We have a lot of reasons for loving Alexander Payne. First, he’s from Omaha, our beloved burg off the coast of the Missouri River. He’s also directed some of the funniest and emotionally honest films of the past decade. And he’s a huge cinephile with a passion for the medium and an encyclopedic knowledge of film history. All of which brings us to our grand opening series. For our initial repertory series, we asked Alexander, an early and wonderful supporter of Film Streams, to select ten of his favorite movies. The result is a series featuring some of the most artistically interesting films ever made—and a unique opportunity to experience the big-screen influences that have shaped a contemporary filmmaker whose work we adore.

We have a lot of reasons for loving Alexander Payne. First, he’s from Omaha, our beloved burg off the coast of the Missouri River. He’s also directed some of the funniest and emotionally honest films of the past decade. And he’s a huge cinephile with a passion for the medium and an encyclopedic knowledge of film history. All of which brings us to our grand opening series. For our initial repertory series, we asked Alexander, an early and wonderful supporter of Film Streams, to select ten of his favorite movies. The result is a series featuring some of the most artistically interesting films ever made—and a unique opportunity to experience the big-screen influences that have shaped a contemporary filmmaker whose work we adore.
