Cinema Heads is a movie group unlike the others; our goal is to view movies with a conscious. We enjoy screenings of films prior to their release dates. Screenings that include a discussion with the film directors, cast, critics or the opportunity to get in deeper into the film industry and the purpose behind the making of the film is what appeal to us the most. Afterwards we gather for dinner and or refreshments to discuss the movie we just seen. You may also consider yourself a "Cinema Head" …

If you enjoy reading books written by French / francophone authors and would like to discuss them with other lovers of French Fiction in French, this is a group for you. We try to pick books that are both well written and likely to interest the greatest number of people, including works considered modern (or even classic) classics and more recent prize winners. These books are picked and discussed by our member group, both through polls and at our meetups over a cup of hot chocolate, a cup of co …

Love to go to see indie and foreign films and then talk about them afterward? Me, too! Hi, I'm Francesca, an indie filmmaker and trans-media artist who lived in Manhattan for 25 years and thought nothing of calling a friend and suggesting we meet in an hour at one of the many arthouse theaters around town. But, when I moved to NJ I found my friends here did NOT share my tastes so I created the NJ ArthouseFilm Society (just to sound fancy). And, wouldn't you know it, there are tons of people lik …

Do you sometimes quote lines from a Bette Davis film at the office only to get a blank stare in return?

Well, then you should join up with folks that know just how great classic and quality current films can be--the Classic and Quality Current  Movie Meetup of Manhattan! We go to movies of the 1930 …

Welcome to a Meetup Group exclusively dedicated to Asian Cinema.

This is the group for movies so bad they're good. Does a one star Netflix rating intrigue you? Would you watch Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter simply because a movie with that title must be awesome? Does your list of cinematic classics include things like Barbarella, Zardoz, and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus? More importantly, do you want to get together with a room full of people who just said "yes Yes YES" to the above, and spend hours making fun of horrible movies and laughing your ass off? I've b …

Let's watch all those movies critics rave about. We do not have to agree with the critics, and often I don't, but their reviews are a good way to weed out a lot of stuff I definitely do not want to see.
