February 19th 2014. Pick of the Day.
New York City's premiere resource for classic film screenings in the metropolitan area. Offering reviews, recommendations, venues and a host of links keeping classic film and the silver screens alive.
Hate making decisions? Well then this day on the rep film circuit was tailor made for ya. The only ongoing series is MoMA's Auteurist History of Film. In brighter news, it's gonna be 43 degrees. Hallelloo. The slim pickin's be as follows;
Film Forum
JE T'AIME JE T'AIME (1968) Dir; Alain Resnais
MoMA
WOMAN IN THE DUNES (1963) Dir; Hiroshi Teshigahara
Today's Pick? Hiroshi Teshigahara's WOMAN IN THE DUNES, screening as part of MoMA's Auteurist History of Film series. Three reasons; it's rep is huge, I've yet to see it, and it's the only other of the day's classic screenings not directed by Alain Resnais. Yeh it's gonna be like that.
For more info on these and all NYC's classic film screenings in February '14 click on the interactive calendar on the upper right hand side of the page. And be sure to follow me on both Facebook, where I provide further info and esoterica on the rep film circuit and star birthdays, and Twitter, where I provide a daily feed for the day's screenings and other blathery. Back tomorrow with a brand new Pick, til then safe, sound, make sure the next knucklehead is too. Excelsior!

P. S. Should you be feeling charitable during this harsh weather period please remember to check in with the good folks over at Occupy Sandy. Some of our NY neighbors are still feeling the effects of last year's hurricane. Be a mensch.
