What we’re about
Welcome to the Amsterdam Film Group. Join us as we explore the magic of cinema! Our group is dedicated to bringing "cinemates" (people who enjoy watching films with others) together to watch films in cinemas and engage in lively discussions afterward. Whether you’re into foreign films, sci-fi, classics, action, drama, or anything in between, there’s a place for you here.
The hosts will do their best to organize screenings of different genres of films at various cinemas in Amsterdam. Everyone is responsible for buying their ticket (a link will be posted in the event description). This is an open space where group members can organize film events themselves. The hosts will post events for films they are interested in, but we encourage everyone to do the same! If you find a film you'd like to watch together and discuss afterward, please feel free to post it in the WhatsApp Group. All film suggestions are welcome and encouraged!
Come for the films, stay for the conversation. See you soon!

Aguirre, the Wrath of God (German w/ English Subtitles)

Directed by: Werner Herzog
Starring: Klaus Kinski, Helena Rojo, Del Negro, Ruy Guerra, and Peter Berling
Runtime: 1 hour 35 minutes
Year: 1972
Set in the 16th century in the rainforests of South America, Aguirre, the Wrath of God follows a doomed expedition of Spanish conquistadors as they venture deep into the Amazon rainforest in search of the legendary city of gold, El Dorado. When the fanatical soldier Lope de Aguirre overthrows his superiors and seizes control, the journey becomes a descent into madness, obsession, and the destructive allure of power. Herzog’s visionary direction transforms this tale of conquest into an elemental struggle between human ambition and nature’s indifference, rendered through hypnotic imagery and an ethereal Popol Vuh score. This legendary film stands beside Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now — monumental works whose directors ventured to extraordinary extremes to bring their epic visions to life.
The film is in German, with English subtitles.

Edward Scissorhands - 4K Restoration (English w/ no subtitles)

Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, and Dianne Wiest
Runtime: 1 hour and 45 minutes
Year: 1990
The Amsterdam Film Group is happy to invite everyone to a special Christmas Eve screening of this modern gothic fable. Edward Scissorhands drifts through a pastel suburb like a fallen fairy-tale creature, his razor-sharp hands revealing both a gentle heart and a profound sense of isolation. Taken in by the warm-hearted Peg Boggs, he becomes an overnight sensation, transforming hedges, hair, and eventually the lives of the townspeople. Yet the same community that first embraces him soon grows fearful of his difference, turning his fragile love for Kim into a final sanctuary against the rising tension. Tim Burton’s film remains a haunting portrait of longing and the high cost of trying to belong in a world that fears the unknown.
Please note that there are no subtitles for this film.

Directed by: Rob Reiner
Starring: Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, and Carrie Fisher
Runtime: 1 hour and 36 minutes
Year: 1990
“I’ll have what she’s having!” A timeless classic that feels especially meaningful following the recent passing of director Rob Reiner. As the year Harry and Sally navigate a decade of friendship, sweaters, and the age-old question of whether men and women can truly stay platonic friends. The film remains the gold standard for romantic comedies, blending sharp wit with a cozy New York atmosphere that culminates in one of the most iconic New Year's Eve scenes. We hope you will join us for this tribute to Reiner’s genius, featuring the legendary deli scene.
Please note that this film does not have subtitles.
