THE DAILY RUNDOWN is a quick look at just a few of the cool screenings and film events happening around the U.S. every day. It is not intended to be an exhaustive, comprehensive list, but a sampling of the terrific genre cinema available to check out at your local art house, megaplex, film society, and repertory theaters.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 (All show times are local)

Jackie Chan’s thoroughly badass POLICE STORY is playing at the Alamo Drafthouse in Dallas at 9:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

The New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles is celebrating the 20^th anniversary of JACKIE BROWN by pairing it up with complementary films this week. At 7:30 pm, ALLIGATOR is showing with Robert Forster on hand to do a Q&A after the film. JACKIE BROWN then plays at 9:30 pm. Both films are screening from 35mm prints. Tickets and info can be found here.

It may lack the gut punch surprise ending of the first film, but SLEEPAWAY CAMP II: UNHAPPY CAMPERS is still a fun time for slasher fans. It is screening from a rare 35mm print at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin at 10:00 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

A 35mm print of Nicolas Roeg’s THE WITCHES is being screened at Quad Cinema in New York at 5:00 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

The bonkers alien invasion trash classic XTRO is screening from a 35mm print at the Alamo Drafthouse in San Francisco at 10:00 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

The Hollywood Theatre in Portland, OR is showing the mid-’80s Cynthia Rothrock vehicle ABOVE THE LAW at 7:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

You can never accuse Brian Yuzna’s directorial debut SOCIETY of being too subtle. But what it lacks in finesse, it makes up for in anger and pure gooey makeup effects. You can catch it screening from a 35mm print at the Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn at 9:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

If you know of an under-the-radar theater or film society regularly putting together repertory screenings or special events, feel free to let me know on Twitter!
