Dobie Theatre, Austin

Right below the reputedly tallest (27 stories) dormitory building in America lies a complex of shops and businesses, one of which is this nifty four-screen movie house. Independent films have a way of starting small here, then breaking into national acclaim; credit the theater's owners for selecting a broad variety of movies both big and small, foreign and domestic. This place has much to satisfy the expectations of its hip collegiate audiences—a very good thing, too, since the University of Texas campus is literally across the street. Midnight shows are also commonplace. See website for showtimes and more.
