I'm the type of person who will rearrange plans in order to see a movie. It's possible that I got married with enough buffer time after the Oscars and I'm really glad my daughter decided to show up well before the Golden Globes. In fact, I once got mad at my husband for getting me a Tribeca Film Festival pass because we already had a trip planned, so that meant there would be some TFF movies left unwatched. But that's just what happens: There are so many wonderful movies--some are making their U.S. premieres, others are the "it" films from Sundance or other festivals--to choose from at the Tribeca Film Festival that there's no way you're going to get to see all of them. (If you do, please tell me your cloning secrets!) In addition to the exciting opening night film, the Saturday Night Live documentary, Live From New York!; a trio of Monty Python films; and a remastered print of GoodFellas, here are some of my top picks for what to see at this year's showing--it's pretty eclectic, with films starring Oscar Isaac and Allison Brie, and documentaries about sake and a group of young siblings who rarely venture from their East Village apartment!
