At our North Shore Towers we are proud to present the following 3 films for the week of 4/26-5/2/2024.
“Coup De Chance” Rated PG-13, 97 minutes. Produced in French with English Subtitles. Woody Allen’s latest film. Fanny (Lou de Laâge) and Jean (Melvil Poupaud) look like the ideal married couple – they’re both professionally accomplished, they live in a gorgeous apartment in an exclusive neighborhood of Paris, and they seem to be in love just as much as they were when they first met. But when Fanny accidentally bumps into Alain (Niels Schneider), a former high school classmate, she’s swept off her feet. They soon see each other again and get closer.
Friday to Sunday & Wednesday to Thursday @ 2:00 only
No shows scheduled on Monday or Tuesday.
“Farewell, Mister Haffmann” Unrated, 1 hour 55 minutes. Produced in French with English Subtitles. The legendary Daniel Auteuil gives one of his most superlative screen performances in the gripping new historical drama from writer/director Fred Cavayé, based on Jean-Philippe Daguerre’s celebrated, multi Molière Award-winning play. Occupied Paris, 1941: all members of the Jewish community are instructed to come forward and identify themselves to authorities. Dedicated jeweler Joseph Haffmann (Auteuil), fearing the worst, arranges for his family to flee the city and offers his employee François Mercier (Gilles Lellouche) the chance to take over his store until the conflict subsides. But his own attempts to escape are thwarted, and Haffmann is forced to seek his assistant’s protection. It’s a risky proposition for both men, and one that Mercier’s wife Blanche (a wonderful Sara Giraudeau) is skeptical of. As the couple move in to the Haffmann home, the agreement turns into a Faustian bargain, one that will forever change the fate of all.
Friday to Sunday & Wednesday to Thursday @ 4:30 only
No shows scheduled on Monday or Tuesday.
“Wicked Little Letters” Rated R, 1 hour 42 minutes.
A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, the film follows two neighbors: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women – led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) – begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.
Friday to Sunday & Wednesday to Thursday @ 7:00 only
No shows scheduled on Monday or Tuesday.
Please note: whenever possible we dedicate all day Wednesday & Sunday to Open Captioning for our deaf and hard of hearing friends and visitors. IF the movie distributors supply us with an open caption version of their film it will be shown on those days.
Here at the North Shore Towers Cinema our Bargain Day continues to be on Thursday with admission of $9 per person. For all other showtimes the admission price is $12 per person. This pricing does not apply to any live events or special shows and we are cash only ticketing.
We want to publicly thank all of our Patrons that have supported our cinema throughout the years!
The Board of Directors and Management of the North Shore Towers have decided to take the Theatre in another direction. We wish them the best!
We will miss many of the friendly faces and our regulars at the cinema and of course our employees. You will all be forever in our hearts!
Hugs and goodness,
Henry & Anne & the Crew here at the cinema.

They came to say goodbye.
On Sunday, in the hours before the Malverne Cinema & Art Center screens went dark for the last time and the movie house closed for good, owners Anne and Henry Stampfel embraced those who had helped make theater a local institution. It felt like a shiva call. The crowd stood in the lobby with the plush carpet for hours, sharing laughs and memories.
People like John Aresta, the Malverne chief of police, whom Anne Stampfel had hired as an usher in 1981.
Like Jo Constantelos, a longtime friend of the Stampfels whose son worked at the theater in high school
Like Joanna Volpe, the Stampfels' daughter, who grew up at the cinema.
The Stampfels, who live in Massapequa, arrived around 5:30 a.m. on this dark and chilly Sunday to clean out the building.
“I was sad,” Anne said. “The weather outside kind of matched my mood.”
The final slate of Hollywood fare: “Lee,” “Reagan,” “Transformers One,” “The Wild Robot.”
For neighborhood movie fans, the theater’s demise meant the end for first-run features close to home. For the Stampfels, it marked the end of a challenging few years of business.
The cinema closed for much of 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic hit before temporarily reopening that October.
But “it cost too much to unlock the door each day,” Anne Stampfel said, and the theater closed again in January 2021.
The Stampfels opened again, this time in May 2021, with an assist of a federal Shuttered Venue Operators Grant.
“That helped us get this far,” Henry Stampfel said.
As far as additional help, his wife added with a note despair, there is none “out there now. I’ve searched.”
Last Tuesday, the decision was made to shut the down the theater after the couple couldn’t reach an agreement with the landlord over building renovations.
It marked the end of a three-decades plus journey for the couple, who purchased the theater in 1990. The landlord was not available late Sunday to discuss plans for the future of the five-screen theater with seating for nearly 700. The original theater was built in 1947. It’s located in a strip mall on Hempstead Avenue where the roadway meets Nassau Avenue.
The Stampfels had met at a theater in Oceanside. He was working as a projectionist; she as a candy salesperson. They bonded over their love of the industry and built their own film fiefdom: Over the years, the Stampfels have run theaters in Bellmore, Hempstead and Long Beach.
But it was in Malverne where the Stampfels became most involved with the community, their daughter said. They would often hold film talks with residents.
“It would be sold out all weekend Thursday through Sunday,” Volpe said. “And even Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday were busy, because people would just come here, and find out what was playing when they got here. They trusted it would be good because they knew films would be carefully curated.”
Aresta said it was at the Malverne Cinema where he saw his first-ever movie with his father: “The Poseidon Adventure” in 1972.
“This is the last landmark in Malverne,” Aresta said. “It’s going to hurt seeing Anne and Henry leave. And just their legacy. They’ve employed so many kids over the years.”
About 7 p.m., as the final films let out, Anne Stampfel sat on a chair in the lobby, watching her customers, for the final time, filter out into the damp night.
“Thank you,” one customer said, turning to her.
Stampfel let a small smile form on her face: “Thank you.”
