47. Charlotte Sky and Vic & Dylan Skolnick

Vic, Charlotte and their son Dylan run Huntington’s Cinema Arts Centre, one of only 10 theaters in the country to showcase imported films. This quiet trio of bohemian sophisticates can be more influential than decision-makers at better-known cinemas in Manhattan. The Oscar-bound Far From Heaven grossed more at CAC than any other theater on Long Island. CHEER THEM for saving us the trip to the Angelika. FEAR their three-week Uzbeki film festival.
