lake Creek 7:00pm
“We planned this event before the recent, tragic, and too soon end of Whitney's life and now we're really glad we did. It's our perfect chance to get together and remember Whitney as she was once. Back then she was shining bright, a pop-star at the apex of her career, even in this 1992 masterpiece playing Rachel Marron… a pop star at the apex of her career. But it’s not easy at the top. Rachel has at least one really creepy stalker and her current entourage isn’t taking her safety very seriously. Enter Kevin Costner as the super stoic, straight o.j. drinking, ex-secret service agent who comes in to offer Rachel the added protection she needs. It’s far from love at first sight since Frank won’t let Rachel do anything she normally does and thinks it’s okay to make her go to brunch on Tuesday instead of Sunday. But if they never fell in love then the Grammy Award winning soundtrack wouldn’t fit and the soundtrack is the real icing on the cupcake here. ‘I Will Always Love You,’ sure, but don’t forget all the 90s pop masterpieces embedded in the audio landscape of the The Bodyguard.”—Drafthouse.com
Ladies of the 80s Sing-Along
Alamo Ritz 10:00pm
“The LADIES OF THE '80s SING-ALONG has been one of the Action Pack's most popular shows for years now, and this year we've got all of the favorites back, with a few choice new selections that haven't been featured in any Sing-Along before. So we'll have the 99 red balloons bouncing around in the theater during the song that shares a name with the props we use, and we'll have naked men falling from the balconies when the Weather Girls talk about the day when it first started raining men. But don't be surprised when you hear from Berlin or Blondie. Forever is gonna start tonight and don't ya wanna dance with somebody? (...with somebody who loves me! WOO!)”—Greg MacLennan & Henri Mazza via Drafthouse.com
Friday February 24th
Studio Ghibli Retrospective: My Neighbor Totoro
Alamo South Lamar (staring a regular run, check daily times)
“Here is a children's film made for the world we should live in, rather than the one we occupy. A film with no villains. No fight scenes. No evil adults. No fighting between the two kids. No scary monsters. No darkness before the dawn. A world that is benign. A world where if you meet a strange towering creature in the forest, you curl up on its tummy and have a nap. The Alamo Drafthouse is proud to present a retrospective series of select Studio Ghibli titles starting this February. See newly struck 35mm subtitled prints of such classics as Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro and more. This series has taken audiences by storm in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and Toronto and now we’re bringing it to you.”—Drafthouse.com
Master Pancake: Con Air
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm; 10:00pm
“Join Master Pancake as they mock the Nicolas Cage/Jerry Bruckheimer trashterpiece: Con Air (1997). It's the story of war hero Cameron Poe (Nic Cage), who goes to prison for defending his pregnant wife; when he's finally released, the plane taking him home is hijacked by a horde of nasty convicts, including Danny Trejo, Steve Buscemi and featuring John Malkovich as malevolent genius ‘Cyrus the Virus.’ But the real star of the show is Cage's impeccably coiffed mullet, strangely appropriate for a movie that shares its name with a hair dryer. Come see Master Pancake unplug Con Air! “—John Erler via Drafthouse.com
Love Bites Sing-Along
Alamo Village 11:55pm
“For [some] of us, Valentine's Day is a time to remember how we didn't even get the little ‘I choo-choo-choose you’ cards in our paper mailbox at the end of our desk in elementary school, even though it was a CLASS ASSIGNMENT to find one special thing about all of your classmates and write it on a Valentine. Seriously, Mrs. Shellhouse's third grade class? You can't find ONE THING to write on a Valentine to me? Fortunately, there is an entire genre of music made just for our pain, and it just happens to also be the most badass music ever: POWER BALLADS. When metal went glam, and glam boys needed radio hits to afford the fancy hair product they'd grown addicted to, they slowed it down a bit for the ladies and created the anthems that would become theme songs for an entire generation. We update this show a little bit every year, and this seventh year of LOVE BITES will prove to be the greatest yet. We'll hold lighters in the air and sway, we'll pound our fists at the sky in defiance of those who would dare not love us, and we'll do it all with teased hair and animal print tights on.”—Henri Mazza via Drafthouse.com
Alamo Survivor’s Tip: With so, so many different absurdities abounding in Con Air, the mind boggles at all the jokes to be mined by the mad geniuses of the Alamo’s Master Pancake troupe. Watch them let all the bunnies out of the box and get your tickets today.
