Another delightful film series gets under way at the Museum of History & Industry Thursday: Seattle Art Museum's "Some Like It Wilder," a 10-film centennial celebration of the great filmmaker Billy Wilder (1906-2002). The series begins with the 1944 noir "Double Indemnity" and continues Thursday nights at 7:30 through March 15, featuring such treats as "The Seven Year Itch," "Sunset Boulevard," "Some Like It Hot," "The Apartment," and "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes." Series passes are a bargain at $65 for 10 films ($58 for SAM, MOHAI, Cinema Seattle or Frye Museum members); purchase them through the SAM box office at 206-654-3121, through Scarecrow Video (5030 Roosevelt Way N.E., Seattle, 206-524-8554), or at the door. All screenings take place at MOHAI's McEachern Auditorium, 2700 24th Ave. E., Seattle.
Northwest Film Forum this week presents the Seattle premiere of Greg Gibbs' documentary "The Treasures of Long Gone John," about the music producer and head of the indie label Sympathy for the Record Industry. Born John Edward Mermis but known for decades as Long Gone John, he launched the careers of numerous artists including Holly Golightly, the Tards and the White Stripes. It screens through Sunday at 7 and 9 p.m. at NWFF, 1515 12th Ave., Seattle; 206-267-5380 or www.nwfilmforum.org.
And finally, kick off the new year by seeing one of the great movies of the last century: Alfred Hitchcock's voyeur mystery "Rear Window," starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly and one of the best cinematic kisses you'll ever see. At midnight tonight and Saturday, in a restored 35mm print, at the Egyptian, 805 E. Pine St., Seattle; 206-781-5755 or www.landmarktheatres.com.
