All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

yeah, I have the Ford box, but they're showing some in 35mm, and there are some 4K restos.

I had heretofore missed this Criterion Top 10 by NYC film snob Georgia Hubley, who includes some excellent commentary on theaters past and present ("MOMA, popular dinner spot of many of NYC’s finest moviegoers"):

https://www.criterion.com/current/top-10-lists/132-georgia-hubley-s-top-10

Just confirmed or relooked up that she is related to, the daughter of those other Hubleys.

Oh wait, it's at the top of that link. D'oh!

Yes, as a child she's even on the soundtrack of a couple cartoons.

Okay, just read that properly. Really well-written and chosen.

trucker vehicles (hehe) at Anthology

http://anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/series/50621

I've seen 5/10, would def recommend Hell Drivers and Le Camion... and they are showing a 35mm print of Duel.

is the movie theater in Union Square still open? the one that was on the same block/around the corner from Virgin. across the street from Forbidden Planet. I can't remember if it was an AMC or Loews

It is. I never go there bcz of the multiplex prices; I don't think they even have matinee discounts.

What Price Hollywood ("a focused look back at the nature of sexual politics on screen") begins at MoMA on Monday

don't care much for the angelika but they got Amazing Grace so i suppose i gotta go

you could go to BAM! (beginning the 12th)

yeah, that's preferable if only barely.
looking forward to seeing Hail Satan next week.

Annoyed that I'm going to miss most of that trucker series even though I've seen most of them (I'm in NYC from 4/15-5/1) - except for Le Camion! (I can see it finally!)

so Manhattan's last single-screen theater looks done

https://deadline.com/2019/06/paris-theater-closing-new-york-film-community-laments-losing-another-prestige-picture-palace-1202634176/

Ugh

think i've been there twice in twenty years; remember it being a nice enough room but they tend to book kinda boring stuff

I'm pretty sure in '80-81 I saw Truffaut's last two there (The Last Metro, The Woman Next Door). They booked all the Merchant-Ivory films in the '80s and '90s. Last time I was there was for Carol. Always packed in the 75-and-over crowd.

(also I believe it's where I almost crashed into Joe "Look Sharp" Jackson coming out of the men's room after a revival of Shoot the Piano Player)

Somehow I'd... never heard of this theater? Huh.

Came here to post this short series, clearly programmed for Morbs: Reagan at the Movies at Metrograph.

I've seen all of those except Rambo and Firefox.

Prison Images: Incarceration and the Cinema @ Anthology... I esp recommend Renoir's stellar The Elusive Corporal, which is harder to see than A Man Escaped or Le Trou.

It's hard to believe that Manhattan had only single-screen theaters until 1972, if that factoid is indeed true - supposedly the Quad was the first multi?

A little before my time, but I know of no others. They started dividing the single-screen midtown theaters by the mid '70s.
