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!

Thanksgiving Weekend: I PLAY ROCKY at the Drexel Theatre + Rusty Bucket!
Drexel Theatre, 2254 E Main St, Bexley, OH 43209, USA, Bexley, OH, USJoin us for a Thanksgiving Weekend event as we kick off the holiday season with the crowd-pleasing biographical drama, I PLAY ROCKY! The film is directed by Peter Farrelly and follows the legendary true story about the development and production of the 1976 Best Picture winning film Rocky! Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film tells the legendary true story of Sylvester Stallone, then a failing actor, as he writes the ultimate underdog story but must fight for his chance to play the role of a lifetime - Rocky Balboa. The film is directed by Peter Farrelly and stars Anthony Ippolito as Sylvester Stallone, alongside AnnaSophia Robb, Toby Kebbell, P. J. Byrne, Jay Duplass, Tracy Letts and Matt Dillon.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_g_Ut0jO-0
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered at this year’s Toronto Film Festival where critics call it, “a cleverly crafted crowd-pleaser” that “captures that hopeful positivity and ingenuity that made Rocky the iconic movie it is.” Others call it a “witty, funny and breezy biopic” that’s “enormously entertaining” and filled with “infectious energy” and “emotional warmth!”
PLAN: We’ll plan for a pre-show bite at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Arrive at 2pm and we’ll have a section reserved for the group! For the movie, we’ll plan for a 4pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but let them know you’re with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts! Exact showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer!
Should be a fun Thanksgiving Weekend event and a great way to kick off the holiday season!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Only on IMAX: THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH at Lennox Phoenix!
Phoenix Theaters Lennox Town Center 24 + IMAX with Laser, 777 Kinnear Rd, Columbus, OH 43212, USA, Columbus, OH, USJoin as we get together to see the comedy-drama from director David Finch, writer Quentin Tarantino and star Brad Pitt: THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH! The film picks up 2 years after Tarantino’s excellent ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD and follows the stuntman turned fixer. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event:
THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH: This comedy drama is a standalone sequel and spin-off to Quentin Tarantino’s excellent 2019 film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. In it, Brad Pitt returns to the role that won him an Oscar! The film is set in 1977 Los Angeles and follows former stuntman Cliff Booth, who has become a Hollywood "studio fixer.” It is directed by David Fincher, written by Quentin Tarantino and stars Brad Pitt, Timothy Olyphant, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller and Karren Karagulian. Netflix is releasing it to theaters for just a couple weeks on IMAX only so this will be an IMAX screening!
EARLY BUZZ: Quentin Tarantino appeared for a surprise visit to AFI Fest where he introduced the film and showed the first 17-minutes which was met with a wild, enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive response. The appeal of Tarantino’s dialogue and David Fincher’s direction pairs well for what one reviewer said promises to be “one hell of a good time!” Can't wait!
