Paste magazine keeps updating its list of The 100 Best Movies on Netflix and, not surprisingly, The Other Side of the Wind continues to maintain a presence two years after its release.

    "The density is dizzying, the intellect fierce. In terms of Welles’ filmography, it’s like the last act of Citizen Kane felt up by Touch of Evil, then stripped and gutted by the meta-punk of F for Fake.

"The Other Side of the Wind" and "F for Fake" are both playing at the Paris Theater in NYC on May 2. There seems to have been almost no publicity for the showings. And Netflix, which runs the Paris, really needs to upgrade and update the theater's website.

I thought it was odd they were showing F FOR FAKE, which is obviously not a Netflix property. However, it is distributed by Janus/Criterion and they have a business relationship with them.
Agree, little publicity and that website needs help.
