FIRST LOOK PICTURES/EVERETT COLLECTION

Parker Posey is the center of attention in 1995's 'Party Girl,' screening at 92YTribeca.

1. New Yawk New Wave (filmforum.org) January rarities at Film Forum include Brian De Palma’s “Greetings” and “Hi, Mom!” both starring a young Robert De Niro.

2. Global Lens 2013 (moma.org) MoMA’s annual spotlight on emerging cinema takes us to Serbia, Chile and Kazakhstan. Or try the Brazilian drama “Southwest.”

3. First Look (movingimage.us) The Museum of the Moving Image is also highlighting international film, with movies like the German thriller “In the Shadows.”

4. “Party Girl” (92y.org/Tribeca) Hang with the original indie It Girl on Monday, as Parker Posey shares her ’90s comedy at 92YTribeca.

5. “Chasing Ice” Not feeling the urgency over global warming? This visually and thematically stunning doc may change your mind.

6. “Three on a Match” (ifccenter.org) Catch Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart Monday at the IFC Center, in Mervyn LeRoy’s daringly blunt Pre-Code melodrama.

7. New York Jewish Film Festival (filmlinc.com) Lincoln Center’s impressively broad lineup includes docs (“Numbered”), romantic comedies (“All In”) and thrillers (“Aliyah”).

8. “To Rome With Love” Not Woody Allen’s very best, perhaps, but worth catching on DVD when it comes out Tuesday.

9. Free Films (nypl.org) January movies are notoriously dismal. So it’s the perfect time to see classics like “The Maltese Falcon” and “Dr. Strangelove” at local libraries.

10. “Back to the Future” (landmarktheatres.com) Make a date with Michael J. Fox, midnight on Friday and Saturday at the Sunshine.
