To set a perfect movie night, first, choose which genre of movie you would like to watch. Select the genre as per your or your friends’ preference and get started to create a perfect party theme for a movie night.

Horror: Usually one dislikes watching this genre of movie alone but with friends even horror films sometimes turn out to be funny, so you can pick this genre of movie for movie night. Wrong Turn, The Exorcist, and Dawn of The Dead are a few popular horror films of all time!

Romantic: This is the safest genre where neither one will feel terrified or sad. Loved by all this is a pleasant genre where friends will not get bored. We suggest you pick one from Pretty Woman, 50 First Dates, Laws of Attraction, or Titanic to enjoy the best romantic films to date.

Sci-fi: Another wonderful genre to enjoy with friends is sci-fi, where one can have hearty discussions with each other. Planet of Apes, 12 Monkeys, Blade, and Star Wars are a few sci-fi movies you can watch with friends.

Rom-Com: To enjoy light-hearted moments with your friends pick films like When Harry Met Sally, Bridget Jones, Clueless, and Moonstruck to celebrate your togetherness.

Thriller: Enjoy the nail-biting experience together with friends while watching films like Old Boy, The Sixth Sense, Identity, or Speed, and create an interesting ambiance.

Above suggested are all-time hit films of particular genres, but those who want an interesting experience can watch new releases on OTTs to enjoy fantastic group entertainment.

Theme

Once you are ready with what movie you all will watch, why not up the mood by creating a theme? Yes, when every party has a theme why not your movie night with friends?

Pajama party: Simply hang out together in your sleeping suits which will make you feel comfortable and breathable. Also, it is an economical idea as well.

Color Theme: How about all friends arriving wearing different colors and bringing some snacks of the same color? It is recently a hit idea amongst friends and also looks eye-pleasing.

Character Theme: Arrive in style wearing clothes themed around your favorite movie character or fictional character. It sounds interesting as well as innovative!

Open Air Theatre: Chatting with friends in the open air and watching films in your garden could be another great idea. Place some deck chairs or mattresses on the lawn in front of the projector screen and voila you are all set with an open-air movie idea theme.

Barbeque Theme: Set a barbeque in the middle and place the seating arrangement in an arch shape just in front of the screen. Now put on the movie and enjoy delicious and sizzling snacks while watching the film.

Genre Theme: As the name suggests you can create a snack box matching the genre of the theme, like strawberry dipped in chocolate for romantic themes, spooky snacks for horror or thriller themes. The decorations could also go with the genre of film to create the perfect ambiance.

These are a few themes that would elevate the mood of your party!

Seating Arrangement

If you have a home theatre then no worries, but if you don’t have one then chill with friends every place is worth watching a movie! Just pick a spot with maximum space or adjust your television room according to the number of people arriving. You can lay down mattresses for maximum space and lots of cushions for extra coziness!

If you are at a place where the temperature is perfect then create an outdoor movie night maybe using a bonfire or barbeque to accentuate the theme of your movie night. Also, placing a tent outdoors for a movie night can also be an interesting seating arrangement for a group movie night.

Snacks

Now that you have arranged the basics for a movie night, it is time to prepare a snack board. No matter what else you pick, popcorn has to be the first pick! Besides, choose some handy finger foods to avoid hassle. Maybe cheese cubes with crackers, fruits, french fries, or pizza could be some options you can choose from. To create a Pinteresty theme for your movie night with friends, you may set up a stall with snacks as per the party theme or why not prepare snack boxes as per the color theme?

Also you can choose beverages of various kinds to keep your friends hydrated. You may include a mix of soda, alcoholic, and non-alcoholic drinks. Stomach-friendly beverages like alkaline water, smoothies, or juices are also a few additions you can make to your party snacks.

To make a snack platter look interesting you can add colors to it or create fancy boxes for each friend, who can simply grab it and enjoy it while watching films.
