Year after year, our beloved Belcourt Theatre offers up the best programming of just about any film center you’ll find in the country. This year was no exception, with the Hillsboro Village arthouse celebrating the semicentennial of one of the most meaningful years in cinematic history with its splendid, 13-film Spirit of ’69 series. Throughout June and July, the Belcourt screened groundbreaking features from 1969 such as Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy, Medium Cool and The Wild Bunch, along with the documentaries For All Mankind and Apollo 11. What a delight to see such a meaningful baker’s dozen of historic cinema on the big screen in 2019. D. PATRICK RODGERS
