Dallas is always striving to be considered
a world-class city. From bids to host the
Summer Olympics to calling its football
club "America's Team" (remember when
people cared about the Cowboys?) to building a
dauntlngly beautiful skyline, Big D likes to think
of itself as Big Apple West.
Perhaps the surest sign that Dallas can claim
a kinship with New York is the Angelika Film
Center at Mockingbird Station. Like its big broth-
er in the Manhattan's'.SoHo district, Dallas'
Angelika is a hangout for cultural stimulation as
much as it is a movie theater.
First there's the architecture and decor — an
arresting, bold and welcoming two-story edifice
that towers over Mockingbird Station like a
monolithic guardian. Then there's the Cafe
Angelika, a nifty little bistro that's worth a trip
just for a piece of one of the marvelous cakes.
But ultimately, it's the challenging art-house

films, shown with respect for their audiences in
quality accommodations (like the comfortable
stadium seating), that draws in the fans. The
eight screens have projected such gripping
recent films as Pedro Almodovar's "Bad
Education," "Testosterone," "Bear Cub," "Mrs.
Henderson Presents" and "The Dying Gaul."
It's easy to feel comfortable being yourself at
a place like the Angelika. The theater attracts a
sophisticated and cosmopolitan crowd that
appreciates independent lifestyles as much as
independent movies. As conservative as Texas is,
It still manages to find room for three Angelikas
within its borders — one even in button-downed
Piano. In some ways, places like the Angelika are
more than just venues for movie-watching. They
are ambassadors for a different way of looking at
the world, and spreading the independent spirit
to everyone.
