In the UK, I would say The Light cinemas. The one near us has everything that you want including good seating and a really good fast food restaurant all at a reasonable price.
In LA, I would have said the Cineramadome, but they closed during pandemic. We’ve still got Egyptian, Aero, and Nuart though.
There is a Cinemark about an hour away that is my go-to.
Are there closer theaters? Oh God yes. Do those theaters serve one of my favorite beers, have employees that will satisfy my request to try to kill me with butter on my popcorn, have reserved seating, and have power reclining seats? Also yes. What makes that hour drive worth it is that there is maybe 4 other people in the theater for a new release at noon. I can get buzzed in the trailers and sober up during the movie eating extra buttery popcorn while lounging in center middle seats and nobody to bother me with their inconsiderations. It is glorious.
Alamo
Fairly new Alamo Drafthouse Boston. Can walk from the big transit hub or the special bus line that’s underground, will drop you right near the front door.
Beer options are respectable and I enjoy the full liquor options.
Popcorn! OMG! The stuff is tossed in clarified butter and served in a big tin bowl…YES!… Free refills. I will not confess how much I ate in a single movie.
There’s the Coolidge (green line is a bit of a pain) and Somerville Theater (right off the redline in Davis square).
The Brattle is also really good for rare, arthouse films and it’s a rear projection screen which is kinda novel now.
I haven’t been to the Drafhouse, but see no reason to, especially now that it’s owned by Sony.
