    Catch this film tonight: Dog Day Afternoon

    Posted in Film, Own This City by Joshua Rothkopf on July 6th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

    dogdayafternoonThe only thing better than seeing a film for free? Seeing a good film for free. And on a nonrainy night like tonight, watching Dog Day Afternoon at the Bryant Park Summer Film Festival—outside, no less—might just be the most New York thing you could possibly do, except whine “Attica! Attica!” in a nasally chant (like Al Pacino’s character). Fans of bank-heist movies won’t want to miss this one: a classic of mid-1970s NYC naturalism. The fun gets underway at sunset, which is 8:30ish, though we’d arrive a little earlier—the lawn opens at 5pm. Remember: There’s no need to rob a bank. It’s free.
