The Paris Theatre is a slice of New York City's history. This 535-seat art house movie theater located right by the Plaza Hotel has been operating since 1948 (when Marlene Dietrich presided over the ribbon cutting ceremony), and is the last surviving single-screen cinema in Manhattan.

After a brief closure during the pandemic, Netflix rescued the theater and reopened it two years ago. To celebrate that rebirth, the Paris is bring back its Big & Loud screening series, with 70 mm screenings of iconic films from August 23rd through Halloween.

Some highlights:

Hitchcock's Vertigo, Scorsese's The Last Waltz, Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, Spike Lee's Malcolm X, James Ivory's Remains of the Day and Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus.

Not bad, huh?

Tickets are $17 ($15 for seniors, children and students). In addition to the usual fare of popcorn, soda and candy, the theater offers pastries from Pain D'Avignon and fancy teas and espressos to boot.
