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.
IFC Center
“Wim Wenders: Portraits Along the Road” continues with weekend-long scheduling of The American Friend and Kings of the Road. His exploration of Ozu, Tokyo-Ga, screens alongside the short film “Reverse Angle”; early short films can also be seen on that day. The director’s cut of Until the End of the World plays on Sunday.
Tokyo Story plays before noon.
Aliens, Darkman, and Mad Max show at midnight.
Museum of the Moving Image
“See It Big! New York in Film” brings some of the best-known NYC chronicles to the big screen.

Do the Right Thing plays on Sunday.
