Outdoor Movie Nights! When Chicago's warmer summer weather allows it, we set up an outdoor movie night each month to take advantage of the season (generally May - Sept). In October, when it gets a bit too cold for movies, we set up a haunted house and pumpkin patch. The lawn space opens early for people to spread out their picnic blankets, mingle with their friends and neighbors, and grab a bite to eat. Before show time - we grill out and BBQ for a few hours while we wait for dusk. People are e …

Calling all movie lovers! I love movies and enjoy going to the movies and especially making new friends with common interests. But I wanted to start a movie meetup group that would also enjoy other things such as dining out, dancing, music, concerts, travel, just to name a few. Life is more enjoyable when you do life together . . . so come on out and let's have some fun.

MEET ME AT THE MOVIES is a monthly screening of a classic Hollywood film, sponsored by the Prairie District Neighborhood Alliance, a non-profit community organization based in the South Loop area of Chicago. Screenings take place in the beautiful recital hall at the Sherwood Community Music School at 1312 S. Michigan Ave. Chicago, with a suggested donation of $5.00 at the door. Proceeds go toward a scholarship program for students at Sherwood.  We would like to connect with movie lovers all over …

A movie group. We will attend a movie twice a month at the Davis Theater in Lincoln Square and disscuss it over a bite to eat at one of the many nearby pubs and restaurants. The group is for anyone who loves movies. These are first run mainstream movies.

Chicago's original & largest Science Fiction & Fantasy Meetup! Our monthly meetup is on the first Tuesday of each month. It's a great place to meet folks and talk about random fandom with long time members and newbies in a relaxed setting with no timetable. The rest of the month join us for movies, dinners, and geeky gatherings of all types! We are an eclectic group into all aspects of Science Fiction and Fantasy including books, movies, TV, gaming and conventions. You are welcome if you've just …

This is a Chicago-Suburban meet-up group designed for people who enjoy the cinema, fine cuisine and more.  Most evening events will consist of a movie, dinner, or a combination of both. Others may include a matinee followed by a film discussion afterwards at a local cafe. From time to time there will also be a foreign film, Indie or Classic movie scheduled, or even live theater. We will have dining venues which will include diverse cuisines from around the world or around the block. In addition, …

This is a social group for people in their 20s/30s in the South-Western Suburbs (Berwyn to OakPark to Naperville to Downers Grove) who are looking to meet like minded people for fun times! I propose wine, bars, happy hours, bowling, dinner, game nights, movies, and more!

We will pick various popular and/or interesting movies at the Evanston Cinemark Theater to see on either Saturday or Sunday nights. If the film we pick interests you, join us. It is also possible that we go to Bravo's after the movie for a late night snack discussion about the movie.

We are a non-for-profit meetup group developed to support the little Queer Film Festival in Chicago. Our goal is to foster a community of passionate volunteers to acquire and showcase quality queer films. Mainstream theaters are hard to come by. We seek small, intimate venues such as wine bars, music lounges and art galleries conducive to social/mingling and make high quality independent programs more accessible to our community. Here are some of our ideas of future meet ups: 1. Women's movie ni …

The Book (Was Better) Club is for cinephiles and bookworms alike. Each month, members will select a book for which a film adaptation was (or will be) made. To keep discussions productive, caps will be placed on how many may attend a given meeting, but meet-ups will be held at least twice a month. So if you don't R.S.V.P. in time for one, just join another! Events will range from discussions (over coffee, tea, wine, or my personal favorite: FOOD) to in-home movie viewings and trips to the cinema.

This is a group of people that get together each Tuesday night to get to know each other. We always eat dinner together. Every other week we play triva at a local bar or have a game night. On the other weeks, we hang out and then spend sometime reading the bible and listening to what God is saying to us...Sound like a weird combo...Jesus might be more fun than you'd think. If you want to make friends, have fun, and look into the God thing (or pursue it more), we're the group for you.

Would love to meet up with some friends to attend local events, meet for dinner, or go to a movie. I have two shiz-tzu's and love to take them for walks and play dates.

We are a group of unlikely friends that enjoy a diverse amount of activities ranging from comedy clubs, to play-dates, trivia, movies, dining out and anything fun! Singles, married, gay, straight, parents, athletes, nerds all our welcome to the congregation of suburbanism.

This group is for couples who want to meet other couples in the downtown area. Preferably this group will do a lot of different activities, bowling, beach volleyball, fun runs, dance classes, wine tastings, and also dinners/game nights. All ideas are welcome, the more the better!

Calling all women of Northbrook (& nearby)! I'm hoping this group helps to create a strong, close-knit community of women in the Northbrook area. I'd like to help connect women in the area and build new friendships. I'd also like us to capitalize on our collective experiences, wisdom and passions. For what purpose? To cover the spectrum: From light-hearted, fun social gatherings (game nights, movie nights, wining, dining, comedy shows, musicals, etc.), to more adventurous activities that we've a …

Hi fellow introverts. Please read guidelines below, before joining this group. (Thank you) We schedule most of our meetups in Lake County, but since we've been getting more members from all over the place, we've been scheduling more meetups in Chicago, Cook County suburbs, and a few north of the border in Wisconsin, or a bit West in McHenry County, just to give you an idea of locations. For those of us who are introverts/loners and/or "live inside" our heads, making new friends can be more of a …

This is a meetup group for desi film/movie lovers from any culture or background. Although the primary focus will be on Hindi ("Bollywood") movies, we can change things up once in a while up with movies in other languages (Malyalam, Urdu, Tamil, etc.). We'd like to start with simple Movie outings and maybe some Dinner + Movie nights. These could be at theaters or at someone's place (it would have to be for movies that aren't newly released). However, we'd like to expand into more creative ones s …

Unite with fans of the fabulous, yet defunct, movie-riffing TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000. We meet one Saturday evening per month to provide MSTie group support and watch an episode. We also get together for field trips to see Cinematic Titanic, Rifftrax, and the occasional bad movie or two. The group has been together five years. Stay cool, keep it light and you'll be welcome indefinitely. Thanks for understanding, and hope to see you soon. Our regular monthly meetups consist of mingling …

This is a group for Streeterville residents to get to know their neighbors, the neighborhood and support the various business and cultural venues together. But if you live elsewhere and really want to learn more about the neighborhood and its fine residents, you're welcome too! These meetups will intentionally be small in number, 1 - 30 people, to facilitate conversation and insure that all the local venues can accomodate our group. However, exceptions are always likely from time to time. Also, …

For couples located in the downtown area interested in networking and making new friends through social events ranging from game nights to traveling and all activities in between.

Hi ladies! I reside in the Lake County, IL. area, & have found that there are not many if any interesting groups on this site for those of us in the far north west suburbs. All the great groups of people appear to be located in Chicago! I myself did not wish to travel all the way to the Chicago land area on a weekly or monthly basis to meet new people, or to make a new friend, especially being that the individuals in the group that I had attended did not wish to do the same for me! NO bueno! Thu …

Created to help professional transgender couples and singles meet to discuss whatever we feel like, or see a movie, or have dinner, without having to hide our gender diverse point of views. Not for partying or sex, just good people and good times. Children welcome when possible.
