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
“True Crime” continues with a Friedkin double-billing of The French Connection and The Brink’s Job on Friday; the former screens separately on Saturday, as does Chaplin‘s Monsieur Verdoux and The Honeymoon Killers. On Sunday, Lucky Luciano can be seen alongside Sacco and Vanzetti, while a print of Alain Resnais‘ Stavisky makes an appearance.
The Third Man continues.

The schlock and sleaze of Roger Corman‘s American International Pictures is given its due in a new retrospective, which offers early Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola features, as well as work from Bava, Ulmer, and Minnelli.
