New York icon Martin Scorsese is revealing his go-to films set in the Big Apple.

The auteur curated the screening series “Living, Breathing New York” for the Roxy Cinema, which features screenings of four of his favorite NYC movies out of a full list of Scorsese’s 32 favorite New York movies he’s created and which IndieWire is proud to share below.

“Living, Breathing New York” is curated by Scorsese in celebration of the new release of Olmo Schnabel’s NYC-set thriller, “Pet Shop Days,” which Scorsese executive produced. The film premieres March 15 at the Roxy Cinema in New York, and stars Dario Yazbek Bernal and Jack Irv as two lovers whose whirlwind romance sends them down a rabbit hole of drugs and depravity in Manhattan’s underworld. Willem Dafoe (who starred in Olmo Schnabel‘s father Julian Schnabel’s Vincent Van Gogh biopic “At Eternity’s Gate”), Emmanuelle Seigner, Peter Sarsgaard,...

With six decades of storytelling behind it, Star Trekis as expansive as the universe it explores. A recent film from Otoy and The Roddenberry Archive both provided a fitting end to two of its most important characters and brought all the eras together. Directed by Carlos Baena, 765874 - Unification did the impossible, and not just because of the characters it featured, by uniting every era of Star Trek fan with its moving, powerful story.

In this interview with Cbr, director Carlos Baena talks about how he brought Unification to fruition and cleared up 30 years of Star Trek canon in one fell swoop. During his time at Industrial Light & Magic, Baena worked as an animator on classic films like Jurassic Park III and Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. He then moved to Pixar, working on a string of beloved films like Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Wall-e and others.

The first "Star Trek" television series of the 21st century was the prequel "Star Trek: Enterprise," running for four seasons from 2001 to 2005. Set approximately a century before the events of "Star Trek: The Original Series," the show covers humanity's early days exploring the galaxy. The series' central starship, the Enterprise Nx-01, is among the first capable of traveling warp five, with this enhanced speed giving it access to an expansive number of worlds. Commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula), the Enterprise leads the creation of what would become the United Federation of Planets.

Throughout its four-season run, "Enterprise" provided a unique approach to the "Star Trek" franchise, showing the origins of many of its familiar tropes and concepts. "Enterprise" also featured stories spanning multiple episodes, mixing longer-form storytelling with the franchise's usual episodic format. While "Enterprise" may have seen a mixed reception across its run, including a poorly regarded finale,...

Regeneration (sometimes referred to as Behind The Lines) did little box office on its release in 1997, but hindsight shows it to have been an underrated, accomplished portrayal of the horrors of the First World War. It is all the more surprising because — unlike, say, Sam Mendes’ 1917, which takes place in the battle zone, or Edward Berger’s All Quiet On The Western Front, which is mostly set in the trenches — Regeneration shows life at the front in only the briefest of snapshots. Its story is less about the realities of trench warfare; like the 1991 novel on which it is based, it is concerned with what happens to the soldiers afterward, and how they deal with the trauma of combat. Here’s why it is worth a watch.

Season 1, Episode 7 of Northwoods Survival, titled “Regeneration,” airs on Tuesday, 3 December 2024, at 10:00 Pm on National Geographic. This episode follows a group of diverse young Canadians as they continue their journey of building new lives in the rugged wilderness. With the changing seasons presenting new challenges and opportunities, the cast faces a critical point in their survival journey, focusing on how they adapt and regenerate their efforts to thrive in the harsh conditions.

As the group deals with the intense physical and mental demands of surviving in such a remote environment, “Regeneration” showcases the resilience and resourcefulness needed to live off the land. The episode captures the struggles and triumphs as they navigate everything from resource management to interpersonal dynamics in the wilderness.

For viewers who have followed the series, this episode highlights both the beauty and the difficulty of life in the Canadian wilds. It offers a unique perspective...
