Dog Day Afternoon
An anti-establishment thriller that perfectly captures the anarchy of 1970s New York, the film is remembered primarily for Pacino’s increasingly unhinged work, but the actor is given crucial support from the always poignant John Cazale.
Barton Fink
Exquisitely designed and brilliantly acted by odd couple John Turturro and John Goodman, Barton Fink remains one of the Coens’ most deliriously inscrutable dark comedies. Screens 2/1 and 2/2.
3:10 to Yuma
As the ostensible villain of Delmer Daves’s western classic, the outlaw Ben Wade who is being guarded and brought to justice by civilian rancher Dan Evans (Oscar-winner Van Heflin), Glenn Ford keeps peeling back layers of humanity, even as the two men enact a tense cat-and-mouse game.

The Magnificent Ambersons
