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 the Moving Image
What do The Earrings of Madame De…, How the West Was Won, and an avant-garde series have in common? They’re all inspired 2001: A Space Odyssey and play in a program this weekend, as does a 70mm print of Kubrick’s film alongside the museum’s incredible new exhibit.
