I miss rep movie theaters. The UC is gone, the red Vic is gone, all that's left is the Alameda and they're only partly a rep theater, and you know what they're showing? A marathon of all the twilight movies and It's a Wonderful Life! (barf!)

We have the Polk Theater that was built in 1928. This month Gone With The Wind is being shown.

Twilight makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a red hot spoon. That girl who plays Bella needs to learn more than one facial expression.

LOL, really! and that twitch! I've seen people with neurological disorders who didn't twitch that badly!

That sneer on her face always baffles me. I can't decide if she's channeling Elvis and/or Billy Idol or she has some sort of palsey.

ROFL. Elvis and Billy Idol at least had charisma.

I miss rep theaters too! We used to have so many in NYC, and now there's only one, the Film Forum. But they have great programming and three small screens. So generally new films are running at the same time as old, "art" cinema rather than popular.

NYC has probably changed a lot in general since I've been there (1980).

Don't forget the Roxie. I saw an awesome documentary last week called Cartoon College.

The Castro Theater also functions as a Repertory to some extent as well.

this is true.
