Screening Room: James Bond fest at the Aero

Screenwriter-director Tom Mankiewicz, who died in July of cancer, is being honored Thursday evening at the American Cinematheque’s Aero Theatre with screenings of two of the Roger Moore James Bond films he wrote: 1973’s “Live and Let Die,” which marked Moore’s first outing as 007, and 1974’s “The Man With the Golden Gun,” which Mankiewicz co-penned with Richard Maibaum.

And on Wednesday, the Aero welcomes George Lazenby, who played Bond only one time, in 1969’s “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” He’ll discuss the film following a screening.

Egyptian salutes Kubrick

While the Aero gets its Bond on, the Cinematheque’s Egyptian Theatre celebrates the legacy of iconoclast Stanley Kubrick. The series kicks off Wednesday with his powerful 1957 anti-war film, “Paths of Glory” starring Kirk Douglas, George Macready, Adolphe Menjou and Ralph Meeker, along with the exceptional 1956 heist film “The Killing,” starring Sterling Hayden and Coleen Gray. A double feature of 1971’s “A Clockwork Orange” and 1987’s “Full Metal Jacket” concludes the tribute Saturday. https://www.americancinematheque.com

ArcLight documentary night

The ArcLight Hollywood is presenting a rare screening of the 1958 documentary “Windjammer” on Sunday.

It was the only film shot in the widescreen Cinemiracle process, which was a rival of Cinerama. “Windjammer” will be shown in digitally remastered high-definition at the Cinerama Dome. https://www.arclightcinemas.com

3-D screenings

Film historian and preservationist Serge Bromberg of Lobster Films will present an evening of 3-D movie rarities Tuesday at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Linwood Dunn Theater. Among the films screening is the 3-D version of the Lumière brothers’ 1896 “Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat,” which they re-shot in 3-D in 1935.
