Palit puts every showtime at every theater in your city on one board: the indie houses, the repertory screens and the big chains, today and the days ahead. Filter by day, theater or format, and get your ticket from the theater's own site. Going to a screening? Say so. See who else is going, and talk in the screening's chat before the lights go down. In New York, every filmmaker Q&A and intro shows up the moment a theater posts it. Turn on Q&A alerts and Palit tells you right away, by notification or email. Rank what you've seen. Pick a tier, God Tier to Meh, then a few "which was better?" taps put the film in its exact place. Your list has a link of its own to share. Want to see something? Save it, and Palit tells you when it plays. If you have AMC A-List, the A-List card shows what each film this month cost you. Palit currently covers New York, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Atlanta and Boston.
