This year the Alamo Drafthouse and Texas Monthly joined forces to celebrate film in the Lone Star state by tapping into Texasâ rich production history to celebrate the ten best Texas films and screen them in the iconic locations where either they were filmed or in a thematic setting.First, for a feature entitled âNo Country for Bad Moviesâ in its June issue, Texas Monthly brought together five experts, including Alamo Drafthouse CEO/Founder Tim League, to debate the ten greatest Texas movies of all time. Here's the press release and screening list: Austin, Texasâ May 16, 2011âThe Alamo Drafthouse and Texas Monthly today announced their collaboration for the 2011 Rolling Roadshow, marking the first all-Texas tour of free outdoor 35mm screening experiences pairing famous movies with famous places. The Alamo Drafthouse's Rolling Roadshow is one of the year's great screening series as the vaunted theater brings classic films to a location that's significant to the film being shown. So for instance, films shown at last year's Roadshow like Dirty Harry and The Blues Brothers were shown San Franciscoâs Washington Square Park and Chicagoâs Joliet Prison, respectively. The shows also tend to have special guests and sweet merchandise. Oh, and the shows are free.I was hoping that one of the screenings would swing by Georgia this year, but my state and 48 others are out of luck. Texas, home of the Alamo Drafthouse, will also be home to all of the 2011 Rolling Roadshow pictures. The films on this year's roadshow are (I'm already jealous writing this) The Searchers, The Texas Chainsaw Masscare, Blood Simple, Hud, Red River, Bonnie and Clyde, Tender Mercies, No Country for Old Men, Giant, and The Last Picture Show. Hit the jump for the full press release and to find out where each film will play. The 2011 Rolling Roadshow begins June 3rd.
