Cinema in and near Atlanta, GA

Even when their scripts are set elsewhere, films can end up Atlanta movies in their own right. Take The Blind Side, whose Memphis school scenes were actually shot in the Atlanta International School and The Westminster Schools, or Remember the Titans, where, again, local high schools stood in for T.C. Williams High in Alexandria, Virginia. But while the city has always been welcoming to film crews, it’s even more attractive to movie fans. That’s because the best movie theaters in Atlanta have plenty of nice touches to make the moviegoing experience extra special, from the gourmet food at CinéBistro to the art-deco charm at the Plaza Theater Atlanta.
