east river park amphitheater
from wild style posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
The East River Park Amphitheater in New York's Lower East Side was the site of the classic hip-hop movie Wild Style's final concert featuring The Fantastic Romantic 5, Chief Rocker Busy Bee and The Rock Steady Crew. Wild Style, from 1982, was about graffiti artist Zoro, played by real life graffiti pioneer Lee Quiñones. You can hear samples of the movie in "A to the K" by Cypress Hill, "Genesis" by Nas, "Professor Booty" by Beastie Boys and probably lots more that I don't know about.
The amphitheater, built in 1941, had fallen into disrepair, but it's since been remodeled and once again hosts public concerts.

Opened in 1989, the Angelika Film Center & Café is located in New York City's Soho district. The Angelika specializes in showing high budget independent cinema.
For his 21st birthday, Kevin Smith went to the Angelika to watch Richard Linklater's film Slacker. He later recalled the screening as his I-can-do-that moment.
From 1997 to 2005, the Angelika Film Center was used as the set for At The Angelika, a weekly TV series distributed by IFC Films.

Park City, UT is the home to the Sundance Film Festival. The Egyptian Theater is the largest theater in town, modeled after the same-named theater in Hollywood. Sex, Lies, and Videotape and Reservoir Dogs (and countless other independent films) secured their financial futures at this theater.
Robert Redford originally wanted to open up a ski resort near Park City with the land he had purchased. However, the elevation is below the snow line, so he needed to come up with another scheme. The Sundance (named after his character in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) empire was born.
