CHELSEA —  Two rooftop film series are offering West Side movie buffs a chance to enjoy a breeze with their classic Hollywood hits.

The summer film festival at the McKittrick Hotel was curated by Amy Poehler and features her favorite films, including "Rushmore," "The Bicycle Thief" and "Sixteen Candles." Tickets are $20 and sold online. Next week's screenings of "The Jerk" are already sold out, according to the website.

The McKittrick Hotel's Gallow Green rooftop is located at 542 W. 27th St. between Tenth and Eleventh avenues.

Atop Yotel on Tenth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, the Rooftop Film Club will play hits such as "Blade Runner," "Dirty Dancing" and "Some Like It Hot" through the end of August.

The Yotel screenings do not use amplified sound. Instead, attendees will listen to the movies on headphones that are provided.

Tickets, sold online, cost $16.82. For an additional $10.55, you get a taco and beer or sangria, a spokeswoman confirmed.
