What we’re about
We are a group of passionate fans of classic movies (say films that are 25 years old minimum, with emphasis on 1920s-1960s). We started as a local fan club for Turner Classic Movies, and we still keep in close touch with other TCM fans. We plan outings for most of the Fathom/Turner Classic Movies Big Screen Classics series, but also take in other classic film screenings at local cinemas, and always go out for refreshments and discussion after. We recently met Eddie Muller at the Noir City Boston festival in June 2019, and have gathered to appreciate one of our own members curated compilation of 'best of' film clips. We encourage anyone to join us who loves classic film or just wants to explore what films they've missed!

Join us for a Holiday Tradition!
The Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge, MA, USIt's that time of the year...the annual Brattle Theater viewing of It's A Wonderful Life.
If you haven't seen this Frank Capra holiday classic or haven't seen it on the big screen, you're missing something special!
The film follows George, a small-town banker who, while considering suicide, meets Clarence, an angel in training. Clarence shows George what life would be like if he had never been born, and through this George is able to realize how valuable one person’s life can be. Forget about watching this classic film at home on TV, the Brattle is showing it the way it was meant to be seen: on the Big Screen on real-live 35mm film!
Starring Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Henry Travers, Lionel Barrymore, and a wonderful supporting cast, including Thomas Mitchell, Beulah Bondi, Ward Bond, and Gloria Grahame.
