What we’re about
Welcome, Denver Cinephiles!
Denver Cinema Club is a social group for people who love independent, foreign, and classic films. We see four or five films a week, typically at the theaters in central Denver. After watching a film, we usually go to a nearby restaurant to have a snack or drink, chat about the movie, and socialize. It's a diverse, friendly group, and everyone is welcome.
In addition to our regular outings, we also attend special events: film festivals, trivia contests, seasonal mixers, Oscar parties, free screenings, etc. Watch your Meetup calendar for these, too.
We encourage group participation: we invite members to organize events of their own, and we have a discussion board and Facebook page for any film-related topics you'd like to bring up. We also publish a monthly newsletter of club news and reviews, the Denver Cinema Club Dispatch.
We hope to see you soon!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- One Last Beer at Burns - Thurs, May 29 - 6:00 PM - Burns Family Artisan AlesBurns family , Denver , CO
Sadly, our friends at Burns Artisan Ales are closing their taproom at the end of May. We have been going there often for our deep dives and other watch-at-home, meet-at-the-bar events.
Before they close, let's go one more time for a Simply Ornate or a Gossamer Golden or a Barrel-Aged Schwarzbier. No need to watch a movie this time, we'll just enjoy our beers and chat--well, probably about movies.
As usual, we'll shoot for the picnic tables in back.
Burns does not serve food, but they let you bring it in. Maria Empanada is a half-block away, and Joy Hill Denver pizza is just across Broadway.
See you at Burns!
- Summer of Burt Lancaster!Link visible for attendees
THIS IS NOT AN IN-PERSON MEETUP! It's not even a virtual meetup! It's a "watch together and discuss on Letterboxd" film series.
The Summer of Burt Lancaster will take place on this list on the DCC Letterboxd page. Every two weeks I will post a Burt Lancaster film, and we will discuss it in the comments of the list. You can RSVP to this Meetup event to be notified each time a new film is posted. (Letterboxd is free to join and very useful and fun!)
Why Burt Lancaster? He wasn't on my radar until a few organizers saw and either loved or hated his apparently-polarizing 1968 film The Swimmer. Subsequent conversations with a few Lancaster-loving organizers piqued my interest further. He wasn't just a Hollywood studio beefcake dude. He made interesting film choices and worked with a surprising roster of acclaimed directors (like Stanley Kramer, Bernardo Bertolucci, Louis Malle, and John Frankenheimer). But I've never seen a single one of his films. So I thought I'd try to recruit some other folks from the group into diving into his filmography with me.
Absolutely no requirements, watch what you want, participate in discussion if you're so moved. We'll see where this goes - it's a new thing!
- Bring Her Back @ The Sie Film Center - Calling all Horror fans!Sie Film Center, Denver, CO
More like, Bring Sally Hawkins Her Oscar, amirite?
DCC recently had an advanced screening for Bring Her Back, and we had a blast! Since not everyone was able to make it, let's get scared together and then skedaddle off to Bruz to debrief and discuss with some pints.
It's one of the best horror flicks in recent memory, with some interesting and layered commentary that's more than worthy of discussion! And purely from a horror fan perspective, it's also just so much fun. Did I also mention how amazing Sally Hawkins was in this film?
Bring Her Back is an Australian horror film directed by Danny and Michael Philippou, who also directed Talk to Her (2022). It tells the story of a brother and sister uncover a terrifying secret at the secluded home of their new foster mother.
Check out the trailer HERE
I will be at the lobby around 6:15 pm with a make-shift DCC sign then again at the lobby after the screening to go off to Bruz Off Colfax!
Purchase your tickets HERE (recommended) or at the box office! There is free parking in a parking garage behind The Sie or street parking.
Please feel free to post any comments, questions, or concerns! See y'all there!
