Taxi Driver and hot dogs
You’ll need one accessory to really immerse yourself in the New York of Martin Scorcese’s Taxi Driver: an NYC-style hot dog. Row House Cinema will provide hot dogs (non-meat, too) with mustard and sauerkraut, included with the price of a ticket. Screenings of Taxi Driver run all week long, as part of the theater’s current theme, Day in the Life: Paris vs. NYC, with a line-up including Olivier Assayas’ Irma Vep, Downtown 81 starring Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Francois Truffaut classic 400 Blows. Wed., Dec. 11. 4115 Butler St., Lawrenceville. rowhousecinema.org

The Aeronauts
This is a dramatic adventure movie about two people who want to fly very high in a hot air balloon. It’s based on the true story of aeronauts James Glaisher and Henry Coxwell. In the film, however, the characters are Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne), and a made-up lady aeronaut named Amelia (Felicity Jones), presumably so they could include some women’s balloon empowerment. In the trailer, a older woman tells young Amelia that “women don’t belong in balloons!” Now playing at Southside Works Cinema, 425 Cinema Drive, South Side. clevelandcinemas.com