Saturday February 25th
Kid’s Club: Fantastic Voyage
Alamo South Lamar 11:00am
“One of the most uniquely gripping adventures in Hollywood history! This absolutely unbelievable scifi action spectacle follows a group of scientists (including Raquel Welch!) who are miniaturized and injected into the body of one of their colleagues, where they pilot a microscopic nuclear submarine to save his life. Their host has only 60 minutes to live, and the movie pulse-poundingly unfolds in a real time race against the clock! While blazing through the human body, our wee heroes will be thrust through the circulatory system, acidified in the digestive tract, and assaulted by our bodies’ natural defenses! A kaleidoscopic Technicolor explosion of otherworldly impossibilities…that all happen to take place daily inside our very own own guts!”—Drafthouse.com
Master Pancake: Con Air
Alamo South Lamar 7:00pm; 10:00pm
Asian Invasion: Hong Kong-Athon
Alamo Ritz 10:00pm
“This February we welcome you to an all night extravaganza of rare, secret Hong Kong classics, curated by the great Grady Hendrix of the New York Asian Film Festival and Lars Nilsen of Fantastic Fest. You’ll see some phenomenal masterpieces, hilarious action trash, and some of the most wrong and obscure movies ever made, all introduced by the phenomenally knowledgeable, endlessly hilarious Mr. Hendrix. It’s a 10 hour extravaganza with special Hong Kong-centric food and drink options and tons of rare trailers and surprises. This event benefits the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA).”—Drafthouse.com
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Alamo Village 11:55pm
Thrill to all the cheap laughs, cheap women, and cheap production values of one of the world’s premier bad movies. Watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show in-and-of-itself is an event, but it takes on a whole new life when witnessed within the walls of The Alamo Village with loads of audience participation, dressed-up patrons, and general wickedness that has become a vital component to the film’s meteoritic rise to cult film legend.
Sunday February 26th
Hecklevision: Burlesque
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
“The Action Pack presents Burlesque in HECKLEVISION. Nominated for one Razzie and somehow three Golden Globes, The Action Pack is taking aim at Cher, Christina Aguilera, the eye-liner wearing pretty boy Cam Gigandet and America’s favorite supporting actor Stanley Tucci (Sorry Stanley...we still love). Not since Glitter has a movie been as cliche-ridden and predictable with such a sense of overall cheesiness. And when a movie achieves all these cornerstones of the well-worn craft of awful, we feel it our duty--nay, obligation!--to ridicule it in a public forum with our texting devices.”-- Greg MacLennan via Drafthouse.com
The Best of Sex Ed w/Owen
Alamo Lake Creek 7:00pm
“A rip-roaring collection of some of the most bizarre sexual education films from the 1930's to modern day. Learn how premarital sex can lead to heartache, insanity, and explosive car accidents. View the creative ways Disney animates syphilis. Hum along with the '70s classic ballad ‘VD is for Everybody!’ Groove to the hard core abstinence rap. Seriously, this stuff is amazing! Owen Egerton will introduce the films and keep the night rolling. So get your ass down to the Alamo Ritz and re-educate yourself on the birds and the bees!”—Drafthouse.com
TV at the Alamo: AMC’s The Walking Dead
Alamo South Lamar 9:30pm; Alamo Lake Creek 9:00pm
“Season one and the first half of season two of The Walking Dead established the series as yet another top-notch program from AMC right along with Breaking Bad and that other one with Christina Hendricks. The show has already taken huge U-Turns from the plot of the graphic novels and proved that it is capable of making its own compelling and exciting character-driven storylines, so the anticipation of season 2’s conclusion is huge. Where will they go next?! Come watch it with your fellow zombie fans in the fortified safety of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.”—John Gross via Drafthouse.com
Video Hate Squad: Outlaw Force
Alamo Ritz 10:00pm
