Re: OT: Do these still exist in NYC ?

[Philip Friedman pfilf@xxxxxxxx]

There used to be a Bleeker Street Cinema. Long gone. Film Forum is great. Also the Walter Reade Theater in Lincoln Center does repertory cinema, as does the reconstituted Thalia on the Upper West Side (called now the Leonard Nimoy Thalia, I think) And there are some "art houses" that do contemporary independent and foreign movies, notably the Lincoln Plaza, the Angelica, and the Sunshine. The Brooklyn Academy of Music also has a repertory cinema.
