15 Questions With Allegra Samsen

"there is a great peace in starting my week off with a good movie"

Allegra Samsen

is a reservationist and model based in NYC. She has wonderful taste apparent in her writing and I appreciate her taking the time to talk to me about her moviegoing habits.

1. What’s your favorite day & time to go to the movies?

10am on a Monday. I have Sundays and Mondays off from my Reservationist job and I find it's the most quiet screening. There is a great peace in starting my week off with a good movie. Plus I am an early bird, so this is a very fun morning activity for me.

2. What’s your favorite movie theater?

I love Film Forum. Its historic charm and sharp programming make it a mainstay in New York. It's also in my neighborhood. There is great charisma to this theater and I also find the seats very comfortable. I once saw a screening of my favorite, The Panic In Needle Park (Pacino's soft boy prime) and director Jerry Schatzberg (now 97 years old) was there post screening to talk. It was a wonderful talk, Jerry called Pacino sweet "as a kitten", need I say more?
