Classic Cinema
for Teens
This is not your average movie night!
Flick Cliques brings community together each month in Austin, Texas to experience classic film the way they were meant to be seen—on the big screen and in good company. Through live introductions, curated film notes, and open conversation, we aim to inspire a
lasting love of cinema and a sense of belonging to Austin’s next generation of film lovers. Whether you create your own Flick Cliques club with friends or watch in the comfort of your own home, Flick Clique’s monthly curated films will enrich your family’s love and appreciation for the art of film.

Choose a classic movie from our collection.

Our guides are designed to be read both before and after the movie. Start with the film notes for a great introduction that sets the stage. After watching, use the rest of the guide to deepen your study.
3. Watch the Movie
Experience the film with new insight. Then revisit it—watching twice transforms the experience.
