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.
Museum of Modern Art
The Mark Lee Ping-Bing retro has its last weekend, with titles including Hou Hsiao-hsien‘s Dust in the Wind and his rarely screened The Puppetmaster.
Museum of the Moving Image
“David Bordwell: How 1940s Critics Changed American Film Culture” offers a crash course in one sliver of film history. Citizen Kane screens on Friday and Saturday; this Sunday, see The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Counter-Attack, and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Metrograph
The Black Dahlia, Redacted, and Passion help end the De Palma series, which has reruns this weekend that include Hi, Mom! and Mission: Impossible.
A WB cartoon series plays on Saturday and Sunday, and Corvette K-225 shows the latter day.
Film Forum
A new restoration of Scorsese‘s masterful The King of Comedy plays throughout the weekend.
If you can’t Hamilton tickets, 1776 on Sunday morning should do some good.

Dovzhenko‘s Zvenigora plays on Friday.
Nitehawk Cinema
Dazed and Confused screens alongside a print of Drive at midnight.
