One of the most consistently fun and entertaining traditions at The Brattle Theatre is its annual Reunion Week series, which brings together a reliably eclectic mix of films celebrating their 75th, 50th or 25th anniversaries. Chief among the titles on the older end of this year’s program is Billy Wilder’s deathless film noir melodrama “Sunset Boulevard” (1950), a film that remains so electric it’s almost difficult to believe it’s now three-quarters of a century old.

There are cult movies, and then there are cult movies. On Thursday, The Brattle Theatre presents a free 4K screening of Robin Hardy’s “The Wicker Man” (1973), featuring one of the greatest fringe sects ever committed to screen.

FYI, planning on posting here even less, for, uh, reasons. Find me below— there’s a bunch of us now!
Periodic reminder that I’m much more active these days at the other place (the one that rhymes with “Juice Guy”). Same username, plus the usual stuff afterwards— if we’re not connected there yet, hit me up!
RT @falsemaria: It can be so difficult to decide but Cambridge Day is here to help with some recommendations…
