Is anyone else's local theater playing old movies on Wednesdays and Sundays? We saw Labyrinth this afternoon, and The Neverending Story is next week. Looks like I'll be going to the theater a lot more often.

Not here but my library has a lot of good classics on dvd, I just saw Citizen Kane last week.
A couple I know of screen older films as well as new releases. The theater of The National Filmotheque puts on retrospectives all the time (usually of local film), but I rarely make it to the movies. Still, I managed to see Stalker there, even if the screening was a bit of a let down.
shareI had not heard of Stalker so I looked it up hoping for a synopsis, and had to read through about 10 reviews before I got a sense of what it was about. Must be a challenging film.
shareYou'll either love it or think something like this:

That poster was kidding, I guess, 😋 but people who think it's a slow movie could see it like this. (emoticons are missing)
That's really funny! I have patience for an "art film" once or twice a week, so I will probably give it a shot if I can find it. It seems polarizing, which means it's worth a look.
shareLol at that post. It's great if you read it in the accent as well (which I naturally have :D). Also, on the surface level, true.
Cinemax is airing, I think all, Tarkovsky films, but so far I've only caught the beginning of Nostalgia and the middle of Solaris. But I fully intend on seeing at least one from beginning to end, God damnit! :D
I don't think it's the type of film you can really explain in a synopsis. I think it is challenging (it was for me at least), but it's worth seeing, even if you end up not liking it. I'd say it's an acquired taste, though.
shareIf I remember correctly, the director himself said he tried to make the viewer feel like going to an art gallery. Look at one painting, think about it for a while and then move to the next one. It felt exactly like that. I still don't know what it all meant, just like watching abstract art.
There is a TV pilot for a series based on the book, which is different from the film. More Sci-Fi, less philosophy "Roadside Picnic" (2017).
