lms that are connected by either star director or type of story and so we have dcp screenings of alfred hitchcock s best films vertigo and rear window first vertigo screened in probably the highest quality digital presentation we re ever gonna get a tragic romance with poor guy jimmy stewart going down the emotional rabbit hole of doom as he falls for kim novack and tries not to literally fall due to his vertigo the story of obsessive love that has never been done better than this not on the big screen anyway a film that was ignored at best and derided at worst in its initial release but attained instant classic status upon its 1984 re release a near permanent fixture on most afi top 100 lists in some recent film articles listing best movies vertigo has made the leap to 1st or 2nd not quite sure about that but on my own top 40 for sure now again note that i haven t written much at all about the story itself to paraphrase martin scorsese when he wrote about vertigo not only is vertigo required viewing it also requires a personal response your life experiences will determine how you will take it i m guessing anyone who looks at my lists has seen vertigo before therefore you jumped past following the plot and can get to the heart figuratively and literally of the story and how it connects with you mad men creator matthew weiner was also influenced by vertigo to quote mr weiner released to negative reviews it now ranks for many as the greatest film ever made i had not seen it before the show began but finally caught it on a break after the first season i was overwhelmed with its beauty mystery and obsessive detail i remember watching the camera dolly in on kim novak s hair and thinking this is exactly what we are trying to do vertigo feels like you are watching someone else s dream matthew weiner next rear window my all time favorite hitchcock and in my top 25 overall also the best film in jimmy stewart s career with a knockout entrance from grace kelly that matches or tops anything done today possibly the best screenplay hitch has ever worked with even better than anything ernest lehman has written on both afi top 100 lists http filmforum org film vertigo double feature hoop dreams 1994 with post film discussion with director steve james sun aug 21 at 2 museum of the moving image a dcp screening from the museum s kartemquin at 50 retrospective celebrating 50 years of the work of the chicago based documentary film company i ve seen liked and recommend both the interrupters and the trials of muhammad lewis but the only film i have both the time and inclination to include is hoop dreams almost in arguably the best of the bunch for almost 3 hours and over the course of about 5 years director steve james covered 2 the lives of 2 teenagers arthur agee and william gates they have basketball skills that could get them out of the inner city but this ain t rocky people the road is paved with metaphorical land mines and questions about the kids troubles the unfairness of their varying situations and their own immaturity are not unfair to ask but they are not supermen just kids trying i don t want to say this launched a love affair or newfound respect for documentaries but hoop dreams is one of the landmarks of the genre almost doing in its way what pulp fiction did that same year for crime films and films in general oscar nominated but for its editing not for best documentary i won t even bother to mention what was nominated instead worthy subjects but not worthy films director steve james will participate in a post film discussion http www movingimage us visit calendar 2016 08 21 detail hoop dreams the killing 1956 and paths of glory 1957 sun aug 21 at 5 45 killing 7 30 paths and 9 15 killing and mon aug 22 at 2 15 killing and 4 paths film forum a double feature of two black and white ninety something minute stanley kubrick films from the 1950s pay for one and stay for the other do it either late sunday afternoon and evening of the 21st or do it monday afternoon of the 22nd first the killing from 1956 before tarantino was making crime films that twisted the timeline back and forth stanley kubrick made this film noir very early in his career a film that made his reputation forever more kubrick adapted the novel clean break with additional dialogue from pulp author jim thompson sterling hayden is the leader of a group robbing a race track of course things go wrong with a memorable ending among the standout performances take note of elisha cook jr as sap incarnate and marie windsor as his scheming wife united artists had no faith in the killing and threw it out there as part of a b movie double feature but critics took notice and so did kirk douglas who desperately needed a director for paths of glory a classic of the film noir genre with one of the most memorable endings of all of kubrick s films and don t worry its only 83 minutes long and speaking of paths of glory here s the other film in this double feature from 1957 adapted from a novel loosely based on a true incident in 1915 during ww i a pompous french general more annoyed by the stagnation of trench warfare and in love with his own hubris orders an attack on a german position that borders on suicide when the mission obviously fails the general attempting to save face orders the execution of a few from the attacking regiment for cowardice not any 4 soliders in particular but picked at random as a lesson to the rest of the regiment and it falls upon kirk douglas the colonel forced to lead the assault on the ground and now tries to defend the four accused in a hearing that more resembles a kangaroo court the first great film in kubrick s career and the first of his three anti war films someone i know tried to rephrase re categorize it as anti stupidity as opposed to anti war while i might appreciate the reasoning no sorry you can t anti war is what humphrey cobb strived for when he wrote the original book and it s what kubrick strove for when he made this just like he did with dr strangelove and full metal jacket later on a great colorful cast lead by kirk in what i think is his career performance he and stanley got along so well on paths of glory when kirk s film spartacus was in trouble he brought stanley in to direct much to his regret which filmgoers have benefited from ever since http filmforum org film paths of glory the killing double features sunrise 1927 and nosferatu 1922 29 with live piano accompaniment mon aug 22 at 5 45 sunrise and 7 40 nosferatu film forum part of the forum s double feature series where you pay for one and stay for the other a double feature of silent film classics from director f w murnau first sunrise from 1927 a restored dcp with its original soundtrack its views of love adultery and temptation might be subtle as a brick and at times a little on the hammy side in terms of some its performances but it s still considered a classic despite its disappointing box office and hasn t been screened often until the film s recent restoration george o brien plays a farmer who loves his wife until he goes into the city