Now that the United Artists 90th Anniversary Celebration at the Laurelhurst is wrapping up, it’s rad to see another series of classic films is really kicking into gear.
The Independent Film Revival at the Broadway Metroplex (1000 SW Broadway) aims to show off a bunch of relatively recent indie classics, with one screening a week, every Monday night. The past few weeks have had stuff like Trainspotting and Ghost World, while tonight brings us The Virgin Suicides. Here’s the lineup, so far; all screenings are at 7:30 pm, and each screening only costs $5.
May 12: The Virgin Suicides
May 19: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
May 26: Rushmore
June 2: Annie Hall
June 9: The Squid and the Whale
June 16: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
June 23: Punch Drunk Love
June 30: Secretary
July 7: Foxy Brown
July 14: In the Company of Men
July 21: Storytelling (this one’s subject to change)
So that’s an awesome schedule, and it boasts more than a couple of my favorite films (Fear and Loathing, The Squid and the Whale, Annie Hall, Punch Drunk, Eternal Sunshine…). Especially in the cases of Fear and Loathing and Punch Drunk, it’ll be fantastic to see some of these up on the big screen (each film is projected from its original 35 mm print), and the organizers also promise local guest hosts, giveaways, and raffles. Excellent.
