    Yep, every week. The family gathers across the world and I stream a movie every Thursday and we all have a chat channel dedicated to it. We take turns picking the movie, and try to find something unusual and unseen.

    My wife and I established movie nights with our kids when they were 5 and 2. Everyone takes turns picking a movie, and no one is allowed to complain.

    This is how we’ve managed to break the pattern of our kids watching the same movies over and over and over. Since instituting movie night about a year ago, we’ve only seen Frozen once.

    It also gives us the opportunity to expose the kids to our favorite movies.

    The movie we’ve watched the most times is probably Disney’s Robin Hood (3 times). Second most is a tie between Matilda, Babe, and Across the Spider-verse (2 times each). So I’d say it’s going extremely well.

    I have two, one is a bi- monthly movie club with friends where we focus on movies that have a lot to talk about (so generally artsy movies), and another monthly kung-fu movie night where we just hang out and watch people beat each other up for fun.

    Yeah, my wife and I like going through archives to find shows that didn’t age well, then show those scenes to friends for laughs.

    Was watching some 1940s Looney Tunes, and you expect and see racism, which makes it predictable, but every once in a while, they get in a joke or bit that catches everyone by surprise.

    Here’s a scene that took place in the middle of a nice episode about National Parks: https://youtu.be/p0wtlI8qF1Ehttps://youtu.be/p0wtlI8qF1E

    It’s not a set day of the week, but my partner and I have been slowly working our way through every movie Arnold Schwarzenegger has been in (even if it’s just a cameo). We’re up to the 1990s, finally.

    Nearly every Friday night for the last 3 years I’ve done bad movie night with friends in vrchat. This week it’s Slaughter Day (followed immediately with a good movie, Team America)

    Yes. Periodically, we invite friends over for a dinner and a movie. My partner loves sharing her cooking with people and I love sharing our (my) badass home theater setup.

    Yep, we as a family have been doing Friday night movie+homemadepizza since covid days. The kids usually win out on the movie pick, so it’s often something animated or starring Jack Black, but we occasionally make them watch something like Amelie or Office Space, and those adult picks usually go over pretty well. :)

    I used to do a monthly one with two close friends of mine. Let’s just call them Poppy and Sam (not their real names.)

    Unfortunately, Sam pretty much disavowed our group last year. He had a falling-out with Poppy because she raised concerns about how he was spending his inheritance money. Sam had made some friends at his local pub and was buying them pints all the time. Apparently Poppy telling him that he can’t buy friends struck a nerve with him and he very vocally excommunicated us. My reaction to being cut off was one of frustration and bewilderment.

    For some very important context, Sam has physical and mental health struggles, which I won’t go into. He had a particualrly bad month which broke him emotionally and decided there and then that he had no intentions of outliving his cats. That was three years prior to our falling-out.

    Poppy did reach out to me two days ago and she wants to do another film night with me and reconnect like old times. We’re gonna meet up on Friday.
