Chicago
On February 16, check out a screening at Ida Noyes Hall of Martin Scorsese’s remake of ‘Cape Fear,’ one of director’s more inspired studio films and one of actor Robert De Niro’s last memorable instances of shocking, complete physical transformation.

Dallas
On February 15, head over to the Angelika Film Center for a screening of Ridley Scott’s frequently-revised but always-undeniable masterpiece, ‘Blade Runner.’ The listing border=”1″ hspace=”4″ id=”vimage_3881620″ src=”http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aolevergreen.com/media/2011/02/mccabe1.jpg” vspace=”4″ />
At San Francisco’s iconic Castro Theatre, make sure you queue up on February 17 for a double-feature screening of films by two icons of 1970s filmmaking, Robert Altman and Sam Peckinpah. Specifically, the Castro will be showing ‘McCabe & Mrs. Miller‘ and ‘Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid,’ two oddball but brilliant deconstructionist westerns. Make sure you check out the Castro Theatre website for showtimes, ticket information and additional screening details.
Seattle
For a terrific update of both Shakespeare and the teen comedies of the 1980s, head over to the Egyptian Theatre on February 18 and 19 for midnight screenings of ‘10 Things I Hate About You.’ Check out the Egyptian Theatre website for ticket information and additional screening details.
