Movie night could go on forever, if you think about the number of  movies you could play once your guests suggest all their favorites.

How to play

Use these ‘award titles’ to assign, talk about, and share your movie selections of choice. Extra: Share your Best Line Ever in your best character voice.

Use these as simple conversation prompts, or make it a game and have guests write out their responses before sharing. If any pairs write the same responses, they act out a scene together. That’s the ticket.
