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, JANUARY 2, 2018 (All show times are local)

Start 2018 the right way with a screening of stone cold classic ALIEN at Row House Cinema in Pittsburgh at 1:45 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin is screening AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON from a 35mm print at 9:45 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

Catch Tony Jaa in the bone-crunching martial arts action of ONG-BAK at the Laurelhurst Theater and Pub in Portland, OR at 9:20 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

Billy Wilder’s suitably cynical version of a romantic comedy THE APARTMENT is screening from a 35mm print at the Metrograph in New York at 1:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

Sure, New Year’s Eve has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean you should skip seeing TERROR TRAIN at the Alamo Drafthouse in Winchester, VA at 7:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

Somber to the max, but earning every bit of praise it received, Hugh Jackman’s swan song in his signature role LOGAN screens at the Museum of Modern Art in New York at 7:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.