“This February, VIDEO HATE SQUAD mount their mighty steeds and ride to vanquish all cultural Morlocks with their mighty six-shooters of truth! It’s a National Geographic factoid that the sum masculinity of Outlaw Force is so potent, so virile, that numerous African tribes have incorporated screenings of this film into their rite of manhood. Chief elders have even started crafting penis sheaths out of the VHS box. No shit! Billy Ray Dalton thought his war was over when he returned from Nam and settled into his routine as a western show stuntman/country singer…but he was wrong! After a band of punkers destroy his family, Dalton is forced to follow them into the concrete jungle, where he must rescue his daughter before she’s sold to a snakepit of pedophiles! And that’s not all! The film is also augmented by a weird proto-Tango & Cash subplot featuring none other than Frank Stallone himself, alongside the fantastic Paul L. ‘Bluto’ Smith! The man behind this menagerie of malehood is unfamiliar to most, but once you’ve experienced Outlaw Force, you’ll not soon forget the name of wildman David Heavener, who serves not only as director, but also producer, star, and singer of the film’s downhome soundtrack! If you miss this one you might as well donate your flesh to burn victims!”—Max Dropout via Drafthouse.com
Alamo Survivor’s Tip: There really is nothing like the Alamo’s Video Hate Squad series. It’s not just the rarity of the films shown creating a once in a lifetime experience, but also the fact that you’re watching a VHS tape played on the big screen with a gaggle of similarly obsessed cinephiles. It only happens every couple of months, do not miss out.
Monday February 27th
Everything is Terrible! Presents: Doggiewoggiez Poochiewoochiez!
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
“Those krazed VHS-hunting pupz from Everything Is Terrible! (everyone’s favorite found footage chop shoppe) are back with their third inner-eye-opening feature — containing a feat never before attempted in either human or canine history. EIT! asks but a few simple questions: 1) ‘What if we made a movie composed ENTIRELY out of dog-related found footage?’; 2) ‘What if this magickal movie, made up of thousands of other dog movies, was also a remake of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 masterpiece The Holy Mountain?’; and, 3) ‘What if we went on the road performing an all-new ‘ live in fur’ show that picked up where Cirque Du Soleil and The Rock-A-Fire Explosion left off?’ Well, let’s stop asking dumb rhetorical questions because this never-ending spiral of World-Pup winning, sunglasses-wearing, murder-solving, skateboarding pooches is real! This is it! Are you dog enough to go fetch it? ARFFFFFF!”—Drafthouse.com
AFS Texas Film Hall of Fame: No Country For Old Men
Alamo South Lamar 7:00pm
“No Country for Old Men takes place in a small Texas border town in 1980. Sheriff Bell (a never-been-better Tommy Lee Jones) has ruled the land for years without the use of a gun, but a new brand of reckless lawlessness has taken over his town. Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is an innocent Everyman with a devoted wife, Carla Jean (Kelly Macdonald), but when he stumbles across a drug deal gone deadly and finds two million dollars, he's determined to keep it for himself. There's only one problem. He's being pursued by one of the most amoral, evil psychopaths that the big screen has ever seen. Wearing an absurd haircut and brandishing a pressurized weapon that's used to murder cattle, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) creeps forward on his mission to track Moss down and return the money to its rightful owners to save his own skin. As the tension mounts, the body count begins to rise, confirming Sheriff Bell's inability to battle this new wave of modern brutality. Texas Film Hall of Fame Honoree plays Ellis, Sheriff Bell's uncle and ex-lawman.”—Drafhouse.com
Music Monday: Beat Street
Alamo Ritz 10:00pm
“The most criminally overlooked of the 80s hip-hop films! Kenny is just a poor kid from the Bronx with dreams of making it big as a DJ in the city's swankiest clubs. Into his life comes Tracy, an uptown girl and student at a fancy college who inspires Kenny to follow his dreams. Will they overcome their differences to love each other? Will they realize all their fat lace hopes 'n' dreamz? See fo' yo'self in this drama about break dancing and big city dreamz set to a bangin' old school hip-hop soundtrack featuring joints by the by likes of Melle Mel, Doug E Fresh, Kool Moe Dee, the Rocksteady Crew, and more!”—Drafthouse.com
The Big Lebowski Quote-Along
Alamo South Lamar 10:45pm
If you love the Cohen Brothers’ tribute to shiftless losers with mad bowling skills and penchants for Creedence Clearwater Revival, this is the place to be. All your favorite one-liners from The Dude will flash across the screen to prompt your collective vocal worship of this masterful comedy.
