Starring: Larisa Oleynik, Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Andrew Keegan, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, David Krumholtz

A modernization of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, this late 1990s romantic comedy set in an American high school has now become a bonafide teen classic. 10 Things I Hate About You stars the late Heath Ledger as the new mysterious kid at school (Patrick Verona) who just might win the heart over the misanthropic but beautiful Julie Stiles (Kat). Of course, this love match is set into motion by ulterior movies: by decree of their father, Kat’s younger sister has her eyes on a young man but can’t date until Kat has a boyfriend. And thus it begins…

Starring: Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Jessie Royce Landis, Leo G. Carroll, Josephine Hutchinson, Philip Ober, Martin Landau

Travel across the country with New York advertising executive Roger O. Thornhill who finds himself on a wild chase filled with murder and intrigue as a crime syndicate mistakenly believes he has the secret microfilm. Add in a sexy blond double (or triple) agent and a stunning score by Bernard Herrmann and you have the makings of classic Hitchcock, his ultimate caper film of mistaken identity starring Cary Grant.

Nitehawk presents a one weekend only screening of NORTHERN LIGHT. Q&A with filmmakers Nick Bentgen and Lisa Kjerulff and Icarus Films’ Livia Bloom after the Saturday screening!

Set against the backdrop of a town’s annual snowmobile race, Northern Light explores the working class experience in a series of captivating personal stories of recession-era America. The lives of three families change profoundly in the north woods of Michigan, where winters are unforgiving, jobs are hard to come by, and the line between living life and simply surviving is razor-thin. This cinematic, observational documentary explores the American working class experience through character-based storytelling. As racers and their families pin their hopes to a 500 mile-long test of endurance, small triumphs and giant sacrifices are made along the way. Dysfunction and hardship permeate the cold, but this harsh setting is simultaneously the site of community and familial intimacy. Filmed over the course of several years spent with the film’s protagonists, Northern Light is a fresh and vital contribution to the tradition of contemporary American cinéma vérité.

The original ‘Ghostface Killah’is on the loose!! A vicious villain with an unstoppable five element technique, Ghostface is killing off all his old rivals. Meanwhile, a young student studying kung fu is taken under the wing of an old chess master. The basics of chess prove to be the same as the basics of fighting, and eventually our heroes must fight Ghostface Killer, who verbally insults his opponents as he annihilates them. A true classic (and obvious favorite of the Wu Tang Clan), directed by Joseph Kuo, Chess Boxing will be presented on the only known 35mm print!

Joseph Kuo directed dozens of low-budget kung fu films in his native Taiwan, with minimal sets and bad wigs off-set by creative plots and exceptional fight choreography. In the 1970’s and early-80’s, Kuo crafted a number of bone-shattering martial arts classics, including Seven Grandmasters, The 18 Bronzemen, Born Invincible and his masterpiece, The Mystery of Chess Boxing.

Featuring special guest Lisa Katzman –  journalist, documentary filmmaker, and friend of Al Goldstein – with more guests TBA! Plus some jizz-tastic stories of the Victory Theater, the Deuce’s hallowed hot-house of X-rated indulgences…

Provocative, outspoken, controversial, and a bona fide original: all these words and more aptly describe the late, great Al Goldstein, one of the original co-founders of the notorious Screw Magazine, an underground rag that transformed the magazine world of the 1970s. Ever the showman, Goldstein credited Screw and its movie review “Peter Meter” system with making Deep Throat the runaway porno chic hit of 1972, and had no qualms with publishing celebrity nude pics before it became commonplace in magazines like “Celebrity Sleuth” and on the world wide web.

Designed as a feature-film version of an issue of the sensational magazine, SOS: Screw on the Screen lives up to its title, book-ending sex scenes with dirty joke skits, counterculture documentary vignettes, film reviews (with illustrative clips), and no-holds-barred interviews with intriguing personalities like adult film legend Jody Maxwell, ‘The Singing C***sucker from Missouri,’ who performs her astonishing feat live and unedited, and renowned stripper/vaginal acrobat Honeysuckle Divine, whose act must be seen to be believed. The magazine format would later translate to Manhattan public-access television as Midnight Blue, perhaps Goldstein’s most enduring legacy to generations of late-night TV junkies, but it was done here first in this one-of-a-kind film as distinctive and unusual as its creator.

Nitehawk and Noisey present a one night Music Driven screening of live performances by the legendary hardcore band THE BAD BRAINS. Featuring very special guest Darryl Jenifer for a Q&A with Sacha Jenkins!

The Bad Brains are one of the best punk/hardcore bands to emerge out of the United States (specifically Washington, D.C.) in the late 1970s. Charged with energy, political messages, and of course the PMA, they were pioneers in the punk/hardcore/reggae music scene. Don’t miss our screening of legendary New York performances by the band in the two films: My Picture in the Movies, Baby (1979) and Live at CBGB (1982). You’ll yearn for the days when music was this fantastic…and positive.

Music Driven is presented in partnership with Noisey. Featuring Absolut Vodka cocktails.
