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.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 2017 (All show times are local)

At 7:30 pm, Bob Hoskins stars in THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY and at 9:55 pm is THE UNTOUCHABLES, Brian De Palma’s mythologizing of the federal government’s feud with Al Capone. Both films are being screened from 35mm prints. Tickets and info can be found here.
