Film buffs, looking for movie events outside of New York’s multiplexes? Luckily for you New York City has a thriving alternative film scene in galleries and venues throughout Manhattan.
See what’s in store this weekend:
Gremlins 2: The New Batch (Dir. Joe Dante, 1990)
Nitehawk Cinema; Midnight Screenings Fri 12:10am, Sat 12:10am
Tickets: $11 (age 13 and up with guardian)
They warned us what would happen if we didn’t follow the rules… Funny and referential, director Joe Dante shows us what happens when Gremlins go corporate and nearly take over Manhattan.
The Master Touch (Dir. Michele Lupo, 1972)
Spectacle Theater; Fri midnight
Tickets: $5
Set to a deliciously thick Ennio Morricone score, this West German production stars Kirk Douglas as a genius safe cracker just released from prison. With his only intent to settle in with his wife, he instead is immediately offered a job, just ‘one last heist’ that could settle him for life or land him back behind bars again.
Blue Velvet (Dir. David Lynch, 1987)
Museum of the Moving Image; Sat 4pm, Sun 7pm
Tickets: $12 ($9 for senior citizens and students / free for members at the Film Lover level and above)
A sensual mystery thriller about strange happenings in a small North Carolina town, Blue Velvet moves seamlessly from murder mystery to film noir to black comedy to coming of age story. After discovering a severed ear in an abandoned field, a young man finds himself on an investigation related to a mysterious nightclub singer and a group of psychopathic criminals who have kidnapped her child. As Peter Travers of People Magazine has reviewed: “Whether you are attracted or repelled by Lynch's bizarre vision, one thing is for sure: You've never seen anything like it in your life.”
Vertigo (Dir. Alfred Hitchcock, 1958)
Museum of the Moving Image; Sat 1:30pm, Sun 4pm
Tickets: $12 ($9 for senior citizens and students / free for members at the Film Lover level and above)
Featuring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak, this Hitchcock classic engulfs you in a whirlpool of love, obsession, manipulation and fear. This screening is part of a series programmed by Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner, who is highlighting films that inspired the show.
