American Cinematheque

Sharing a legendary friendship, John Cassavetes and Martin Scorsese helped shape American cinema in multiple ways, whether it was on the streets of New York with handheld cameras, experimenting with actors in rehearsal, or pursuing visions that were uncompromisingly personal. These with a film from each director, these double features include such landmarks as SHADOWS, TAXI DRIVER, A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE and RAGING BULL.

Slapstick and visual humor have universal appeal that transcends generations; our tribute to classic movie clowns includes such legends as Charlie Chaplin (THE GREAT DICTATOR), Harold Lloyd (SAFETY LAST!), Laurel & Hardy (SONS OF THE DESERT) and the Marx Brothers (A NIGHT AT THE OPERA) to keep you in stitches.
