Movie Night Conversation Starters
Ask the Audience
Well, ask each other and then enjoy the show.
Movie night could go on forever, if you think about the number of movies you could play once your guests suggest all their favorites. In the case that you want to start the night off with some on-brand conversation for movie night—or if you’re having a Hollywood Glam party and just want to fuel the fun—these questions are prompts for you. And the Oscar goes to…
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.
- Best Movie Ever
- Most Well-Played Character
- Best Actor
- Best Actress
- Best Soundtrack
- Best Movie Genre
- Best Line Ever
- Top Movie Series
- All-Time Worst Movie
- Best Opening Scene
- All-Time Worst Ending Scene
- Most Welcoming House
- Best Costumes
- Best Dramatic Scene
- Best Animal Character
- Best Ending Scene
- Most Beautiful Scenery
- Best Villain (to root against)
- How many times (+/-) have you watched your favorite movie?
- What movie series or franchise do you think should never have had more than one movie?
- What movie do you think there should be a sequel to?
With that, your movie night is all set. Roll out the red carpet and watch the drama unfold (though we hope it’s a love story that ends happily ever after).
