Specialties

The diversity of our film choices is what sets us apart from the other LA area movie Meetup groups. We are non-discriminate in our taste in film. We see everything from the latest blockbusters, action flicks, screwball comedies, suspense thrillers, romantic comedies and tearjerkers from Hollywood, to arthouse/indie flicks, foreign films, documentaries and classic films as well. A typiclal SCMF Network weekend of events will find an Arthouse movie event on Friday, a blockbuster action sequel on Saturday, and a thought provoking tearjerker on Sunday afternoon. If it's on the big screen, we'll be there.

We simply want to create a standard of excellence amongst the group as well as the entire LA area Meetup community. That standard includes precise and detailed event information, professional level event organization, and above all else, creating an atmosphere in which all members who attend our events will feel relaxed, at ease and, ultimately, have an awesome time at the movies.

History

Established in 2006

SCMF NETWORK is Meetup's #1 film club in Southen California with MORE MEMBERS & MORE GROUP ACTIVITIES than any other film club in the area! SoCal Movie Fanatics is the flagship under SCMF Network. Our group is for folks who's love for movies can easily be described by the definition of the word fanatic shown above. Many of us are indeed characterized by our extreme, unreasoning, and often misunderstood enthusiasm for all things CINEMA.

SCMF was formed in August 2006 and relaunched in its current configuration in Summer 2007. Our group is designed and geared for people who are SERIOUS MOVIE FANS - as well as those who want to become SERIOUS MOVIE FANS. Our goal is to gather together all of the current and aspiring serious movie fans around Los Angeles & the surrounding areas to experience the world of film in a group setting.

Meet the Manager: Chris U.

The SoCal Movie Fanatics Organizers Team is headed by Chris Utley who took over as Group Organizer in April 2007. Chris is a RABID & RAVENOUS lifetime movie fanatic who has long had a desire to run his own film club. With a little hard work - and a lot of FRENZIED OBSESSION - Chris has turned this group into Meetup's #1 film club in the Los Angeles area. He believes that our group's success is not just about the films we see, but, rather, the experience had by each and every person who attends our group events. In his (obsessive-compulsive) mind, the SCMF event experience doesn't start when the theatre lights go down and the trailers begin, but, rather, right at the point of event ideas and creation when the Organizers Team Members specifically selects the right theatre to match the specific film we're seeing to create the perfect atmosphere for the folks attending our events.
