Bryn Mawr Classic Film Lovers Meetup Group

The popularity of Wicked, A Real Pain, and A Complete Unknown continue to dominate our theater! So let’s meet this Saturday night at Fellini Café in Bryn Mawr for the first time for an authentic Italian dinner! As an added bonus, the owner of the restaurant has informed me he will graciously provide us with complementary wine with our dinner. Just a friendly reminder, the restaurant is simply not able to give us all separate checks SO PLEASE BRING CASH for your dinner, 6% tax, and the mandatory 20% tip they will charge us for a group of our size. Also, PLEASE bring $8.00 in cash (Venmo is also an option) to the first event that you attend in the New Year to pay the 2025 dues that Meetup charges our group on its platform. If you don't attend an event before January 31, please direct message me through Meetup for my Venmo information to pay your dues by the January 31 deadline for the new year. Thank you very much!

General Public: $20, BMFI Members: $18, Students with ID: $10

Want to see the best in upcoming cinema before everyone else? Join us for another session of the sneak preview series Talk Cinema, curated by critic/industry veteran Harlan Jacobson. The screening will be followed by a discussion, led by a distinguished moderator.

What film will be featured at this session? That’s a surprise! The title will be revealed in-theater, before the show.

Interested in purchasing a half-season subscription to Talk Cinema (including sessions from January through May)? You can do that here!

Tony (James Stewart) and Alice (Jean Arthur) are mad about each other, but chaos ensues when his family of snooty bankers meets her clan of nutty freethinkers. Awarded statues for Best Picture and Director, Frank Capra’s zany love story brings non-stop laughs—plus sharp commentary on class, country, and the meaning of happiness.
