About us
Welcome to the Columbus Movie Group!
If you enjoy movies, this is the group for you! We meet several times per month and try to hit 'em all: blockbusters, independent, international, art house favorites, award-watch films, under-the-radar gems, special events, and more!
The best part about seeing movies is sharing the experience with others. So, we’ll often combine some kind of optional dinner/drinks/get-together to go along with the movie.
We'll try to post events a few weeks in advance to help you plan, but because of the nature of the business, sometimes movies will change theaters or just disappear altogether. We’ll set up the event with estimated showtimes based on the best info available at the time, but understand that show times or even venues may change. Exact details (showtimes, location, meeting plan, etc.) will always be confirmed as soon as we get the info from the theater (a few weeks to a few days before the show), so be sure to check the meet-up page or your e-mail before you go.
Also, please keep in mind that events listed in the "Discussions" page are not official meetup events and no organizer will be present. I recommend attending only official events where an Organizer will be present. If you do attend movie showings set up by members in the Discussions page or elsewhere, please use caution and only attend if you personally know the individual.
Most importantly, to help keep the group welcoming, safe and fun for all, please remember the following:
1. Be courteous, Kind and Respectful.
2. No Racism, Bigotry, Harassment or Bullying.
3. No Political Posts, Trolling, Rude or Insulting Language.
4. Help Make Sure Everyone Feels Safe. No unsolicited e-mails, messages, greetings or unwelcome contact with members (in person, via phone, or through Meetup or other social media apps). Please avoid hitting on members at events, or creepy / overbearing / weird conduct.
5. No Self Promotion, Soliciting, Advertising or Spam.
Thanks for being part of the Columbus Movie Group and helping to make it a happy, chatty, safe, fun, friendly, respectful group of movie-watching friends.
Look forward to seeing you at the movies!
