Food and Drink
  • Set up a concession-stand buffet loaded with cinematic snacks.
  • Popcorn and toppings, served in paper top hats.
  • Milk Duds and Twizzlers all neatly stacked.
  • An ice chest full of pop and ice-cream bon-bons.
  • Throw in a few things you wish they did serve at the multiplex, like frozen mini burgers to nuke 'n' serve.
  • For dinner, if needed, TV dinners! Let guests order from a menu of Salisbury steak, chicken nuggets or fish sticks. Serve on Swell trays dressed with Swell linens and the good silver
  • Give your favorite beverages theme names! Imported Japanese beer for Lost in Translation. The Master and Commander Sea Breeze. Seabiscuit juleps, served with a chaser. Or Hobbit Juice (try Art Smith's non-alcoholic Vanilla Citrus Punch).
  • Warning: Serving all of these cocktails at once may give your party an NC-17 rating. One or two would suffice.

Fun & Games
  • Serve up some icebreakers—trivia questions!
  • Instead of identifying wine glass charms, tie trivia questions with multiple choice answers on little cards to wine glass stems with black satin ribbon.
  • Write the answers on cocktail napkins in gold metallic pen. Sample question: "What movie did James Bond author Ian Fleming write?" (A: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.)
  • Guests have to mingle to find the answers!
