Classic Movies, Old AND New
*People often ask me, "What* **IS** *a Classic Movie?". Well, one thing for sure is that it doesn't HAVE to be made before you were born* **AND** *it doesn't HAVE to be in B&W.* **It MAY be both** *but, on the contrary, it may have come out in 2023 at Christmastime, like **Alexander Payne's*** [The Holdovers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holdovers "The Holdovers"). *A Classic Movie is a* **GREAT** \*movie that stands the test of time but may not be truly appreciated in its own time, like \*\*Frank Capra's \**[It's a Wonderful Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Wonderful_Life "It's a Wonderful Life") (1946).* MISSION STATEMENT:  Let's get together and watch GREAT movies of ALL eras & genres on The Big Screen *AND* at small events at members’ homes!   Our goal is not JUST seeing the best movies of both the past *AND* today, but making time afterward to talk about them and perhaps even becoming Film Friends. There will also occasionally be events related to other areas of the Arts and local culture. ***And each year we have an Oscars Party!*** Although based in Fenton, MO, we will host events throughout the Metropolitan area, on BOTH sides of the Mississippi *AND* Missouri Rivers, including both St. Charles County and Edwardsville, IL! We are looking for an ACTIVE membership, which for us means you'll attend at least ONE event each year. Please submit a recent "selfie" profile photo when you join so we can easily recognize you at our doorsteps and in public places. Profile photos are most effective when they include only one human being and when that human being is not wearing sunglasses =OR= a hat. I hope you'll also consider supporting my wife, Shirley's, plant-based eating group:  [https://www.meetup.com/plant-based-stl/](https://www.meetup.com/plant-based-stl/) **Established Monday, 11/19/2018!**

St. Louis Fifty/Sixty-Something Couples

Maryland Heights, MO

St. Louis Fifty/Sixty-Something Couples
This is a group for couples who are in their fifties sixties and seventies, to meet once or more a month for socializing,making new friends, learning new things with other couples. Activities will include dinners, concerts, wineries, games nights, hiking, and anything that sounds like fun; we're open to new ideas so don't be afraid to suggest them. Our goal is to create opportunities to make friends with other couples in the St. Louis area. At this point in our lives, our friends have moved, divorced (you get the picture), our children are grown or almost grown and we're trying to branch out and meet new people. This group is for couples who are looking to **build friendships only**, ***NOT*** for the purpose of swinging, partner swapping, or extra-marital affairs of any kind. **Rules of this group:** This group has a $20 membership dues used to maintain the website. Dues are payable in cash, check or Venmo to any of the organizers. We asked that all members attend at least two events per 6 month period. Our group is capped at **30 couples** so if you would like to stay in the group, please participate. We know schedules can be hectic, but in order to allow for new members, we need all members to participate. We also request that you offer to host an event within 6 months of joining the group. We know that not everyone can or wants to get the COVID vaccination, and we respect your right to make that decision for yourself. However, you must respect the organizers' decision to require that you are fully vaccinated against COVID before attending any of this group's events. If you have an idea for an event or would like to host an event (we encourage you to), please contact one of the organizers. We would love the help!
