For eight straight Wednesdays, cinema buffs can see advance screenings of "small" movies by big names -- with live commentary from actors, directors and top critics including Rolling Stone's Peter Travers and Stephen Whitty of The Star-Ledger.

Some kids bond with their dads at ballparks. For Mark Ehrenkranz and his father Ira, it was movie theaters across North Jersey in the early '70s.

Ira: How much homework do you have tonight, kid? How you looking?
Mark: Not too bad.
Ira: Let's go. Don't tell your mom!

They caught pictures like "Bang the Drum Slowly," "Love Story" and "The Godfather."

Mark was hooked. Now he wants to hook you. On Wednesday, April 2, he's bringing his New York Film Critics Series home to Morristown. For eight straight Wednesdays, the Headquarters Plaza Clearview Cinemas will showcase quirky, clever, off-beat new movies that seldom penetrate the suburbs. The $175 subscription includes appearances by well-known actors, directors and film critics. MORE
