If you count yourself as a New Yorker and a movie lover, it's tough to not have a special affinity for films by Woody Allen. Practically the filmmaker laureate of the city, Allen's prolific 40 plus year career is getting a three week long screening series at Film Forum starting this Friday. Gothamist loves Allen's movies (both the highs and the lows) so much that we thought we'd chat with an Allen expert, Queens College professor Bob Kapsis, about how to plan our screening calendar during "Essentially Woody."

Where do you like seeing movies? Gothamist does appreciate that multiplexes can offer stadium seating (versus the horror that is the Angelika). Plus, there are other perks to multiplexes, like seeing a number of movies in one day. A single-screen theater we love is the Paris across from the Plaza, but our vote for the theater that makes us think of what old-time movie going was is the Metro Twin on Broadway and 99th Street (Woody Allen used it in Hannah and Her Sisters as the place where he realized he didn't want to die). Also, check out the Cinema Treasures that catalogs old movie houses (here are their listings for the Ziegfeld and Metro Twin).
