All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

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!)

Worth it.

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.

Burt Lancaster at FF (my #1 unmissable is the rarely screened Frankenheimer The Train, the best of their collaborations imho)

http://filmforum.org/series/burt-lancaster

been looking forward to catching a few in this one - i have, somewhat astonishingly, never seen a single film in which burt lancaster appears. atlantic city and sweet smell of success have been on my list for ages, but i'm also hoping to find time to just pick up some random roll-the-dice picks here, especially with the 2-for-1s.

Dr. C: Criss Cross is my fave of the noirs. The Train is a must.

Thanks!
