Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Ninotchka, The Searchers, Vertigo. If titles like these don't start your cinematic blood racing -- and especially if they do -- it's time to rediscover the treasures of Hollywood's "Golden Age" (1930-1950), as they were meant to be seen: on the big screen! The Classic Films Meetup is all about seeing great movies with other classic film fans. Our base of operations is the beautifully restored Stanford Theatre, in Palo Alto, with occasional forays to …

If you're interested in meeting up occasionally to see a film, mostly independent and sometimes not, and also meet some cool people, then this is the meetup for you. We usually stick to theaters around Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Redwood City. We also meet for coffee or dinner, before or after depending on the movie time. Please check out our "About" page to learn more about the group. Hope to see you soon! Stefan

Ever felt frustrated after a truly great film 'cuz you couldn't mull it over with a like-minded friend?? We sure have!! Now you can meet with an eclectic and easy-going group of film fans, to share some great food, drink and interesting opinions about the film.

Really! Suggest something! And when it comes to Board Games...I am often asked "What kind of Games do you play?"

Do you hate going to the movies by yourself? Have you ever found yourself with nothing to do on a Friday night? Want to unwind after a hard week at work? Do you want to meet other movie lovers? If you answered yes to any of these questions then why not join us for Happy Hour, go see a great movie and then form your own group afterwards to discuss it over dinner, a frosty margarita or a cup of coffee! Let me know what you are dying to see when you RSVP yes and I'll update the details with movie o …

This group is all about fun! We eat, drink and play. Meet new people, try new places, connect with old friends - just have a great time! We do all sorts of things - especially eating and lots of it. We always end up eating, whether it's included in the event or not. :) We do and go wherever it sounds good. It's all on the Peninsula - we always stay close to home. So come along and join us!

This group is to bring together kindred souls interested in learning about and meeting people from different parts of the world while doing activities around the bay area that differ from just the ordinary Bar/club scene. There might always be the occasional happy hr, but our avenues will also be range from food, books, music, movies, museums, or Lectures, and all the while, stimulating conversation. The goal is expanding knowledge of the beautiful area we live in, as well as possibly thru cultu …

Hi there - and Welcome to our Meetup group! My name is Rick Haffner... a long-time South Bay, professional actor, director, vocalist and clown. I have a passion for both Film and LIVE Theatre! (Be sure to check out our LIVE theatregoing group - Bay Area Theatre Lovers - http://theater.meetup.com/173/) - if that interests you! I earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Acting & Directing many years ago and am a current Screen Actor's Guild/AFTRA member. I love to attend all kinds of movies and enjo …

This group is for people who love to watch and discuss movies of all genres: mysteries, suspense, horror, classics and current. We will meet once a month. Meetups can be set up for anything related to our common love of movies. For instance, we may meetup to have an informal discussion on some of the great movie classics. We can attend some of the independent and/or movies that play at the Vine theater or other theaters in the East Bay area and discuss them afterwards in a group setting. Or we c …

***DISCLAIMER: Girls are allowed :) ... if you fit the description and like to hang out as one of the guys then join up! *** THE SITUATION: During the day, you're a young professional. When you're with the significant other, you're the best boyfriend/husband ever (that is, unless you're single... then you're just the guy that enjoys his mom's cooking). But a lot of the time, you're a guy that just wants to do guy stuff. You want to talk about Natalie Portman, sports, comics, and food. You want …

The purpose of this group is to provide a fun atmosphere  to share  activities like movies, happy hours, hikes, and wine tasting etc.. with new and old friends.

Enjoy film? Like discussions that move beyond likes and dislikes and explore the ways character and circumstance in film reveal true aspects of life and the ways humans relate deeply (or don't)? In this group we'll meet at the Landmark Theater in Berkeley for matinees on some Saturdays--September through November, view artful films, and then stroll to a local cafe' for discussion and coffee/tea for about an hour. Join for one, Saturday a few, or all four. Potential for movie and dinner as a fun …

Blockbusters? Indie? Cult? You can get those anywhere. This is the group for movies so bad they're good. The weird, the bizarre, the horrible acting, the ridiculous concepts, the non-work-safe hilarity. Most people are just uncomfortable watching them, but for whatever reason they tickle the suitably twisted sense of humor. Would you watch a movie called Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, because a movie with that title must be awesome?  Does your list of cinematic classics include things like Barbare …

