WHY US



  • We focus exclusively on great foreign cinema - And the best one. So many wonderful films donīt make it to America or they do, but they are overlooked because most people donīt want to read subtitles, only few theaters show them and for a limited time, etc etc.
  • We will use private venues and shows only for us, with a drink or two included. This avoids the problem of not seating together and allows to mingle and socialize more. You wonīt have to find the organizer and who the heck is a member of your group inside theaters full of non-members!.
  • You will be able to meet and discuss the movie with others while making new friends!. Events will provide enough time left to socialize with your fellow movie lovers before and after the movie (around 1 hours before, and 60-90 minutes after). A drink (wine, beer, soft drink) is always included in price.
  • We will always select great quality movies, regardless of where they were made. We plan to include a wide variety of the best European, Asian, Canadian, Australian, Latin American and African movies!.
  • We will not only organize events well, but we will always describe them and the movies well, providing you with all the detailed information you need and deserve to know. We will usually provide a trailer in event description. No lame event/movie descriptions here.
  • Both projector, screen and sound are ours: we have total control to provide the best movie experience.
  • We support movie studios and pay movie rights. Please inquire your organizer about this before you attend any private shows from other groups.
  • We care about our members: we respond all emails and inquiries.
  • Last, but not least, your opinion counts!: We will select movies following members suggestions and opinions provided in profiles, polls and in person.



GROUND RULES!



  • Events are held in private venues, have a low fee and include a drink
  • All our events have the following structure: SOCIAL ---> MOVIE ---> SOCIAL
    That means, there is good time to socialize and meet others both before and after the movie
  • Only advance payment will reserve you a spot. You can pay online in advance via either Credit Card or a PayPal account. RSVPs clicking as YES without payment do not guarantee any spot/s. We always reserve a good number of spots that will be available at the door, at door price - only cash is accepted for those.
  • Advance payments are not refundable unless we cancel or postpone an event - No refunds or credits towards future events are offered if you cancel, NO exceptions - Please pay if you are sure you can attend.


WE DO NOT ALLOW:

  • NEGATIVE COMMENTS/POSTINGS ABOUT MOVIES LISTED FOR FUTURE EVENTS. If you saw and didnīt like a movie we plan to watch, please keep that for yourself!. FYI, we only choose movies that a very large number of viewers LOVED. Fine if you think differently, just please donīt bring that to our website. You can, however, make any comments about movies we already saw.
  • COMMENTS OR POSTINGS spoiling the ending or story for an upcoming movie. Please keep in mind others have not seen it yet!
  • SNOOPING AROUND EVENT ENTRANCE. Please kindly either get in or leave.



BEING A MEMBER



Joining and remaining a member is entirely FREE. For events in private venues we offer a package that includes a seat and a drink. For movie shows in cinemas, you will need to take care of purchasing your own ticket for the indicated show. In any case, event description will provide you detailed instructions on how to guarantee a seat for you in event.
AGE: Minimum age to be a member is 21, as alcoholic drinks are served in events. The majority of our members are in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Please be not older than 59, thank you for your understanding.

Both singles and couples are welcome. Movie events are in private venues and are exclusively for group members. Sorry but you can not bring guests that are not members of the group – please ask them to become members before attending, it is very easy and it is free.

To join, please click on the “Join us!” button and kindly answer all questions.


HOW MUCH DO EVENTS COST?



Events offer an excellent deal for you: Just $15 for one drink (wine, mojito, margarita, beer, some licquors, sodas, etc) and a seat plus the social before and after movie. Currently, if you pay online in advance for some events, you will also receive a DVD movie of your choice at event.

ONLY ADVANCE PAYMENT WILL RESERVE YOU A SEAT FOR THE MOVIE - A simple RSVP as "YES" will NOT.

You can also pay $15 at the door (cash only) if space is available. Price includes a drink as well.

IT IS IMPORTANT that you read the cancellation/refund policy in event descriptions. Unless otherwise specified, our events are NOT refundable if you cancel and we DO NOT provide credits towards future events. Refunds or credits are only honored if an event is cancelled or postponed by us. NO EXCEPTIONS

NO PAYPAL?
Use any credit card, a PayPal account isnīt needed to pay online. You also can pay online without using your regular credit card. Read ---> HERE


HOW DO YOU SIGN UP FOR AN EVENT?



Simply RSVP as YES and show up. Please note that just a “YES” RSVP does not guarantee you a spot. Only paying online in advance does. Also, not being dressed appropriately can get you a denial for admission in the venue.

To buy a ticket in advance you will need either a PayPal account OR a valid credit card OR simply cash to purchase a green dot (rechargable) credit card. Please read how to pay in advance without paypal using a credit card or cash --> HERE.

At event, we only accept cash.
Each person attend events at his or her own risk. We are not responsible for any losses of property, any injuries or any form of damage that would affect you or your property during an event. Attending an event means you clearly understand you can not make organizer/s or the group liable for anything, except not providing the service specified in event description.



CAN YOU BRING A GUEST WHO IS NOT A MEMBER OF THIS GROUP?



No, sorry. For movie events in private venues (not in cinemas), you cannot bring any non-member guests. This is due to circumstances beyond our control. Please ask your friend/s to become a member of this group and sign up for themselves. If they want an advance ticket but don't have a PayPal account, you can pay for them, but they still need to be members of the group before they attend.

Also, events are only advertised to members via email - you will not see events advertised anywhere else. So it is important that you remain a group member in order to receive new event announcements via email.

See you at the movies!
