The E Street Cinema continues its first-ever “Capital Classics” series this weekend with two very different films. There’s what many consider to be the greatest Hollywood musical — and certainly the form’s trendsetter — 1952’s Singin’ In The Rain starring Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds. The other screening is Giorgio Moroder Presents Metropolis, the electronica pioneer’s 1984 alterations to Fritz Lang’s 1927 film, including color tinting and a synth-heavy pop score. Every Friday and Saturday at midnight, and 11 a.m. on Sundays — this Sunday, Nov. 6, the screening is Singin’ In The Rain — through Dec. 18. Landmark’s E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW. Tickets are $11. Call 202-452-7672 or visit landmarktheatres.com.
