Nitehawk’s Country Brunchin’ celebrates the 50th anniversary of the film that launched the Spaghetti Western, Sergio Leone’s A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS. Includes a live pre-show musical serenade by The TarantinosNYC!
The beginning of the “Dollars Trilogy” (along with A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly), not to mention the start of the Spaghetti Western legacy, A Fistful of Dollars stars the brooding Clint Eastwood as “the man with no name” who arrives in the small Mexican border town of San Miguel. The town is torn apart by the warring of the Baxter and Rojo families. A cunning man who also happens to be quick with a gun, he plays the two sides off of each other and aims to get rich in the process. All this Leone magic is set to Ennio Morricone’s sweeping score.
The TarantinosNYC specialize in 60’s-70’s Surf, Soul, Spy and Spaghetti Western instrumentals, featuring the great soundtrack material in Quentin Tarantino movies and also originals in the style of classic movie and TV themes.
In WHIPLASH, a young musician struggles to make it as a top jazz drummer
Andrew Neyman (Miles Teller) is an ambitious young jazz drummer, single-minded in his pursuit to rise to the top of his elite east coast music conservatory. Plagued by the failed writing career of his father, Andrew hungers day and night to become one of the greats. Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons), an instructor equally known for his teaching talents as for his terrifying methods, leads the top jazz ensemble in the school. Fletcher discovers Andrew and transfers the aspiring drummer into his band, forever changing the young man’s life. Andrew’s passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into obsession, as his ruthless teacher continues to push him to the brink of both his ability—and his sanity.

Stanley Kubrick’s filmic version of Stephen King’s novel The Shining is the most beautiful mash up of terror that includes architecture, madness, a time/space collapse, and surreal imagery. The Shining takes place essentially in one place, The Overlook Hotel, that Jack Torrance (starring Here’s Johnny! Jack Nicholson) shares with his wife and psychic son as caretakers for the winter. It doesn’t take long for the hotel to consume his thoughts and propel him to do the unthinkable…murder his family.
Celebrate the new year by going back in time with our brunch screening of 200 CIGARETTES!
We all know that making the most out of New Year’s Eve is an annual exercise in torment but for the characters in 200 Cigarettes, their NYE is one for the books. Set in New York in 1981, this comedy film highlights all the fears-of-missing-out associated with ringing in the new year: not having a date, not liking the date you have, throwing a party that no one attends, and never finding the party! The film’s laughs and killer soundtrack are the perfect way to relax before your NYE kicks in. Plus, Elvis Costello!

It’s a hazy shade of winter one Christmas for a trio of rich friends in Beverly Hills in LESS THAN ZERO. A 35mm presentation!
Bret Easton Ellis’ novel on the complicated lives of three friends in Beverly Hills over the holidays – mainly excessive drug use, huge debts, and major family drama – gets the big screen treatment in this super stylish film set to the best tunes the late 1980s had to offer. When Clay returns home for the holidays after his first semester at an east coast university, he discovers that his former girlfriend and best friend haven’t been doing so well (to say the least) in their life decisions. Despite its sunny SoCal setting, Less Than Zero offers a glimpse into the dark side of the privileged but also the power of friendship. We declare this a new holiday must-watch movie!
