Summer Movie Nights!
I am home in Ohio and am going to hit the ground running after spending a relaxing weekend in Nashville. This week we are starting something which I hope will be very fun and grow to be a friend favorite.
We are beginning a ‘Summer Movie Series’ which we’ll have every week at exactly the same time, outside in our yard. We were throwing around the idea loosely at first, and then we just kept going further and further with elaborate treats to eat, high tech (or low tech) ways to put together the outdoor sound, and of course, what movies we’ll watch and how they’ll be picked.
Since I’ve been out of town for the last five weekends, I haven’t started the planning phase, but I’m jumping in this week. Of course, I’ll keep you on the up and up with the decorations and how I’ll organize the lounging.
The men, however, have been feverishly putting together desired titles and genres. Everything from horror to comedy to chickflicks is involved, but the one commonality is that every movie we’re choosing is somewhat of a cult classic (to our generation, at least). Everything we were throwing out fell under a few categories:
My biggest stipulation is that the movie must be appealing and attention grabbing for both the girls and the guys to avoid one of the groups peeling off one by one and congregating at the bar, turning the night into just a plain old party and the movie falling off the radar.
Although ‘Nostalgia’ is a pretty big category, it’s mostly the male version of chickflicks and some general all around goodness. We didn’t even hit the tip of the iceberg here, but it’s not as easy as it seems!
Take a try! Which movie would you love to see during an outdoor movie night?
p.s. we start this Friday! If you’re local, email me and I can give you details!
