The Taking of Pelham One Two Three in 35mm
Four armed men hijack a subway car on a sweltering Manhattan day in this witty thriller adapted by Peter Stone (Charade, 1963) from the bestseller by John Godey. Walter Matthau is the cynical transit cop who must negotiate with the hostage-takers, led by a subtly menacing Robert Shaw as an ex-mercenary.
Expertly directed by Joseph Sargent (Colossus: The Forbin Project, 1970), this classic from the Fun City era of New York features gritty wide-screen cinematography by five-time Academy Award nominee and Honorary Award winner Owen Roizman (The French Connection, 1971) and a brassy and percussive score by Oscar winner David Shire (Norma Rae, 1979).

Midnight Cowboy in 4K
Director John Schlesinger’s film version of James Leo Herlihy’s novel about two unlikely friends—a would-be gigolo and a petty hustler—in the seedier side of 1960s Manhattan was a breakthrough in American cinema’s treatment of previously taboo subject matter.
Best Actor nominations were earned by Dustin Hoffman as the ailing “Ratso” Rizzo and Jon Voight in a star-making turn as Joe Buck, with supporting actress nominee Sylvia Miles among the impressive cast assembled by Schlesinger and pioneering, uncredited casting director Marion Dougherty. The film earned Oscars for Best Picture (Jerome Hellman, producer), Schlesinger’s direction, and Waldo Salt’s screenplay.
