The Buckhead Backlot is a special place. Don't go to expecting to have the same experience as a normal movie theater. There's no stadium seating, you sit in big chairs, at tables. You go to the backlot because you can get reasonably priced beer by the pitcher, and drink it during the movie. As such, people take advantage of that and sometimes get rowdy. If its opening night of a popular movie, expect it to be packed and expect to get there early if you want a seat, as the isn't anywhere near as much seating as a normal theater. People yell and shout and laugh and clap at the screen, waiters are walking around taking orders and serving food. I would compare it more to a drive-in movie in terms of atmosphere, though since it is still inside in a theater it still has that feel to it as well. If you want to go see a funny movie with friends and get drunk and eat chicken fingers and just have a good time, go to the backlot. If you want to seriously watch a movie, go to a normal movie theater.
Pros: Beer by the pitcher, decently priced food, wine
Cons: Limited seating, limited movies, limited times
