Austinist is fond of the Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon double feature and the Billy Wilder bill featuring The Apartment. What are you most excited about?

Also worth noting at The Paramount: the very popular "The Last Word" series has gone on sale for the 2006-2007 season. The four-part series features Dave Barry, David Sedaris, Sarah Vowell, and a tribute to Spalding Gray with readers such as Eric Bogosian and Turk Pipkin.
