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.
Museum of Modern Art
With The Walk now playing and expanding next week, “What Lies Beneath: The Films of Robert Zemeckis” looks at its director’s fascinating career. The Beatles-centered I Wanna Hold Your Hand screens on Friday, alongside his short film “The Lift”; the Back to the Future trilogy can be seen this Saturday; Romancing the Stone and Roger Rabbit can be seen this Sunday.
BAMcinématek
“Interesting Women, Interesting Lives” highlights New York City ladies on film. Working Girl shows this Friday, while Auntie Mame and Desperately Seeking Susan can be seen on Sunday.
