Roxie Goin’ Away
Posted on May 16, 2005 by Tito
It looks like a great movie theater, the Mission’s Roxie, may not be around much longer, due to $$$ problems:
The warm, funky theater at 16th Street near Valencia, which Banning began programming in ’84, has screened everything from John Waters’ "Pink Flamingos” to Luis Bunuel’s "L’Age d’Or,” the films of Billy Wilder, Werner Herzog and Alfred Hitchcock, Errol Morris documentaries and Ernst Lubitsch comedies. Akira Kurosawa, Phil Kaufman, Herzog and Billy Friedkin are among the directors who’ve appeared at the Roxie, where you can still get a small box of real buttered popcorn for a buck and half, and fresh-brewed coffee from Malvina’s.