Are you curious about and interested in environmentalism on the planetary scale? We want to understand the Earth's ecological systems -- from a non-technical perspective -- and the crises they are now undergoing.  We include climate change, species extinction, resource depletion, economic collapse, the collapse of civilizations, and the end of industrial society in our discussions.  We want to learn how we can live with global crises and support one another through the worst of times ahead since …

If you’re like me, you are a single/divorced/or widowed, professional 40+ woman who works 40+ hours during the week and has little time (or energy for that matter) to develop friendships with other woman. I try to plan outings on the weekends – shopping, movies, hikes, festivals, Sunday coffee etc., and while I enjoy my own company it would be nice to share the experience(s) with a friend or two. So, I thought that creating “Weekend Friends” would be a great idea for women like me living in the …

There are few periods in film history that were more influential and more fun that the Italian Spaghetti Westerns made between 1964 and the mid 1970s. You will find more action or gun play anywhere. Not even a Shakespearian tragedy could pile up bodies like the Italians would. From Sergio Leone to Sergio Corbucci to Enzo Barboni; from Clint Eastwood to Lee Van Cleef to Klaus Kinski and hundreds of Italian unknown actors; these movies are endless fun. Once a month Gun Slingers get together to sha …

If you love books and movies, why can’t you discuss both? I started South Bay Books and Movies because I wanted a club where people get together to discuss books and movies. In South Bay Books and Movies we will be spending time discussing fascinating books and movies while expanding our interests and not worrying about the details. We will meet every one to two weeks to discuss our book club selection and every three weeks to watch a movie and discuss it afterwards over dinner or late lunch. We …

Now that Fremont has a movie theater at the Pacific Commons, it is time for us to have our own movie meetup. There is plenty of parking at the Pacific Commons Cinemark. This meetup group will have movies and other activities around the East bay to enjoy. This is for for people who are responsible, positive and not flaky.

We are a community of performers, models,  producers, directors, production professionals, make up artists, and film goers. We meet regularly to collaborate on producing films and other projects. We also watch films and critique them.  We also have events of interest to people interested in still photography. We will share our knowledge and skills with one another. We will support each other in achieving our aspirations and realizing our dreams. Most of our events are free and open to all.

This is a 2-pronged activity group for the more mature (ahem! 45+ members) that I want to create, and the two planned activities may or may not intersect: (1) a monthly dining group that will try out various restaurants in our very diverse Bay Area (taking a cue from restaurants featured on CHECK PLEASE, BAY AREA); and (2) a movie/video group that can go to quality films on (a) a matinee basis and (b) eventually screen videos at home of past classics mingled with a potluck dinner. Geographically …

I couldn't find a group for slash fans in the area, so I started one! If you like the female-friendly fandom spaces of LJ, AO3, DW, tumblr, are excited for Yuletide, etc, please join up! I'm hoping to have some low key cafe and restaurant meetups, as well as movie meetups and tv nights if people are interested. Also of interest: some people have kindly told me about the San Francisco Bay Area Slashers (SFBAS) yahoo group. They have meetings at rotating locations in the Bay Area every other month …

Hi all. I'm starting this group for all the movie goers specially for the east bay. Century 25 at Union City is the best place to start with. Each week i will choose one movie we can go to. All the members are welcome for suggestions.

Looking forward to exploring the Bay Area with everyone. :) Feel free to suggest a meetup if you want to do something.

Also, this is NOT a dating or singles only meetup group so if you star …

The Penny Arcade Expo (aka PAX) is an event held each year in Seattle, Boston, and Melbourne (Australia), with the intent of bringing people together who enjoy games-- video games, board games, role-playing games, etc. If you're a regular attendee of PAX and you're looking to meet people who also attend PAX every year, this group is for you. We'll meet periodically to do whatever folks in the group want to do. This could include gaming nights, movie nights, mountain biking adventures, etc. For P …

Join us on a fun film project! Its a party we serve free food and drinks at every meet up! Our way of saying thanks for your interest in our project. As a response to challenged books listed in the Huffington Post, like Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, along with Twilight, Captain Underpants, Harry Potter and many others, we have decided to produce a documentary/drama on HD video to address banned books in U.S. This film project will demonstrate how books become challenged and eventually banned …
