A tiny little movie theater opened up a few blocks from my apartment last month. When I say tiny, I mean literally there are about 25 seats in the place. It mostly screens offbeat old films, and all tickets cost $8, which sounds expensive, but is legitimately a bargain in New York City.

When I went with my girlfriend a few weeks back to see a screening of Sidewalk Stories, which is silent and funny and quite good, we ended up being the only two people in the theater, minus the guy running the place. That might have been because it was still brand-new, but also might have been because the place was entirely unmarked, with its windows papered over and its front overhang still advertising a hair salon that had previously been there. There was just a single sheet of printer paper with the theater's name taped to the window.

It was a weird experience, but it reminded me a lot of the "obscure" film club my girlfriend and I, along with a bunch of other friends, went to week after week in college. We'd see grainy movies, poor reproductions, and everything from great films most people had missed to super weird ones that sort of feel genius and sort of feel like no one should ever see them. I learned a ton about movies from going there; so I'm looking forward to walking back over to this theater and seeing what other gems are out there.

Below are nine trailers from this week worth checking out. (Okay, maybe 10 trailers — it depends on how you're counting, but I'm going with nine.)
