Alamo Drafthouse Mason (Katy) presents Big Screen Classics: Sinatra’s Birthday - OCEAN’S 11.

Like a rich Bordeaux from a good vintage, some films age well, delicately maturing and growing more sophisticated with each passing year. There is a wealth of cinematic gems out there, gathering dust in the annals of time. Enter Big Screen Classics - a place where we celebrate all of the accomplishments in movies over the past 100+ years. Here you'll see the crème de la crème of old movie magic.  You'll always be amazed at the riches of cinema history at Big Screen Classics.

This series also encompasses our Digital Classics Series. The newest advancement in digital movie technology involves the painstaking restoration and preservation of classic films using computer technology. The films are then printed onto 4K or 2K digital drives, providing the clearest and brightest image possible using our state-of-the-art digital projectors. Whenever an archive or a studio announces a new digital restoration, we rush to bring it to the Alamo.

 

One for all, and all for kicks. The original Rat Pack are back in this rarely screened classic of crime, humor and, most of all, drinking. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. must have been doing something right, because over 50 years later, they are still the undisputed kings of Vegas.

While Stephen Soderbergh’s remake takes the casino heist plot at least semi-seriously, the only thing the Rat Pack seemed to care about was having a good time with a few martinis and the company of such prime time playmates as Angie Dickinson and Shirley MacLaine.

Grab a cold, cold martini and join the Mount Rushmore of cool with the most awesome partiers in the history of partying.
