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.

Shoot the Piano Player plays with Jules and Jim on Friday, while Saturday brings Last Year at Marienbad and Demy‘s Lola. Carol Reed‘s Our Man In Havana and John Schlesinger‘s Billy Liar both come on Sunday, and all of these are showing on 35mm.
