Consider us your new video store, or specifically the “Staff Picks” section of a video store. Every single title on Alamo on Demand is curated by a member of the Drafthouse team. If it is here, one of us wants you to see it.
Let us help bring you the movies that you want to see! Feel free to drop us a line about a movie you want to watch, suggest a retrospective that needs to happen, or a genre you think is not well represented.

Can I use an Alamo Drafthouse gift card to rent or purchase?
Unfortunately, no.
Can I pay with the credit card stored in the Alamo mobile app?
They’re different apps with different settings. You’ll need to enter your payment details into Alamo On Demand separately – Alamo On Demand doesn’t know about the credit card you use to buy movie tickets.

No, right now Season Pass is only for use for tickets to theatrical screenings.
