Let's get together for dinner & a movie!

I like to watch documentary films. I am sure there are others who are like me in this regard! Therefore, this group is for people who love to see documentary films and discuss/share ideas.

The Cine-Club: 79 Years of Italian Film (1930-2009) allows participants to discover cinematic gems and c …

We have two theaters on Long Island showing Indian movies: Big Cinema's Bombay theater in Flushing, Q …
