Maybe it’s been a while since you’ve seen Jimmy Stewart dangle from a steel beam on the big screen, or you haven’t enjoyed the sword-slinging glory of Seven Samurai—all three hours and 27 minutes of it—in one sitting before. Regardless, Landmark’s Metro Cinemas will screen some of last century’s greatest noirs, thrillers, and black-and-white classics every Wednesday through April 27. The mini-fest starts tonight with the newest kid on the block: Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai’s lush In the Mood for Love, starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung.

I plan to continue my self-imposed Humphrey Bogart-athon at the screening of Nicholas Ray’s noir In a Lonely Place. If you want to see some proper on-screen flirting, watch the YouTube clip below of Bogie being coy with Gloria Grahame. What a tease.
