Five Must-visit Alternative Movie Theaters in Houston
Wortham Giant Screen Theater — Journey to Yellowstone, Kenya, or even the Triassic period at the Wortham Giant Screen Theater, located inside the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Far from a fossil, the 394-seat theater features a large screen with 4K digital resolution and a six-track sound system, the perfect tools to bring its 3D attractions to life.
Brown Auditorium Theater — Add variety to your cinematic diet at the Brown Auditorium Theater, inside the Museum of Fine Arts, Huston. Brown Auditorium Theater was designed in 1974 by famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and updated in 2000. The theater screens both classic and modern films as well as world cinema and documentaries.
River Oaks Theater — Enjoy dinner and a movie in style at the River Oaks Theater, Houston’s typical movie theater located inside the fashionable River Oaks Shopping Center. Spring for extra cost-plus seating to settle into a leather recliner (躺椅) and receive push-of-a -button food and drink service. Showings typically include contemporary documentaries and fiction films and, naturally, the traditional midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Sundance Cinemas Houston — Book your tickets in advance for the easily reserved seating movie theater Sundance Cinemas Houston. The MetroRail-nearby Downtown theater keeps independent films on deck, but doesn’t mind showing the latest great blockbuster (大片). And its on-site cafe serves up pizza, popcorn and more.
Showboat Drive-in Theater — Park the car at The Showboat Drive-In Theater in Hockley where “it’s not just a movie… it’s an experience!” For a small price, families, friends, and lovers alike get snacks, souvenirs, and a double feature of the newest releases.
