Since any New York 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 Society of Lincoln Center

“Lynch/Rivette” enters its final weekend, and some terrific things are in store. On Friday, Rivette‘s Paris Belongs to Us and Duelle will play at 3:30 and 9:15, respectively, while Lynch‘s Lost Highway screens at 6:30. The great, inevitable double feature is this Saturday, when Celine and Julie Go Boating plays ahead of Mulholland Dr. Take a plunge into madness on Sunday with INLAND EMPIRE and The Story of Marie and Julien, as well as a repeat of Lost Highway. All are on 35mm.
