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.
Film Forum
“Orson Welles 100” celebrates one of the greatest artists America ever produced, starting with his adaptation of Macbeth on Friday and Saturday — Scottish accents and 35mm included. A print of The Magnificent Ambersons screens on the latter day, along with a collection of miscellany entitled Wellesiana. A 35mm double-feature of Jane Eyre and Tomorrow Is Forever arrives on Sunday.
A print of Modern Times screens this Sunday.
