The Central Park Conservancy presents its annual film festival tonight and every night through Saturday (Aug. 24-28). The theme, of course, is Manhattan. Well, no one ever said the city wasn't in love with itself.The Rundown:
Tuesday, August 24: Fame (1980)
Wednesday, August 25: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)
Thursday, August 26: Saturday Night Fever (1977)
Friday, August 27: King Kong (1933)
Saturday, August 28: Manhattan (1979)
Films start at 8 p.m., gates open at 6:30. Enter at 72nd street, continue north of Sheep Meadow. Bring a picnic (the fine print says sober, my friends).
Cost: free Payoff: cultural references to throw around at cocktail parties or at your freshman film class (and maybe a few bug bites for the trouble)
