We have been around for FOUR years, and 458 Meetup events - as of March 2013!!  Interesting folks have come and gone, but most are still here! This meetup group is now private, and our calendar (with all special venue listings) is only viewable by our members. You also need to have a photo of yourself (no dogs, cats, boats, monuments, etc.) attached to your profile. We no longer allow members without photos. Other than that, feel free to join! Edging in on fame!  LOL... Read our interview on …

Hi, looking to watch world classic movies with an interested group and discuss afterward (appreciate them or try to figure them out!) Room for about 10+ people in my apt. w/88" projector screen. Casual, fun, film buff group who can be articulate and listen.

New York is home to both phenomenal classic film theaters AND fantastic vegan restaurant options. Let's check out some of the best films that visit the Film Forum, IFC, BAM, etc. and discuss them at a different vegan eatery each time.

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 …

I'm starting this group for those movie fans who tend towards the indie scene and exroidinary movies (i.e. Requin for a Dream, Magnolia, The Salton Sea, The Sweet Hereafter, Pan's Labyrnth,Garden State. Freeway [Witherspoons first picture])...I hope by know you get the picture. And I wouldn't limit it to indie-films only, there is a plethora of good films making theit rounds that never were promotted. After the movie I though we could stop at a coffee shop, grab a coffee or a snack, and then get …

Mondo Culto is a thriving, obsessive, and elaborate "be-in" for friends of Cult Films and the stepping to the punk beat of the East Village: Ass Juice at the Double Down, Karoake at Planet Rose, Cheese Fries at Crif Dogs, and Midnight Movies at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema are just some of the staples of La Vida Mondo Culto. So if you like living after midnight and rocking till the dawn, The Mondo Culto Experience is for you!

Italian cinema is mostly known for its Neo-Realism period (embodied in the masterpieces by Vittorio De Sica) and the brilliant films of Federico Fellini. Yet, Italian Cinema is so much more. Since the beginning of the history of film, Italian Cinema has continually introduced innovative directors and talented actors, screenwriters, composers, set designers, and costume designers to the world. The Cine-Club: 79 Years of Italian Film (1930-2009) allows participants to discover cinematic gems and c …

We will meet regularly to discuss the films of Stanley Kubrick. In general, we will screen the film-to-be-discussed individually before the Meetups; the organizer will come prepared with notes and handouts, and the attendees with their questions and observations. When Kubrick films or events are happening, we will try to go see them! A more ambitious goal for our group will to try to become a useful resource for Kubrick fans everywhere!

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.

I work in Queens and after work I am seeking to meet others who are movie fans like me!! This is a friendship group for movie fans!!

We celebrate the absurd aspects of life... This meetup is for anyone appreciates absurdist/surrealist movies, theater, art, philosophy, etc. As that weird guy in that strange movie once said, try it, you might like it. btw -- if you're a no-show for 3 meetups without letting the organizer or group know, you're removed from the group. On the other hand, if you attend 3 meetups or suggest 3 meetups, then you're totally the opposite of getting removed from this group.

Smart movies are not dull. Keep them playing on the big screen by going to see them in packs.

Welcome to the NYC Grindhouse - the only group on Meetup.com that deals specifically with the Exploitation Film Genre. We'll be watching old classics such as Russ Meyers 'Faster, Pussycat! Kill!

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 …

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 …

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" …
