The most influential movie of the past 30 years (see Pulp Fiction, The Sopranos, etc.), Scorsese’s monumental rise-and-fall chronicle of mob informer Henry Hill is the last word on the myth of criminal chic. “Funny how? Funny like a clown? I amuse you?” You’ll be quoting all of it.

Metrograph, 7 Ludlow St (212-660-0312, metrograph.com). Fri 25 at 6:30pm; $12–$15.

Metrograph, 7 Ludlow St (212-660-0312, metrograph.com). Fri 25–May 31 at various times; $12–$15.

In this rarely revived haunted-house movie, George C. Scott’s grieving composer rents a mansion inhabited by a dead child’s ghost. Spooky doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Italian horror specialist Lucio Fulci so rarely gets screened, much less in 35 millimeter, that it’s almost worth recommending this babysitter slasher on principle alone.
