The perfect home movie night
Neither myself or Ash are big when it comes to going out, don’t get me wrong – we love going out for the odd meal, but something like a club, well, it just isn’t really for us. Instead we are homebodies, most often content with each other’s company, a good film and perhaps a take-out or a home cooked pizza.
We try and make sure we snuggle down at least once a week and catch a film, or watch a favourite TV programme, otherwise I can end up carrying on working away on the laptop, well after he has been and come back from work.
People often look at me strangely when I say would sometimes rather wait for a film to come out on blu-ray, (unless I really cannot wait to see it), than see it at the cinema, but I have my reasons; I mean there’s the whole you have to sit from beginning to end without having a toilet break as you can’t press pause issue, then the fact often the seats are so uncomfortable you get really well acquainted with having a numb bottom. That’s without starting on having to watch adverts and the person sitting next to you who really loves crunching those crisps as loudly as possible.
Apart from comfort issues, there is the fact that watching TV at home, can be very much like a cinema, these days TVs offer a much higher quality of picture, than they did only a number of years ago, add that to the fact surround sound is available for your living room and home theatre systems are so easily come by – you may as well make a cinema of your own front room and enjoy the comfort to be able to lounge and pause at your leisure.
What about you, have you made the leap from cinema to home?

We often have movie nights – I like the cinema but I do like being able to slob and to pause for a kettle run now and then!
Movie nights at home are the inspiration behind our gift boxes and we have 10% off first orders at the moment using code FIRSTORDER10.
I like doing both, going to the pictures to see a great film on the bi screen. But it is also nice if you have had a hard day & all you want to do is lounge about in your pjs infront of your tv & watch a film.
Staying in is always more fun! The only thing you need to do to get ready is get your PJs and onesies on
Family movie nights or at home date nights are one of our favorite ways to unwind after a busy week!
while I do enjoy going to out the movie, I see some perks in staying home and watching a movie via DVD or streaming. Sometimes it’s nice to stay in.
My husband and I are like this. We love watching movies at home and have affectionately dubbed every Friday night as “Movie Night”. It’s just better to watch them at home for the reasons you’ve listed and so many more. 😉
I love having movie nights at home. It’s nice to be able to just chill in your pjs and have a good movie night.
