Alamo 100 brings essential movies back to the big screen
Everybody's making year-end lists this time of the year, but the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is, as it's wont to do, raising the bar.
The innovative theater chain has come up with the Alamo 100, a grouping of essential movies chosen by Alamo CEO and founder Tim League and various programmers at the Alamo locations around the country.
And starting in January, Alamo theaters is bringing movies from its list back to the big screen beginning with City Lights (1931), Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), Raging Bull (1980), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Sixteen Candles (1984), Brazil (1985) and The Goonies (1985).
Other entries in the Alamo 100 range from the romantic (Love Actually, You've Got Mail, 10 Things I Hate About You, Princess Bride) and the horrific (Evil Dead II, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Alien, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) to fanboy favorites (Star Wars, The Dark Knight, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters) and obscure oddballs (the Japanese detective film Black Lizard, European action flick Danger: Diabolik, the Asian horror movie Hausu, the Czech comedy Daisies).
Free collectible buttons for each film will be given out at Alamo 100 screenings.
