*With special treats.

One of the favorites of Billy Wilder, Some Like It Hot is about the adventures of unemployed musicians Joe and Jerry, who masquerade as women to escape from gangsters. Managing to get into a women’s orchestra, the duo heads to Miami and things get wild with unexpected events. Some Like It Hot, in which Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe stand out with their spectacular performances, is an ageless comedy classic with its pace maintained throughout the film and amusing story.

Cast | Winona Ryder, Gena Rowlands, Lisanne Falk

Great director Jim Jarmusch follows five taxi drivers in a single night in five different cities, namely Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Roma and Helsinki, and creates an impressible film out of the dialogues in taxis. In Night on Earth, the stories of the characters with different problems and dreams also tell about the cities they live in. With extravagant characters, stories in different tones, Jarmusch’s unique and wonderful dialogues and the camera evoking the spirit and rhythm of the cities in which it travels, Night on Earth is a really special film.

Director | Michael Mann

Cast | Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx, Jada Pinkett Smith

Michael Mann’s underrated film Collateral is about the all-night-long adventure of ruthless hitman Vincent and taxi driver Max who keeps postponing his dreams. Collateral is unique not only because it is one of the best action-thriller films, but also it has a narration based on the city and the lonely people living in it. Mann’s camera technique, dialogues between Vincent and Max, elaborate views of the city and usage of light and music almost makes Los Angeles the star of the film.
