they used to be unique but now almost all theaters (at least around me) have a comparable (or better) experience with reserved seats, roomy reclining seats, better food, etc. I think the only thing Alamo really has going for it now is its strict policy of no kids and no talking.
Haha, “the only thing it has going for it” is 100% why it’s important and we need to keep it around. I’m a big fan of it not being a crapshoot as to whether or not my expensive movie ticket is going to be a miserable experience due to an awful audience.
(Bonus Alamo protip: get the chocolate chip cookies. Freshly baked and delicious. I write “cookies” on a slip after they take my main order but before the movie starts, then prop it up when I’m finished. Cookies then miraculously appear midway through the movie - half the time I don’t even see those ninjas deliver them.)

I would pay a premium for no kids and no talking tbh. Those two things have ruined the last half dozen times I’ve been to the movies

Ah where I live, Alamo food is still way better than any other in-seat option.
