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.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2017 (All show times are local)

DAILY GRINDHOUSE is sponsoring a 70mm screening or Walter Hill’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fable” STREETS OF FIRE at midnight at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago. It will also be shown on Saturday night at midnight, so you have two chances to catch this one of a kind 70mm experience! Tickets and info can be found here.

The Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, MA is showing a double feature of Wes Craven’s flawed but interesting adaptation of SWAMP THING and Jim Wynorski’s just plain flawed THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING (screening from a 35mm print) at 11:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

George Miller’s epic return to action filmmaking MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is the midnight film at the IFC Center in New York. Tickets and info can be found here.

Preston Sturges’ classic comedy SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS is screening from a 35mm print at the Northwest Film Center in Portland, OR at 5:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

The Coen Brothers’ oddball film noir/dark comedy mashup THE MAN WHO WASN’T THERE is screening from a 35mm print at the Museum of Modern Art in New York at 1:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

The Alamo Drafthouse in Lubbock, TX is showing Guillermo del Toro’s PAN’S LABYRINTH at 10:00 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.