and falls for some sort of tramp she convinces him to kill his wife but can he winners of the first oscars for janet gaynor for actress who also won for two other films she starred in something that would never happen again and for cinematography it also won for best picture unique and artistic production as opposed to best picture as we know it which wings had won the unique and artistic production category was discontinued afterwards by the way sunrise was not on the first afi top 100 list but made it to the second list i wonder if it should be on that second list as opposed to films i enjoyed that were dropped like fargo dr zhivago the third man and fantasia i d like to find out next nosferatu originally released in germany in 1922 you could call this the first rip off bram stoker s estate certainly though so as they successfully sued for copyright infringement with regards to dracula luckily for us despite the court order to destroy all copies at least one print got out that s what was released i the u s back in 1929 and what restorations could be done have come from as for the film you have an idea of the story basics but it s the mood and the visuals that have elevated it from unknown to cult status to classic status the nature shots used more often for mood and of course the visuals and performance of max schrek as dracu er i mean count orlok has stayed with us to this day even in spongebob square pants played with live piano accompaniment which is the reason why this will probably sell out so planning will be needed to be done http filmforum org film sunrise nosferatu double features star trek ii the wrath of khan 1982 for free mon aug 22 at sundown bryant park a free screening of the 1982 classic and yes i do mean classic starts at sundown probably with a looney tunes or merrie melodies cartoon preceding it the best of the admittedly inconsistent star trek series as william shatner s admiral james t kirk and the crew of the u s s enterprise must deal with obsessed for revenge khan noonien singh i know i ve done this revival before but i enjoy it too much and after 30 years it still works good effects and score decent mix of star trek on golden pond and moby dick among other influences good use of spock if you know what i mean and a shatner performance you can respect but ricardo montalban s performance is worth the price of admission scenery chewing bug eyed but passionate and obviously an actor in the midst of having a fun time being very very bad i know it s been done before but i enjoy it too much don t want to hear from the haters time is on my side with this one besides most of the haters haven t even seen it and hey you can compare kirk s first entrance with trump s first appearance at the rnc left unmentioned was how similar they were but you can decide for yourself http www bryantpark org plan your visit filmfestival html django 1966 67 72 and yojimbo 1961 tues aug 23 at 6 30 django 8 20 yojimbo and 10 25 django film forum part of the forum s series of double features 2 films from the 1960s featuring loner anti heroes trying to clean up a corrupt hell hole of a town first django released in europe in 1966 played for a very brief time in the u s in 1967 but not receiving an official american release thanks to jack nicholson until 1972 a dcp of the spaghetti western classic not the same as quentin tarantino s django unchained the film that inspired many copies and inspirations including tarantino s had one official sequel and made franco nero a star everywhere except here i guess somewhat similar to a fistful of dollars and a certain japanese film where you have two sides fighting with each other and our anti hero in the middle and said anti hero is trying to financially profit off of this a little more romantic in the sense that django has a woman by his side but this was considered one of the more violent westerns pre wild bunch a reputation it has taken decades to put aside fits as a late night screening next speaking of a film that looks very similar to django and a fistful of dollars is the superior yojimbo from 1961 a toshiro mifune akira kurosawa team up here mifune plays arguably his most famous character a wandering ronin who plays both sides of warring clans in a small town against each other to maximize profit until it goes too far toshiro plays a man with a gruff almost belligerent exterior that hides a code of honor with another frequent kurosawa collaborator tatsuya nakadai as a formidable villain yojimbo is in my personal top 100 and is better than its 2 official remakes the quite good a fistful of dollars and the lousy last man standing overall a very good drama with just enough dark comedy and action to keep things 7 samurai is my favorite kurosawa but yojimbo is a film i can see over and over again and if you ve never seen it now is a great time http filmforum org film yojimbo django double features where s poppa 1970 and harold and maude 1971 thurs aug 25 at 7 30 poppa and 9 15 maude film forum part of the forum s double feature series two black comedies from the early 1970s both with cult followings the second film has one for sure while the first film may no longer has such standing first where s poppa from director carl reiner a very new york film that could only have been made in the 1970s well let me rephrase that the idea of an adult trying to take care of their senile and or elderly parent has been covered before most recently in the savages but the black comic depths could not be done today george segal plays a failing lawyer going nuts over taking care of his senile old bat of a mother played by ruth gordon he finally gets help from a nurse who turns out to be his dream girl but wait till momma does things her way ron liebman barnard hughes vincent gardenia and paul sorvino are among the cast with the original controversial punchline ending basically before there was south park there was where s poppa view it as such next is harold and maude from 1971 screened as a dcp perhaps no other director in the 1970s who made at least three films released in that decade had as consistent a level of quality product as hal ashby coppola scorsese and fosse are the only ones i can think of that exceed him spielberg lucas altman polanski friedkin and woody all reached greater heights but ashby s output never reached their lows not that audiences back then agreed a major example is harold and maude any film where suicidal young harold bud cort after many attempts played mostly for dark laughs finds the will to live and a great love in elderly maude ruth gordon audiences and some critics at time were far from embracing it but a decades old cult following has been loyal and they ll be the reason why this screening at the forum might sell out so plan ahead http filmforum org film harold and maude wheres poppa double features howards end 1992 starting friday aug

that s when it works for you go right ahead the third and last adaptation of a e m forester novel from producer ismail merchant and director james ivory arguably their best film now the plot is a
