What we’re about
If you enjoy movies, this is the group for you! We meet several times per month and try to hit 'em all: blockbusters, art house favorites, award-watch films, indies, foreign, anniversary screenings, special events, etc.
We'll plan to get together at least 3 times per month. If you have a request, send me an e-mail! We will usually combine some kind of optional dinner/drinks along with the movie. The best part about seeing movies is sharing the experience with others.
We'll try to post events in advance to help you plan, but because of the nature of the business, sometimes movies will change theaters or just disappear entirely. We’ll set up the event based on the best info available at the time, but understand that show times or even venues may change. All dates, times, and locations will be confirmed a few days before the show, so be sure to check the meet-up page or your e-mail before you go.
Also, please remember that this is primarily a friendship-making, movie-watching group and not a singles group. If romantic connections are your goal and they happen naturally and are mutual, that’s wonderful! But, certain behaviors can not be tolerated. Please let me know if you observe or experience any of the following and the offending member will be removed from the group.
• Sending unsolicited e-mails, messages or greetings or any unwelcome contact with members in person, via phone or other social media apps.
• Hitting on members at events, or creepy / overbearing / weird conduct.
• Solicitation on the Meetup site or at the events please.
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. However, 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.
Thanks for your help in keeping this a happy, chatty, safe, movie-watching group of friends!
Take care & see you soon!

See all- Retro Fun: MONTY PYTHON & THE HOLY GRAIL (50th Anniversary) at AMC Grove City!AMC Grove City 14, Grove City, OH
Join us as we get together for a special 50th anniversary screening of one of the funniest films of all time: MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL! This 50th anniversary presentation will include an special introduction, and seeing it on the big screen with fellow fans should make it all the more special! Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: This now legendary comedy classic follows the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on a fearless and hilarious historical quest in search of the elusive Holy Grail. Featuring one great scene after another, the film follows the Knights of the Round Table and their encounters with taunting French soldiers, a Killer Rabbit, the Knights Who Say Ni, the famed Black Knight and so much more! It is written by and stars the Monty Python troupe, including Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones direct in their feature debuts.

BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The highest grossing box-office British film in the US when it was released in 1975, this cult classic has since become the stuff of legends! In polls by People, Total Film and Empire, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is considered to be one of the greatest comedies of all time! It has a 91% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which says: “A cult classic as gut-bustingly hilarious as it is blithely ridiculous, Monty Python and the Holy Grail has lost none of its exceedingly silly charm."
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and we’ll meet inside the theater lobby between 6:40 and 6:50pm! Special event ticket price is $12.50 but should be fun seeing this one on the big screen! We picked the largest auditorium we could find but advance purchase is advised. We’ll tentatively plan for a “movie only” event but will confirm the possible pre-show bite a little closer to the date of the event.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
