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- 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!

Let’s go watch WEAPONS by Zach Cregger, the director of Barbarian (2022).
This is one of my most anticipated releases of the year, especially because Barbarian was such a hoot and a half. I’ve been avoiding everything about this film (aside from the creepy trailer) as to not be spoiled so i only have the faintest idea of what it’s about! I’m sure we are going to get something completely unexpected!
Synopsis: When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.

As usual, we’ll meet in the lobby and then after the screening, have ourselves a little discussion.
