THREE CHOICES. ONE VOTE. MOB RULES. AFTER THE FILM, AS ALWAYS, WE TALK IT OUT.
The first Friday of every month is High 5’s Pizza and a Movie Night! What do you experience when you come to Pizza and a Movie Night, you ask?
- A Great Movie. ‘Cuz we aim to please. But you won’t know what we’re seeing till you arrive and cast your vote for ONE of the THREE films based on that month’s theme. Bring an open mind cause the film selections are always a surprise! Scroll down to see what the mob has chosen in the past.
- Discussion. We break it down after the movie. Come share your opinion with other arts-lovin’ people. The conversation is led by Eric Ost, High 5’s Director of Pizza & Movies, and with him always is R. F. I. Porto, a film expert and industry professional, and all around good human.
- Free Tickets to other High 5 events. Dance, music, theater, museums, the works! Here’s your chance to pick up FREE tickets to the best of the best arts events around NYC.
- Pizza. Delicious pizza and ice cold soda. (Okay, the soda may not be ice cold and the pizza isn’t the best of the best, but hey. It’s free.)

and finally, we began it all with this: Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe, a short documentary film directed by Les Blank in 1980 which depicts director Werner Herzog living up to his promise that he would eat his shoe if Errol Morris ever completed the film Gates of Heaven. Yes, Errol Morris finally made the film and Werner came to the premiere of the film to fulfill his promise.
If you want to see the extent of Herzog’s determination and drive, rent Burden of Dreams, a full-length documentary made two years later by Les Blank about the making of Herzog’s film Fitzcarraldo. I’ll give you a preview: Herzog cast a madman in the lead roll and then attempted to pull a giant ship over a mountain in the Amazon Rainforest. By hand. Yes, they had problems.
See you at the movies, ya’ll!
