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.
Wishing everyone a sunny week!

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.
I believe the Manager was also associated with the Malverne which just recently closed. One of the Facebook posts subsequent to closure of the North Shore Towers mentioned the film about Harvey Milk would be playing at the Malverne.
Now there are only monthly “greetings” on Facebook. The theatre is gone, however.
Please update, closed according to the former manager it closed end of April 2024
The Theatre is closed and, apparently, has been so for months. According to a May posting on the theatre’s Facebook page: “The Board of Directors and the Management of the North Shore Towers Theatre have decided to take the Theatre to another direction”. Whatever that means. Phone is disconnected.
Nice to see they still use real masking side to side
Please update, the town is Floral Park, Not Douglaston and uploaded some photos a friend sent me on his recent visit in the photos section.
Unlike other theatres has survived Covid.
Please update, theatre open in mid 1970’s when the apartment complex was completed.
Have lived in Queens for 19 years and never visited this theater today to see the Oscar Nominated shorts. Surprised it was so big, very nice. Concessions seems only to be $2 popcorn freshly made at Malverne theater which I go to on a regular basis.
Photo uploaded from the website.
The locations is being taken over by the owners of Malverne in a couple of weeks
This is a one screen theatre which books multiple films, as does the Sag Harbor. The recording probably included several films for the weekend including the Iron Lady and the Descendents which continue into next week.
A call to the box office recording (718-229-7702) states that there are shows at 1, 3, 5 7 and 9, with no overlapping or duplicate showtimes, indicating a single screen theater.
The North Shore Towers website states that there is a 460 seat movie theater on the premises and shows a picture of it.
Nice to see this place still going!
I lived in North Shore Towers as a kid from 1977 to 1979. Imagine what a thrill it was to have a movie theater right downstairs at the lower level. Back then, the theater was NOT open to the public and it showed mostly second-run films. My parents didn’t let us go all that often, but these are the movies I remember seeing there:
I live in Great Neck now. One of these days, I’ll have to make the effort to go see a movie there and relive that theater.
As M76L commented back in January of last year, the Daily News lists this as the North Shore Tower Twin. Perhaps they are confused by the theater’s creative scheduling policy which allows a number of different films to be run throughout the day – creating a single screen multiplex, if you will, for Towers' residents. For example, the theater’s Sunday lineup was as follows:
“Bobby” at 12:30pm; “51 Birch Street” at 2:30; “The Illusionist” at 4:00; “The Departed” at 6:00; and, once again, “51 Birch Street,” at 8:30.
That schedule sure is tight. “Bobby” clocks in at 2 hours and “The Departed” at 2:29. They must practically run the films right up against each other with no previews or adverts. I guess they cater to a very narrow audience and fly under the industry radar? During the week, the theater reduces its screenings to two each evening, staggering those same films on different nights.
I have not yet seen “The Departed” and there is a screening here at 8:30 tomorrow… I might take the opportunity to catch up with that film and check out this theater as well.
Two years ago it was being kept up very nice, I have not been there since.
what kind of shape is this theater in?
RCDTJ:
According to North Shore Towers own web site, their property sits within the Floral Park Zip code 11005. It is near Douglaston but it does not sit in the Douglaston Zip area. Perhaps the south end of Little Neck is more discriptive of the theatre’s location.
Also … The map link at the top of this entry is incorrect (it places the theatre in Queens Village).
Floral Park ends at Union Turnpike. This theater is well north of union.
The apartment complex is located in Floral Park, NY with a Floral Park Zip Code. The complex likes to use optimistic sounding Lake Success in real estate ads.
The Daily News incorrectly biils the theatre as a twin (heck, it’s Newsday /Times territory).
Also, the theatre does decent business from the residents as well as from nearby visitors.
I have a feeling this theatre was built many years before they actually opened it. Its a large auditorium with a big screen. The interior will remind you of Centurys.
Stating the obvious, but make that ‘previously’, not ‘previosuly’…
A photo of the interior of the North Shore Towers Cinema auditorium appears on page two of today’s (11.26.04) NY Post, accompanying an article discussing an agreement by the towers' residents to pay the city $140,000 to settle a $1 million bill on a previosuly obscure tax the city failed to collect for 17 years.
