Landmark’s Inwood Theater
Landmark’s Inwood Theater is unlike regular movie theaters. With 66 years of history, a glorious neon sign and a great selection of both independent and foreign films, the theater is a favorite of Dallas locals. But what puts it on the map is their large couches, love seats called Love Sacs and beanbag chairs with pillows that replace regular theater chairs making it an upscale venture for high cinema. After 5PM, you can hang out in the lounge and take your beer into the theater with you. Don’t forget to catch the midnight screenings of some of your favorite cult classics!
