What we’re about
Hi all! I recently took over this group and am super new to running one! I live in P.H., but happy to travel for a good movie! I have found that as you get older, it can be challenging to meet new people. I am keeping this group as a movie & dining club that will allow people to meet and socialize. I would also love a couple of co-hosts if possible!
The general idea: we would go to the movies 1-2 times a month and then go out to brunch/lunch/ dinner or drinks afterwards. It’s a great way to meet people and you’ll easily have something to discuss.
Please share with me your movie preferences and if there is a restaurant you like or are excited to try!
I intend to plan movies in Pleasant Hill,Concord and Walnut Creek.

Join Backdoor films for the Director’s cut of Amadeus (1984) 3 hour runtime. 10 minute Intermission. Amadeus (1984) Official Trailer - F. Murray Abraham, Mozart Drama Movie HD
Amadeus is a 1984 American period drama film directed by Miloš Forman. Peter Shaffer adapted it from his 1979 stage play, inspired by Alexander Pushkin's 1830 play Mozart and Salieri. Shaffer described it as a "fantasia on [a real-life] theme", as it imagines a rivalry between two 18th-century Vienna composers, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce) and Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham). Salieri struggles to reconcile his professional admiration and jealous hatred for Mozart, and resolves to ruin Mozart's career as his form of vengeance against God.
It was nominated for 53 awards and won 40, including 8 Academy Awards (including Best Picture), four BAFTA Awards, and four Golden Globe Awards (including Best Motion Picture – Drama). Abraham and Hulce were both nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, with Abraham winning.
