Blood Simple Central Cinema	Daily from Thu., October 2 until Thu., October 9, 7:00pm more dates/times	Capitol Hill	Local Film/Arthouse
The Coen brothers’ 1984 Texas noir remains one of the best indie films of the ’80s for its wickedly funny take on infidelity, murder, misplaced trust, and mutual suspicion (to say nothing of the knife-impaled hand). This is their slightly tweaked 2000 version that is actually a tiny... More >>

Anatomy of a Murder Grand Illusion	Daily from Fri., October 10 until Thu., October 16, 8:00pm	University District	Local Film/Arthouse
James Stewart defends the innocent again in this oft-overrated 1959 Otto Preminger legal drama, which continues to catch audiences napping with its frank testimony about rape and human sexuality. That boldness of approach--combined with a fresh score by Duke Ellington and electrifying... More >>

The Exiles Northwest Film Forum	Daily from Fri., October 10 until Thu., October 16, 7:00pm more dates/times	Capitol Hill	Local Film/Arthouse
This forgotten 1961 indie is set largely in L.A.’s working-class Bunker Hill district, since razed for office towers. It’s a lost film in a lost neighborhood full of lost people; you can’t get much more forlorn than that. Shot over three years without location sound by Kent... More >>

Pulp Fiction Egyptian	Fri., October 10, 11:59pm more dates/times	Capitol Hill	Local Film/Arthouse
We have just one question for you: How do we know which wallet belongs to Jules Winnfield? There’s no excuse for missing Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 Oscar-winner with its big talented cast and wonderfully elliptical storytelling. How can you go wrong with John Travolta, Samuel L.... More >>

The Godfather Cinerama	Daily from Fri., October 10 until Thu., October 16, 8:15pm more dates/times	Belltown	Local Film/Arthouse
The best movie opening this weekend is 36 years old. Completely restored for its multi-disc DVD box-set release (Paramount, $72.99), Francis Ford Coppola’s Oscar-winning The Godfather may look better now than it did in 1972. The famously thick chiaroscuro lighting of cinematographer Gordon... More >>

Shakespeare on Film SIFF Cinema	Daily from Fri., October 10 until Wed., October 15	Queen Anne	Local Film/Arthouse
Stephanie Shine, George Mount, and other members of the Seattle Shakespeare Company will provide introductions for these seven film adaptations (plus one documentary). Titles range from vintage, like Orson Welles' 1948 Macbeth, to more recent, such as Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet, which... More >>

Sprocket Society Secret Sunday Matinee Northwest Film Forum	Every week Sunday from Sun., August 31 until Sun., November 23, 12:00pm	Capitol Hill	Local Film/Arthouse Family Events
Shorts and various cartoons will precede serial episodes of Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. The 1940 series stars Buster Crabbe and Dale Arden, and is certainly kid-friendly and not too scary for younger viewers. (Perhaps Olympian Michael Phelps could take the role from Crabbe, himself a...

Metro Classics Metro	Every week Wednesday from Wed., October 8 until Wed., December 3, 7:00pm more dates/times	University District	Local Film/Arthouse
This nine-title repertory series begins with a picture shot in the very rubble of WWII. Roberto Rossellini’s 1945 neorealist classic Rome, Open City builds upon actual events and characters from the underground Resistance, which battled Nazi occupiers by using priests, women, and even... More >>
