Our movie critic's picks of the week

Jules and Jim PFS at the Roxy, at 2 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday; noon Saturday. Shot in dreamy, newsreel-inspired black-and-white (in CinemaScope, all the better to take in the world!), Francois Truffaut's 1961 triangular romance - with Jeanne Moreau as the focal point and Henri Serre and Oskar Werner as the friends vying for her attention - moves with exhilarating freedom from just before World War I into the 1930s. A tale of sexual exploration and the reverberations of history, it is one of the hallmark films of the French New Wave. Georges Delerue's score is lush, romantic, and modern, and Moreau, with her sad eyes and serene smile, is magic. Part of the PFS' "Cornerstones of French Cinema" series. www.filmadelphia.org, 267-639-9508.

Viva Las Vegas The Colonial Theatre, Phoenixville, at 2 p.m. Sunday. "Bright-light city gonna set my soul on fire," Elvis rumbles in the title track to what's easily among the best of the King's 30-some film forays. Released in 1964, directed by movie-musical maestro George Sidney from a screenplay by a slumming Sally Benson (Meet Me In St. Louis, Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt), the MGM vehicle stars Elvis as race-car driver Lucky Jackson. He roars into town for the city's first Grand Prix, but then Lucky's luck goes bad: Elvis' Elva requires a new engine, and he has to go to work to raise the funds to fix his car. Enter Ann-Margret, fresh from Bye Bye Birdie, ready for some hip-shaking song and dance numbers of her own. The couple flirt, spar, go water-skiing, motor- scooter riding, and helicopter flying, too. The desert highway racing scenes aren't half bad, either. Per their news release, the Colonial is rolling a "lucky" 35mm print. www.thecolonialtheatre.com, 610-917-1228.
