The best repertory film series in town revs up again at the Magnolia next week

The Big Movie series at Landmark's Magnolia has become the most consistent and eclectic repertory film series in Dallas. Every Tuesday night the Magnolia rolls out something worth seeing on the big screen, preferably with a sizable audience. (That's still the best way to see a movie, regardless of what the home theater hermits say).

The new Big Movie batch starts with His Girl Friday, Howard Hawks' lightning-quick ode to deadline journalism, true love and the gift of gab. Here's what comes next. I'll host the May 26 screening of M.

April 14 - Don't Look Now: Nicolas Roeg's moody 1973 thriller is still of the scariest things I've ever seen.
