While it can be fun to go out to a theater, there is something special about gathering together as a family or a group of friends to watch movies at home. Affordable and stress-free, it also allows you more flexibility to talk, take breaks to grab more popcorn, or look up who that actor is before it starts bugging you. As you plan to host the next movie night, make it a success by gathering the appropriate essentials ahead of time.

Must-Have Checklist for a Successful Movie Night

1. Movies

You and your friends can discuss ahead of time to decide what type of movie you want. You may take cues from the season; for example, in December, you may want a holiday chick flick or a classic Christmas film. Keep your audience in mind as well; if kids will be there then you’ll want something family-friendly, while you might choose a scary movie for a group of adults. You might also consider a marathon of movies based on some theme—such as superhero films or ones starring Harrison Ford.

2. Snacks & Drinkslander popcorn

Every great movie night requires a mix of sweet and savory snacks. Consider getting gourmet popcorn in a variety of flavors—such as kettle, caramel, cheddar, or even white chocolate. Supplement this with chocolate candies, licorice, and more goodies you might find at a movie theater. Pair it with some tasty drinks such as soda, juice, or cocktails for adults.

3. Comfort Items

You should have a comfortable seat for every guest. If you’re lacking in couch space, you can help people stretch out comfortably on the floor. Just round up all the blankets and pillows that you have in your home, and stack them up within reach.