Alamo Survivor’s Tip: If you haven’t visited Everything is Terrible on that vast expanse of memeish nonsense known as the Internet, you are really depriving yourself of the best of the worst human beings have wrought upon the Earth. Their creative stringing of forgotten, but unfortunately very real, clips from every esoteric corner of the home entertainment world will have you laughing until you cry; or possibly laughing despite the fact that you are also crying. Come see their live show, this I cannot beseech of you enough.
Tuesday February 28th
Girlie Night: Thelma & Louise
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
“Usually at Girlie Night, we swoon over epic romance and giggle over our cocktails. But this month, we’re unleashing our inner badass along with the ultimate renegades: Thelma & Louise! Role models of feminism and straight up awesome, these two ladies showed us all that women should never be underestimated, especially when they’re driving a ‘66 Thunderbird convertible. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis make the ultimate pair of feisty gals-turned-outlaws, drawling their way through a spree of terrible men, Wild Turkey and wilder times. Together, we’ll fist pump through the ultimate road trip as Thelma and Louise teach us how to school sexist pigs, take control of our lives and go out in a blaze of glory. And speaking of glory, need I remind you of a young Brad Pitt’s shirtless appearance in this film? Hot damn!”—Sarah Pitre via Drafthouse.com
Everything is Terrible! Presents: Doggiewoggiez Poochiewoochiez!
Alamo Village 7:00pm
Terror Tuesday: Dr Black & Mr. Hyde
Alamo Ritz 10:15pm
“BLACK HISTORY MONTH SCREENING! ‘A screamin’ demon rages inside, turnin’ him into Mister Hyde. Don’t give him no sass or he’ll kick yo’ ass!’ Sound advice from the original ads for this schizoid blacksploitation shockbomb. The great Bernie Casey plays gold-hearted Dr. Henry Pride, who’s self-testing a serum to potentially save thousands of lives. The only side effect is that it turns him into an albino fiend with a sweet tooth for prostitute cutlets. No biggie, except when our hooker-hunting hero runs afoul of Silky the Pimp and his crew. Soon the dichotomous doc unleashes an unstoppable frenzy of flour-faced murder and mayhem. Investigating officer Jackson was played by Ji-Tu Cumbuka, whose name actually translates to “Giant Man” in his native Swahili. Violent and played for genuine terror, Dr. Black… was director William Crain’s follow-up to the groundbreaking Blacula, but this one maintains a level of high end nobility you just don’t find in most wee-budget ‘70s horror. And not just because Bernie Casey cruises the mean streets in a tricked-out Rolls Royce.”—Zack Carlson via Drafthouse.com
Wednesday February 29th
AFS Best of Fests: Better This World
Alamo Village 7:00pm
“Better This World follows the dramatic journey of David McKay (22) and Bradley Crowder (23) of Midland Texas, George W. Bush’s hometown, from political neophytes to accused domestic terrorists at the 2008 Republican National Convention. Through interviews with Crowder, McKay and their family members; FBI agents and attorneys; and a wealth of intriguing surveillance and archival footage Better This World presents an extraordinarily account of the boys’ radicalization, grapples with the morality of their choices, and sheds light on several overlapping issues related to the government’s domestic counterterrorism program: the growing surveillance culture, the criminalization of protest and dissent and the erosion of civil liberties in post-9/11 era. Better ThisWorld paints a gripping portrait of the strange and intriguing odyssey of these young men — poignantly describing not only the problems of power and authority, but also the ultimate power of friendship, forgiveness and love.”—Drafthouse.com
Celluloid Handbag: Dangerous Liaisons
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
“All ya’ need hear is tha’ muted tones of that stank predator, John Malkovich, sighing ‘It is beyond my control’ to tha’ tune of that tight assed pushed up woman of cruelty, Glenn Close, ta’ know that it’s gonna be a hell of a hot ride down tha’ love hole for CELLULOID HANDBAG’s February Valentine Screenin of Dangerous Liaisons!

