🎬 Tuesday Film Club - It Was Just an Accident (2025)

**🎬 Tuesday Film Club - It Was Just an Accident (2025)** 📅 **Tuesday, 17th February** 🕢 **Movie starts at 6:10 PM** 📍 **Ritz Cinema, Randwick** 💺 **Get your ticket in Row F around seat F7** 🍻 **Optional pre-movie drink at 6 PM** After a brief hiatus, we're back with an Iranian film. Interestingly, the director is facing persecution currently for depicting the country in a bad light. 🎟️ **Tickets:** Please buy your own ticket from the [Ritz Cinema Website](https://www.ritzcinemas.com.au/tickets?c=0000000004&s=81166) so we can all sit together. 💡 **Pro tip:** Get the free Ritz membership for $8 Tuesday tickets. It takes a minute to sign up — or message me and I’ll help sort it. 🍻 **Pre-Movie Hang:** We’ll meet at the **Ritz Bar at 6 PM** for a drink. No pressure to consume alcohol — I’ll usually just have a non-alcoholic beer or water. It’s more about the vibe than the beverage. **Occasionally , we postpone it to after the movie, depending on the show times**. *** *"Fresh films from around the world — always fun, never pretentious"* This is a weekly movie meetup at **Ritz Cinema in Randwick**, every **Tuesday** around 6:00–9:00 PM (depending on the movie start time). We watch critically acclaimed, fun, and entertaining films — often international or under-the-radar. Not your usual blockbusters (unless they’re genuinely great), and definitely not slow or overly “artsy” for the sake of it. We meet for a **casual drink at the Ritz Bar** about 30 minutes before the movie. That part’s optional — come early, come late, or just show up for the film. There’s **zero pressure to drink** — I usually just have a non-alcoholic beer or water. It’s a low-pressure, social-if-you-feel-like-it space. 🌀 **The Ethos** This group is for people who want a regular, no-fuss movie night — something simple, reliable, and friendly. We judge movies, not people. 🎟️ **How It Works** • The film is announced by Wednesday each week • You RSVP and buy your own ticket directly (we’ll suggest a seating row) • You can get a free membership with Ritz Cinema that gives you $8 tickets every Tuesday. It only takes a minute to sign up — or just text me and I’ll help you with it. • You’ll get your ticket info before the movie • Optional pre-movie café hang (30 mins) • Watch the movie together 👋 **About Me** Hey, I’m Aman. I started this group because I know how valuable something like this can be — whether you’re new to Sydney or just looking for a consistent plan each week. Meetup groups helped me feel connected when I needed it, and this is a small way of giving that back. This is a chill weekly ritual for people who like movies and good company — without the pressure to perform. Come as you are.
