Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.
Quad Cinema
A great retrospective of director’s cuts has started up, the weekend’s highlight being Kenneth Lonergan presenting Margaret.
Film Society of Lincoln Center
There’s plenty of melodrama left: Carax, Mizoguchi, von Trier, Pasolini and more close out the series.
Metrograph
The Paul Thomas Anderson series winds down as the Max Ophüls retrospective ramps up.
Eyes Wide Shut also plays.
IFC Center
“The Complete Studio Ghibli” continues, while Vertigo can be seen.
Film Forum
Melville’s Bob le Flambeur has been restored, while Dumbo screens on Sunday.
Nitehawk Cinema
