Classic Movies, Old AND New

ADVANCE TICKETS:

Because of their small theater sizes AND their rabid fan base, you ALWAYS need to buy your tickets ASAP. Shows frequently sell out.

IF something comes up and you can't make it, go to your Alamo Account, select "Tickets" from the drop-down, select the appropriate ticket, and look for the following verbiage:

JERRY SAYS:
I'm NOT the biggest fan of The Alamo because of their belief that I share in the responsibility of ensuring their workers make a living wage, their higher ticket prices if you don't subscribe to their service, and all their &^%$#%&*(% rules [see below], BUT they DO feature the carpet from THE SHINING in their lobby, they DO have the most comfortable seats in the Metro Area, and they DO show MANY movies you can't see elsewhere.
******************************************************************************
SHOW UP 30 MINS EARLY
Early birds enjoy a curated show before the show and a chance to order some cold drinks and unlimited popcorn before the movie starts.
AGE POLICY
All guests under 18 must be accompanied by and seated with an adult (18+). No children under the age of 6 will be admitted with the exception of G and PG shows starting before 7pm, when children 3 and up will be admitted. No children under the age of 3 will be admitted except for specifically designated "Baby Day" and "Sensory Friendly" screenings.
WE APPRECIATE PUNCTUALITY
In order to ensure the highest quality experience for all guests, you may not enter a movie after it has started. We’d love to see you up to 30 minutes early. Running late? No worries, we will happily exchange your ticket for a different showtime or a raincheck to a future show.
NO TALKING, NO TEXTING
We work hard to give you a premium experience with the sharpest picture and clearest sound in the biz, so we're not about to let someone's cell phone ruin that for you. That's where our ironclad no talking/no texting policy comes in.

PARKING:

I recommend parking in the City Foundry Garage on the same level as the Cinema...Super Safe, Convenient, and FREE! From 44, make a right off Vandeventer onto Forest Park Avenue, and you're virtually there!

After the movie, we will gather in the lobby for lively, provocative, and insightful conversation--OR as close as we can come to that, anyway--HA!

Paul Thomas Anderson's meticulously realized epic of modern America

PhilIp Seymour Hoffman is Lancaster Dodd, a self-made, self-absorbed and self-doubting paragon of intellect; a magnanimous socialite who's prone to thunderous episodes. His writings are devoted to exploring mankind's untapped potential, to the point that he seems intent on elevating himself and everyone around him to a superhuman level.

Into his expanding circle stumbles Freddie Sutton (Joaquin Phoenix), a living storm of total self-destruction. The two men appear opposite in every way, but their meeting ignites a persevering mutual fascination that threatens their perceptions, their outside relationships, and even their personal well-being.

Hoffman and Phoenix both give the all-time best performances of their already-incredible careers, with equally strong work from Amy Adams as Dodd's brilliant wife/business partner. Paul Thomas Anderson's script and direction, completed with stunning 65mm photography, create the type of viewing experience that feels even more authentic and compelling than actual life. THE MASTER is one of the rarest accomplishments possible: a perfect movie.

General Admission - $12
Student/Senior - $9

Director: David Fincher Run Time: 157 min. Format: 35mm Film Release Year: 2007

Starring: Anthony Edwards, Chloë Sevigny, Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr.

Over the course of a decade, editors of the San Francisco Chronicle entice themselves in the murders of the Zodiac Killer. However, as time runs its course, interest in the case dwindles in the eyes of the professionals. The Killer stops interacting with the public. However, believing he has the answers, an amateur cartoonist from the initial sightings races against time to prevent what he believes is another murder.

> “A masterpiece of mood, obsession and detail… a procedural that’s as much about the people chasing the mystery as the mystery itself.” — The Guardian
>
> “Mr. Fincher has made a movie that feels not only meticulous but almost hypnotically alive to the textures of the past.” — The New York Times
>
> “A near-perfect evocation of the obsessive hunt for a killer who seemed to vanish into thin air.” — Rolling Stone
