Do It. Breakfast at Tiffany's cemetery screening.

There's a Cinespia cemetery screening this Saturday night that you won't want to miss: Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly is beyond charming in this iconic role.

Arrive early, and bring plenty of food and drink--melba toast and cottage cheese (Holly's go-to), martinis, or croissants and good coffee.

I also highly suggest the book.

Saturday August 6 - gates open 7:00 p.m., film at 8:30 p.m. $10 cash at entry gate.
6000 Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood. Info: cinespia.org

Check It. LBD: An Homage to 'Breakfast at Tiffany’s.'

There's nothing quite as iconic in fashion as the LBD: the Little Black Dress. And possibly the most famous of them all? Audrey Hepburn's classic from Breakfast at Tiffany's, of course.

Both are being honored in the new exhibit at FIDM, "LBD (Little Black Dress): An Homage to Breakfast at Tiffany’s." It's the 50th anniversary of the film this year, and to celebrate, Givenchy has created a line-for-line replica of Hepburn's dress, now on display at FIDM. The exhibit is also showing other important LBDs throughout history, including those by Chanel, Christian Dior and Monique Lhuillier; and those worn in film and TV like Alias and True Lies.

Holly Golightly would approve.

LBD (Little Black Dress): An Homage to Breakfast at Tiffany’s is showing until Aug. 13 at the FIDM Museum & Galleries, located at 919 S. Grand Ave. in downtown. Admission is free.

Do It. TCM Classic Film Festival.

Where better to enjoy classic Hollywood than in, well, classic Hollywood? The TCM Classic Film Festival kicks off in Hollywood tonight at Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Egyptian for a weekend filled with screenings of some of best films to ever grace the silver screen, including many that have now been remastered to look and sound better than ever.

Some of the highlights this weekend include An American in Paris, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Godfather, To Kill A Mockingbird, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Citizen Kane, La Dolce Vita, Fantasia, Network and Taxi Driver (the 35th anniversary remastered edition of which I recently saw in theaters and loved), among many, many more. You'll surely find something you've yet to see or want to re-watch, and this is your chance to get it on a big screen. Plus, a few of the screenings will have special guests, like Peter O'Toole, Mariel Hemingway, Kirk Douglas, Leonard Maltin and Mickey Rooney.

Festival passes to catch all the screenings are all sold out -- but would have cost a pretty penny anyway -- but individual tickets for each of the screenings are still available on first-come, first-served basis and are cash only for $20. Time to indulge in the classics.

The TCM Classic Film Festival takes place today until Sunday, May 1st. Check here for more details on screenings and venues.
