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.
MONDAY, JULY 17, 2017 (All show times are local)
Cinefamily in Los Angeles is doing the double feature of Takashi Miike’s bonkers comedy-musical THE HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS (screened from a 35mm print) and the insane cyberpunk visuals of TETSUO: THE IRON MAN at 7:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.
A 35mm print of Sergio Leone’s landmark A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS is screening at Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn at 9:30 pm. Tickets and info can be found here.

The Castro Theatre in San Francisco is doing the very cool double feature of ROSEMARY’S BABY at 7:00 pm and GET OUT at 9:30 pm. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. Tickets and info can be found here.
