In 2025, the Paris Theater is proud to continue our monthly screening series with the New York Film Critics Circle, in which members of the NYFCC appear in person at the Paris to introduce a film close to their heart, often followed by an on-stage conversation with one of the actors or filmmakers.

This year, the NYFCC celebrates its 90th anniversary as an organization that honors excellence in U.S. and world cinema. For several of our screenings, NYFCC members have selected films that the group has honored at its annual awards ceremony throughout its 90-year history.

In April, Jason Bailey will present Tony Scott’s True Romance in celebration of the release of Bailey’s new book Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the Life of a Legend about the late actor James Gandolfini. Screening to be followed by a book signing with Bailey. 

For NYFCC’s May selection - just in time for baseball season - we’ll be showing a 35mm print of Ron Shelton’s classic Bull Durham, for which Shelton was awarded Best Screenplay by the NYFCC in 1988. The film stars Kevin Costner and Tim Robbins as minor league baseball teammates, who both catch the eye of their team’s poetry-living groupie Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon). NYFCC member and editor of ScreenCrush Matt Singer will introduce the film.
