SO YOU THINK YOU'RE A MOVIE FANATIC!

• Do your eyes sparkle whenever you hear the phrase Coming Soon To A Theatre Near You?
• Do you spend most of your break times at work raiding Ain't It Cool News, Deadline Hollywood, Variety or The Hollywood Reporter for the latest movie news?
• Are you looking for a cool group of friends to see new flicks with on OPENING WEEKEND?
• Are you SICK AND TIRED of having 500 movies in your Netflix queue...and NO ONE to watch or discuss them with?
• Do you get into intense debates about the symbolism of Fight Club, the endings of Inception & No Country For Old Men or whether Quentin Tarantino is a visionary filmmaker or a hack?
• Do you talk about actors/directors like sports jocks talk about their favorite players/teams?
• Do you scream at the TV in jubilation or disgust when the Oscar nominees & winners are announced?
• Have you been known to close restaurants on any given night arguing over Star Wars or Lord Of The Rings?

Did you answer YES to any - or all - of those questions? Then you need to join us here at SOCAL MOVIE FANATICS!

Since 2006, SoCal Movie Fanatics (SCMF) has been Meetup's prime destination for big screen excitement in the Los Angeles area!  For over 5 years, SCMF Organizer Chris Utley and his team have remained dedicated to gathering members across SoCal every week to see the latest and greatest films from Hollywood.  We are not ashamed to be mainstream - although we do squeeze in an indie/arthouse flick from time to time.

Our Calendar is jumping with movie outings going on across the city! You'll see some great flicks. You'll eat some good food (we always go out to eat before/after the movie). You'll make some great new friends! Sure beats sitting at home alone on a Saturday night streaming Netflix by yourself! :)

Follow these easy steps to attending our events:

• JOIN THIS GROUP!
• Find the movie event that you wish to attend & RSVP 'Yes" for it.
• Read the event throughly for Meeting time/Showtime/Ticket information as well as the Event Host's contact info. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUYING YOUR OWN TICKETS.
• SHOW UP! Look for the the lovely lady/gentleman holding the sign with the SCMF logo at the theatre.
• Join us after the movie for post-movie chat - usually involving some sort of dinner/dessert/coffee.  Many times we grub BEFORE the movie as well.
• If you like us, COME BACK to our next event...and BRING YOUR FRIENDS !

So what are you waiting for? Cancel that Netflix subscription and join us as we prance around Los Angeles searching for the best that Hollywood has to offer! You'll never watch another movie alone again!
