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.

Out 1, “the great cinematic happening of 2015,” is finally in theaters, with tickets for weekend-long marathon sessions (the ideal viewing method) available.
Museum of Modern Art
“To Save and Project” begins its 13th year of bringing audiences essential, under-the-radar cinema. The first highlight: Samuel Fuller‘s Dead Pigeon on Beethoven Street, the director’s cut of which is making its U.S. debut.
“Cate Blanchett: A Tribute,” which is exactly what it sounds like, begins this weekend.
