The smallest movie theater in town is also the best-curated display case for amazing movies, the kind of "you've got to see this" fare that can't be enjoyed elsewhere. In recent months it has presented a newly restored print of a 1958 Czech wowzer that turned Jules Verne fantasies into a trippy cocktail of live action and vintage animation, with steampunk submarines, bicycle zeppelins and bizarre squid battles. And a legendary documentary about how Los Angeles is celebrated and misrepresented in movies. And side-by-side series of films by Hitchcock, John Hughes and Charlie Kaufman. It's a labor of love by a wildly knowledgeable staff, done more for love of the art than profit. 3258 Minnehaha Av. S., Mpls., trylon.org
