This film was proposed by our member Renae Satterley, who wrote: 'This is a documentary about people in New York City who spend their days going to see movies. It’s about loneliness and alienation and how people use innovative ways to cope with life in the big city. It’s bittersweet and a wonderful slice of early 2000’s NYC. I would love the chance to see it again.'
This documentary profiles five obsessive filmgoers in the New York City area, whose commitment to cinema has taken over every part of their lives. Some live off disability benefits, others have unknown sources of income. Every day, they see from two to five films, traveling between the many movie theaters in the city. The film follows them as they defend their unusual lifestyles, show off their collections of ticket stubs and memorabilia, and journey from one film to the next.
