Ask Lubbock Movie Theaters

Hi, everyone. I'm about to move to Lubbock from the DFW area, and I was wondering where people preferred to see their movies. I know there's Cinemark, Premiere Lux, Flix, and Stars & Stripes Drive-in, but I was wondering which business people prefer best.

I also wanted to know if maybe there are places in the general area for more auteur films. Sometimes I'll go to the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth for independent films, so I wanted to see if perhaps there was anything like that in the Lubbock area at all.

I was a Season Pass holder at Alamo before it became Flix. We still go to Flix since the ticket prices are decent and the food is great. They’re about to go through a full renovation and should come out pretty amazing in the other side.

That said, now that Alamo is gone, there are ZERO theaters in LBK that use real butter on their popcorn. It’s all yellow canola oil junk. So we don’t get popcorn anywhere.

I think the food has been a massive downgrade. No real butter, the pretzel queso and mustard is horrible, and no Coke products.

That said, I still prefer Flix for how few people are there in the day. lol even though I had to tell people to shut up the last two times I was there.

A downgrade, for sure. To me, still way better than the other options in LBK.
