The Washington Classic & Arthouse Films Meetup Group

Meet with local classic and arthouse film aficionados to discuss award winning classic films, foreign films, independent films, shorts, documentaries and under appreciated cinema. Occasionally we may see a contemporary film together if it relates to the previously named categories and brings one or more of those past award winning films into the discussion, like a remake of "Chicago".

PLEASE CLICK ON MESSAGES OFTEN: YOU CAN CREATE A MESSAGE TO SHARE WITH THE GROUP - ANYTHING BROADLY RELATED. THIS WILL ADD VALUE TO THE GROUP. POST EVENTS & IDEAS. START A DISCUSSION.

Interested in Theater? Join BROADWAY BOUND WASHINGTONIANS Meetup. Features trips to New York City to see Broadway shows, option to share rooms to save costs.

"Eight people signed up and only two came? What's going on here? I like the one other guy well enough, but if he's the only companion next time, I may give up on the group."

"Neither I nor Charles could follow the film very well. We suspect incomplete restoration. The music was talented, but the piano and violin got tiresome after a while. I'm glad it lasted less than an hour."
