Few film venues equal the Heights, that almost magically nostalgic cinema approaching next year's 90th birthday with classic class. This gracefully maintained picture palace presents iconic films noir, comedy legends and musicals from Hollywood's Golden Age. Silent-era gems are accompanied by musical ensembles, or the superb antique Wurlitzer pipe organ whose concerts open Friday and Saturday evening shows. The features are as handsomely restored as the venue. 3951 Central Av. NE., Columbia Heights; 763-788-9079; heightstheater.com
