AFI plays tribute to Brit Carol Reed, the first movie director to be knighted, with a retrospective November 24 to January 11. His 1949 film-noir thriller, The Third Man, kicks it off. Others to look for: 1947’s Odd Man Out, 1948’s The Fallen Idol, and the 1968 Oscar winner Oliver! 8633 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring; 301-495-6700; afi.com/silver. Films are $6.75 to $9.25.
