“Jailhouse Rock” 

The glorious one-screen movie house in downtown Franklin screens classics and popular flicks of yesteryear weekly. Pick just about any Friday or Saturday and you are likely to find something more fun than what’s at the multiplex—and with better popcorn, too. I picked “Jailhouse Rock” because it hasn’t been overplayed and would be a blast on the big screen. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some dancing in the aisles. Jan. 6-7  Artcraft Theatre  Details
