Welcome, Classic Film Fans!

If you were born after 1965 there's a good chance you've only barely been introduced to the amazing world of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood movies (Technicolor, CinemaScope, Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, etc.) and likely seen only one or two on the big screen. Now's your chance to discover them!

Now you can meet other very social Bay Area classic film fans with a common interest in seeing classic films on the big screen!! We don't just meet for a movie and go our separate ways; it's not as much fun! We always start (or end) at some cool pub, sports bar, etc. for at least an hour of drinks, appetizers and a variety of conversation in conjunction with going to the Stanford Theatre. If that sounds like fun, join us!

FYI, from October 1, 2009, our resident, degreed film expert (Asst. Organizer Russ) will be actually running this group. Most of you will have already met him and TFN he'll have full control over every aspect of it while my job keeps me too busy to organize and manage the group.
