CROSS PICKS

Comedian and actor David Cross has curated a series of his favorite movies for Anthology Film Archives. The aptly named “David Cross Selects” includes Terrence Malick’s “Badlands” (1973) (Friday, 9 p.m.). Another highlight is a “special Earth Day presentation” of the so-bad-it’s-good Steven Seagal movie “On Deadly Ground” (1994). As Mr. Cross wrote in the program notes, “The level of absurdity reached, as well as the sheer number of ways in which it reaches it, will leave you with chills and possibly a fever. Mankind has not known a fool as loud and puffy as Sir Steven Seagal in several centuries” (Friday, 11 p.m.). All screenings: Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Ave. at 2nd Street, 212-505-5181, $8 general, $6 seniors and students, $5 members.

HOME MOVIE

Jonathan Caouette’s memoir on film, “Tarnation” (2004), screening Fridays at midnight this month in the East Village, is a mishmash of home video, pop songs, and film clips assembled on the cheap using Apple’s iMovie software. Mr. Caouette began documenting his life – including his mother’s mental illness, his developing sexuality, and his move to New York from Texas – when he was just 11. Fridays through April 29, midnight, Two Boots Pioneer Theater, 155 E. 3rd St., between avenues A and B, 212-591-0434, $9 general, $6.50 members.
