About this Meetup





Whatever your movie interests, hopefully you will find an event for you. If not, contact the organizer to make a suggestion. We're all ears and eager for ideas.





Enjoy this trailer from our next movie venture!



Sunday Afternoon Movie







Who are we?




We are people who appreciate a good film. We are a large group of individuals with many different personalities, preferences, and ideas. Whether you like a good drama, action, suspense, horror, comedy, independent, or other type of film, we will have an event for you.

Want to meet the people behind the scenes? Click here to meet the organizers.













What do we do?




Although we are a movie group, our events are not limited to just going to a theater and watching a film. True, this is one of our primary reasons for existence, but we also offer a variety of other interesting events as well: movie trivia game nights, IMAX films (3D or standard), movie themed parties, drive-in trips, outdoor films, and films at non-movie establishments.

Should you choose to join us for one of our events, please view our Event Etiquette to see our suggested guidelines for this group.





What genres do we focus on?




As previously stated, we try to cater to all sorts of tastes in movies. To see a complete listing of all the movies we've seen, please view our calendar. Here are some of the movies we've seen together:



Drama * Horror * Comedy * Foreign






Action * Suspense * Documentary * Sci-Fi






Animated * Sport * Family * Romance






Where do we go?




Because of the many number of theaters available to us, we try to visit various places for our movies. Some of the places we have visited include:


Movies at Brier Creek * Raleigh Grande Cinema * Carmike 15

IMAX Theatre at Exploris * Colony Theater



But really the sky's the limit. We hope to visit even more of the area theaters along with going to other non-theater venues to see movies (like Oliver Twist).
