Chicagoist recommends taking refuge from the downright temperamental weather to take in a flick. If, like us, you’re already tired of those overblown summer blockbusters – even though it’s only May – a number of great films are still playing in the area. Check out the serene Buddhist fable Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter…And Spring at the Music Box or the sexually explicit horror-cum-road movie (if that description doesn’t intrigue you, we don’t know what will) Twentynine Palms at Facets. Or, for a nice blast from the past on Thursday night, go see Peter Bogdanovich’s only true masterpiece, The Last Picture Show, at 600 N. Michigan, or Robert Mitchum in the timeless and extraordinarily creepy The Night of the Hunter at Northwestern’s Block Films, both shown in beautiful 35mm prints.
