FilmRadar finds L.A.'s special screenings

Other cities need sites like this one

Moviefone, www.moviefone.com, with its dozens of Los Angeles-area listings for Daredevil and Old School, can bury smaller films in the bulk of its data. FilmRadar helps locate them. Run by Karie Bible, it has a superb calendar of screenings in Los Angeles of historic movies, along with venue descriptions of all the quirky theaters in the vicinity.

The site is somewhat searchable via a tiny link on the calendar page, but it is eminently browsable, and for film buffs who know when they want to see a movie, this is a great way to find out what the most non-blockbuster options are.

The best equivalent I could find for New York is the New York Cityblog, newyork.cityblogs.com/cinema/calendar , but it hasn't been updated since December 2002. Anyone with a better suggestion is encouraged to contact me.
