As a parent, I am all for eating in front of the TV. Eating in front of a movie? Even better.

Why not invite some friends over, show a movie, and serve movie-themed drinks and snacks. Above are hotdog cookies intended to be served while viewing Up and blue drinks for Avatar.

You could even have a movie-themed dinner party.


Allrecipes.com has a site with suggestions of movie-themed menus, from the obvious Ratatouille to the more surprising Juno and Inglorious Basterds. The main page lists some movies but if you click on one you will likely find tips for others.
