I go to the Alamo specifically to see old movies on the Big Screen.

Some just aren't the same on even a large home screen, such as Lawrence of Arabia, or Spartacus (two the Alamo are currently playing). And some movies I've never been able to see on the Big Screen (such as the aforementioned).

I don't have to go, I choose to go for the experience.

Alamo doesn't make the movies, so your argument doesn't even make sense.

Edit: Though I agree with your general sentiment - make movies I'm willing to go see, instead of all the garbage and mediocrity

If it's a theater that's known for playing older movies that's fine. I had a dollar movie theater near me when I was younger and loved it but big box office theaters playing old movies just because of an anniversary just feels cheap and low effort. Especially considering the costs nowadays.
