| Long a cinematic treasure of the Upper West Side, where for generations fledgling filmmakers like Scorsese, Bogdanovich and Allen learned their craft and Columbia and Barnard students caught the latest art-house or revival films, we still make going to the movies at the Thalia magical, with film festivals, special series and the old-school favorite—the double feature! |
