Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas has revolutionized the movie-going experience, offering a full bar and an extensive menu, chock-full of classic bites like nachos and mozzarella sticks. You can eat and drink to your heart’s content, just as if you were in the comfort of your own home—if your house happened to include a waiter to tend to all of your needs. Take a look at what you should be watching (and eating and drinking) this month.
