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 …

Hello! This is a group for people who want to go out to the theater to see all kinds of movies: indie, documentaries, block busters, horror, sci fi, fantasy, you name it. If it looks good, I am open to potentially checking it out. In most cases, I will choose theaters in the Oakland and Berkeley area, near a Bart station. Dinner may or may not be included, depending on my schedule for that day. After the movie, we can go to a cafe for drinks, dessert and discussion. I'm looking forward to meetin …

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 …

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.

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.

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 …

Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Ninotchka, The Searchers, Vertigo.

This is an ACTIVE Meetup Group... if you are sensitive to being invited to our events, please note that we schedule about 4-8 events a month. We try to keep emails down to the announcements of the actual movies, and then only to those that RSVP "yes" to a specific event. Other than that, I try to not send out more than one mass non-event email every few months. Our basic mission: To see significant and/or interesting films playing in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and then to go somewhere …

Do you always have to catch the latest scare flick alone because your friends think you are insane to watch this stuff? Do you get strange looks when you start to rave about '2001' or 'House of 1000 corpses'? Are you counting the days until 'The Hobbit' will be finally released? This is your group :) (... and if your friends don't think you're insane please bring them along ... ) We are a bunch of friendly people with an offbeat taste in films, with emphasis on Horror, SciFi and Fantasy.

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 …

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.

We will watch Italian movies with English subtitles (unless otherwise specified). Everyone interested in Italian culture, society, and language is welcome. After the movie, we may opt to discuss the film afterwards in a good restaurant. See you all there! / Ci vediamo lì! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please Note: This is an at-risk activity. By joining us in meet-up activities, you agree to hold the organizers, and other members harmless. You are responsible for your own safety on the meet-up.

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 …

Wouldn't it be great to have a group of gal pals to get together with on the weekend for fun? “Weekend Friends” is for women like me, who work during the week and have little time to develop friendships with other women.  We live in the East Bay (I’m in the Oakland Hills) and want to connect with new friends with similar lives and experiences. This is a private group for mostly single (divorced/widowed) professional 40's & 50's women who are active & friendly and want to get out on the weekend f …

You must be female and over 50 to join.

Please check out our "About" page to learn more about the group. Hope to see you soon! Stefan

This group is for GOOD PEOPLE who like not just meeting other GOOD PEOPLE, but also try to make long-lasting relationships with them. You enjoy hearing about other group members' life as much as you like talking about your own. This group is also for people who want to expand their so …

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 …
