I don't watch too many movies. Actually I don't really watch
movies at all but many, many of my good friends are dedicated film aficionados
(one of them has even watched Bodyguard thrice). It's not like I have anything
against cinema but I grew up with parents who were just much more interested in
books. I guess I never got the chance to acquaint myself with films and as I
get older I have less and less time to try.

and I realized one of us hadn't watched Delhi Belly (a movie I thought was
hilarious) so we organized a special screening. So much for catching up on the classics. Ha!
A movie
night is a great way to get friends together and chill out without the

Take your
shoes off, put your feet up and use the menu below as inspiration for your own
movie night. You can make it as elaborate or low rent as you like but just

snacks probably work best.
Since this
movie night didn't happen at my house, I was packing the food into a little box

packs, a bottle of cola, something sweet (that won't spoil), a movie CD
and a pair of pajamas together and gift it to someone as a pre-prepared movie
night.
I love the little menu format I found (see below), just google movie night images and there are lots of cute options available. Since the focus is on no fuss food, the menu is:
