Whether you love a bit of Bond, heaps of Harry Potter or mountains of Marvel action, nothing quite captures the imagination better than a night at the movies. But after you’ve stood in a frustratingly long queue, then struggled to find your increasingly expensive seat in the dark, all whilst juggling your overpriced popcorn and bucket-sized drink, the novelty can soon wear off.
The solution? You could have a cheaper and more memorable night in by hosting a movie night at home. You control the start time, the snacks, the themes, the guest list and come armed with a range of movie ideas. Plus, you can chat away throughout the film if you like, pause it for a toilet break, and avoid being disturbed by the sound of rustling packets or lip locking in the back row!
