In the pace-quickening leading up to the Oscar-eligibility deadline (December 31), slots at city cinemas available for reviving classics are going to be in short supply for the next month. With that in mind, several cinemas will be clearing their screens of re-releases over the next seven days.

Come see my re-release Rosemary, please?

5: While Werner Herzog’s latest, Encounters at the End of the World, is a likely contender in this year’s Oscar documentary category, over at the IFC Center his Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), playing through Saturday, takes familiar fiction to new heights with an astounding cast including Bruno Ganz, Isabelle Adjani, and Klaus Kinski as the count.

4: Proving it’s not just Americans like Douglas Sirk and Otto Preminger who can inject melodrama with some true art and progressive politics, BAM’s series on Finnish director Teuvo Tulio concludes Monday with Cross of Love (1946), the story of a woman betrayed by a man and then, as a result, the surrounding community.

3: Trained as a filmmaker on the G.I. bill, Arthur Penn churned out some of the 60s counterculture’s favorite films, like Bonnie and Clyde (1967), which plays in Anthology Film Archives’ retrospective on Saturday. Also included are his Miracle Worker adaptation (1962) tomorrow, and his Floridian neo-noir Night Moves (1975), with Gene Hackman and Melanie Griffith, closing the series on Sunday.

2: Sparked by the canonical critic’s recent passing, The Walter Reade Theater’s Manny Farber, 1917-2008 series moves into its second half this week before concluding on the 26th. As expected from a man of such good taste, remaining films in the series include gems like Scorsese’s Mean Streets (1973) tomorrow and Saturday, Jacques Tourneur’s proto-monster movie classic I Walked with a Zombie (1943) on Friday and Saturday and Preston Sturges’s Christmas in July (1940) tomorrow and on next Wednesday as the series closes.

1: Film Forum has four oldies leaving their screens on Thursday: Francois Truffaut’s civilizing tale The Wild Child (1970), Roman Polanski’s Upper West Side aristocracy farce-turned-horror classic Rosemary’s Baby (1968), the original hip hop docudrama Wild Style (1983), and their series on pioneering documentarian Les Blank with two displacement comedies, Innocents Abroad (1991) and In Heaven There Is No Beer? (1984).
