Mother's Day at the Movies

Sabrina Still not sure what to do for Mom for Mother's Day? No worries—there are plenty of filmtastic options. First, the Alamo Drafthouse is coming to your rescue with a Sabrina Mother’s Day Feast! The classic film starring Hepburn and Bogart (not the remake with Harrison Ford) is sure to be one of your mom’s faves, and even if it’s not, it will be soon—thanks to romantic tale and the delicious food set to accompany it! From arugula vichyssoise with asparagus timbale to salad nicoise with smoked ahi to espresso rubbed pheasant with thyme glace, the Alamo chefs will be doing their damnedest to bring you delicious courses that are hard to spell but easy to enjoy. Make this Mother’s Day memorable—spend it at the Alamo with mom, Audrey, Humphrey, and a tasty assortment of food! For more movie options on Mother's Day, read on:

If Sabrina doesn’t float your boat, or reminds you too much of the teenage witch, you might want to check out It Happened One Night at the Alamo South Lamar. Filmed 20 years before Sabrina, It Happened One Night features Clark Gable in the role that made him a star—even though he seemed to try his hardest to reject the film at first, showing up drunk for his audition and not even reading for the part. Claudette Colbert responds to his eloquent but devilish swagger with appropriate flirtatiousness and strength. And the menu for this film is just as attractive as the actors: each course follows the geographic progression of the movie, from Miami's marlin in mojo with malanga fritas to New York's peppercorn seared strip steak with mushrooms and Waldorf Salad.

If you’d rather bypass the Alamo, try MovieWithMom.com to learn more about getting access to select showings of Waitress, or visit TheStoryOfTexas.com to get an IMAX ticket for mom free when you buy one for yourself. (You might consider going to see Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs with your own "mummy.")
