Sobre nosotros
People often ask me, "What IS a Classic Movie?". Well, one thing for sure is that it doesn't HAVE to be made before you were born AND it doesn't HAVE to be in B&W. It MAY be both but, on the contrary, it may have come out in 2023 at Christmastime, like Alexander Payne's The Holdovers. A Classic Movie is a GREAT *movie that stands the test of time but may not be truly appreciated in its own time, like **Frank Capra's *It's a Wonderful Life (1946).
MISSION STATEMENT: Let's get together and watch GREAT movies of ALL eras & genres on The Big Screen AND at small events at members’ homes!
Our goal is not JUST seeing the best movies of both the past AND today, but making time afterward to talk about them and perhaps even becoming Film Friends.
There will also occasionally be events related to other areas of the Arts and local culture.
And each year we have an Oscars Party!
Although based in Fenton, MO, we will host events throughout the Metropolitan area, on BOTH sides of the Mississippi AND Missouri Rivers, including both St. Charles County and Edwardsville, IL!
We are looking for an ACTIVE membership, which for us means you'll attend at least ONE event each year.
Please submit a recent "selfie" profile photo when you join so we can easily recognize you at our doorsteps and in public places. Profile photos are most effective when they include only one human being and when that human being is not wearing sunglasses =OR= a hat.
I hope you'll also consider supporting my wife, Shirley's, plant-based eating group: https://www.meetup.com/plant-based-stl/

Written and directed by the great Sofia Coppola, MARIE ANTOINETTE is an electrifying yet intimate re-telling of the turbulent life of history’s favorite villainess. Kirsten Dunst portrays the ill-fated child princess who married France’s young and indifferent King Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman). Feeling isolated amidst the prim-and-perfect gardens of Versailles, surrounded by a royal court rife with scandal and intrigue, Marie Antoinette defied both royalty and commoner by embracing decadence. A commercial and critical disappointment when it was first released, Coppola’s satirical yet empathetic take on rich-kid ennui has aged like a fine Piper-Heidsieck over the past two decades and is now rightfully embraced for its vibrant fashion, post-punk soundtrack, and too-cool-for-school sensibility. If its reliability as a historical portrayal of pre-Revolutionary France may be somewhat dubious, MARIE ANTOINETTE’s ability to capture the feel of mid-’00s indie sleaze within the confines of a costume drama remains unparalleled.
In honor of the film’s iconic soundtrack, come out early for an alternative ’80s music videos pre-show, starting at 6 pm.
