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!

Quentin Tarantino is the Jerry Lee Lewis of cinema, a pounding performer who doesn’t care if he tears up the piano, as long as everybody is rocking. His new movie “Pulp Fiction” is a comedy about blood, guts, violence, strange sex, drugs, fixed fights, dead body disposal, leather freaks, and a wristwatch that makes a dark journey down through the generations.
Seeing this movie last May at the Cannes Film Festival, I knew it was either one of the year’s best films, or one of the worst.
Tarantino is too gifted a filmmaker to make a boring movie, but he could possibly make a bad one: Like Edward D. Wood Jr., proclaimed the Worst Director of All Time, he’s in love with every shot – intoxicated with the very act of making a movie. It’s that very lack of caution and introspection that makes “Pulp Fiction” crackle like an ozone generator: Here’s a director who’s been let loose inside the toy store, and wants to play all night. (Roger Ebert) - Summer of Burt Lancaster - MINI MIXER!Improper City , Denver, CO
For those of you who have been participating in our Summer of Burt Lancaster (or even if you haven't) come join us this Sunday afternoon at Improper City to talk about Burt Lancaster! The films we have watched so far are:
- The Killers (1946)
- The Leopard (1963)
- Elmer Gantry (1960)
- Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
If you haven't been following along, feel free to watch one or more of these films (or any other Burt Lancaster film) and join us on Sunday!
This won't be as formal as a deep dive, we'll just chat and mingle with the overarching theme of... Burt Lancaster.(This is not to be confused with our seasonal mixers - watch for an announcement soon of our official Summer Mixer in August!)
I'll have a black and yellow Denver Cinema Club sign, and I will post here with where I am after I've staked out a space.
- JEOPARDY! Bar League Trivia - Alamo Sloans Lake - Sunday, June 22 - 4:30 PMAlamo Drafthouse Sloans Lake, Denver, CO
Join DCC for JEOPARDY! Bar League trivia at BarFly, the bar at the Sloans Lake Alamo Drafthouse. Jackson will be our host this week. The contest starts at 5:00, but the group will meet at 4:30 to stake out seats, place food and drink orders, and get acquainted.
It's free to play, though--understandably--BarFly would like participants to order something. Teams can have up to six players; if more than six DCCers show up, the group will split into two teams.
Here is the web page for the game. You'll find lots of DCCers among the photos.
The group will aim for the couches on the south side of the bar, along the windows overlooking Colfax. Look for a small Denver Cinema Club sign. Arrive early if you can, and help save seats!