80s Insanity: Coming to America w/ McDowells Burgers!
Alamo Lake Creek 7:00pm
“Before Eddie Murphy fell into fat suit shenanigans and unwatchable family trash, he starred in the best African-prince-comes-to-the-free-world-to-work-at-a-fast-food-restaurant-and-meet-the-girl-of-his-dreams movie of the ‘80s! Arsenio Hall (whoopwhoopwhoop!) joins a colorful cast of characters (half of which are also played by Hall and Murphy thanks to makeup maestro Rick Baker) in this R-rated masterpiece. The barbershop scenes alone will shatter your funny bone into a trillion laughing pieces. I mean, this movie is so hilarious that James Earl Jones is funny in it… and that is one serious dude! And yes, of COURSE we’ll have McDowells Burger Baskets available to purchase/ingest at this show, so come with an empty stomach and a barrel of yuks, ‘cuz Prince Akeem is gonna bust out enough Sexual Chocolate to make your Soul Glow! Zzang!!!”—Zack Carlson via Drafthouse.com
Action Pack: The Last Boy Scout
Alamo Village 7:00pm
“One’s a deadbeat private detective, the other’s a disgraced former NFL quarterback. But when they team up together there’s no murder they can’t solve or pro sports corruption they can’t unearth. Long before Shane (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) Black was writing and directing Iron Man 3, he was turning out action movie gems for the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson. Black was hot off of Lethal Weapon 2 just as the stars of Tony Scott (Top Gun), Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans aligned, and the world was blessed with The Last Boy Scout. They truly don’t make them like this any more, and so The Action Pack is loading up the pyro rig and inviting you out for an evening of in-theater explosions, violence, friendship and topless dancers. Not to mention the fact that we’ll be giving every audience member a gun and a handful of caps to unload at the bad guys. If you run out of caps, you can always jam a palm into your neighbor’s nose because the goal of this game... is to survive.”—Greg MacLennan via Drafthouse.com
Horror Remix: Sports
Alamo Lake Creek 10:00pm

Wait... that came out wrong. Regardless, this brand new Horror Remix celebrates the absolute best in horror films plus sports, showcasing the most killer parts of Fatal Games (1984), The Majorettes (1987) and Killer Workout (1987)!”—Drafthouse.com
Weird Wednesday: Surprise Title
Alamo Ritz 10:15pm
“We devote the last week or so of each year to our High For The Holidays programming. During this magical period we show movies best appreciated when viewed through a haze of brain altering chemicals. We can't tell you the name of the film we're playing at Weird Wednesday this week, but let me just assure you that if you've been saving a little something for a special occasion, this might be that rainy day you've been waiting for. I'll probably stick to malted whiskey and seritonin myself, but if you are the type who injects spider eggs into your spine or something to get high, we won't judge.”—Lars Nilsen via Drafthouse.com

TV at the Alamo: Comic Book Men
2/26 9:00pm
“AMC's new unscripted one hour series, Comic Book Men, dives deep into fanboy culture by following the antics in and around our good friend and master fanboy Kevin Smith’s New Jersey comic shop, Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. The six part series documents the daily banter of the Stash staff and customers as they geek out over mind-blowing pop culture artifacts and the legends behind them. Comic Book Men features Secret Stash employees Walt, manager and de-facto leader; Mike, a comic book virtuoso; Ming, the store’s technical expert and go-to whipping boy; and Bryan, who doesn’t actually work at the Stash, yet can always be found perched on a stool behind the front counter. As the team buys, sells and discovers the treasures of the comic collecting world, they share all the juicy details with Kevin through their outrageous podcast, which is woven throughout the series. The Secret Stash is not only a place for these comic book men to buy and sell, but it’s also a refuge for many to hang out and be part of a community that loves comics.”—Drafthouse.com

Watch the original prince of thieves and his band of merry men as they rob from the rich and give to the poor!
