Tonight I had co-workers over for an Old Style/Old School party where we drank Old Style beer and watched Old School. A fantastic time was had by all.
Anyway, I’ve been asked to do this again, but the only suggestion for future events was “Cocktail Night” where we drink mixed drinks and watch Cocktail.
Somebody suggested a “Friday Friday” where we watch Friday on a Friday and, well, you know… But I’m not really into the leaf.
So any suggestions? We’re looking for something involving a play on words, references from the movie, something to do with one of the actors, etc.-- nothing is really too far fetched.
I hope this OP makes sense; bear in mind I just polished off about a dozen Old Styles. :drunk:
Some friends and I actually had a Pirates of the Caribbean girls night. We made rum punch that turned out to be kind of brownish and scary looking but tasty. (we called it “swill”)
We also put hair wraps in each other’s hair, served caribbean food, wore piratey clothes and said “Arrrrggggh” and “But why is the rum gone” a lot. It was quite fun.
Jackass: The Movie: Miller High Life (Miller was a sponsor) and Corona (The other thing they drink in it) Warning! Drinking and watching Jackass only leads to bad things
FUBAR: (A Canadian movie… but if you get the chance, watch it) The cheapest tall-boys of pilsner you can find. Then join the characters when they shotgun the beer.
Leaving Las Vegas: As much hard alcohol as you can jam down your throat (The lead character is trying to drink himself to death)
MASH: Extremely dry Martinis (Just stare at the bottle of vermouth as you pour your Martini)
Eraserhead: Drink a massive amount of Absinthe beforehand… Maybe someone will actually understand it.
The scene: Employees of Best Buy (including me and my ex) and lovers of bad cinema gathered around a big screen TV, awaiting a night of junk food, beer (soda for us drivers), and bad film.
The purpose: To heckle the worst of the worst of bad films, bought with employee discount from the bargain tables of Best Buy. Think of MST3K but without talking robots or a space station.
It was a hoot! I do miss such an event these days (but NOT my ex or working for Best Buy) and possibly I have plans in the making to instigate a very close approximation of said event with my SO and our friends but you didn’t “hear” it from me… shhh!
Japanese punk-zombie movie Wild Zero . Not so much a theme as a drinking game movie. Google it with Guitar Wolf, Wild Zero and Drinking Game as search terms.
This is a great thing to do and is made even better by adding one simple rule; every time Bond says a pre-agreed catchphrase(s) i.e.: ‘Bond, James Bond’ or ‘007 licence to kill’ etc. you down your martini. The amount of catchphrases you pick is only limited to how pickled you wish to become!
Another good film/drinking game is the ‘Withnail & I’ game (Withnail & I is the best film ever made and has to be seen by all) in which you have to match Withnail drink for drink throughout the film although only total lunatics will copy the lighter fuel drinking scene. Even without the lighter fuel it is a pretty hefty payload and there is even some oppurtunity for pot heads to get in on the action.
The geeks over at TORn claim that if you take a drink every time Frodo falls down (intentionally or unintentionally), you’ll be smashed by the time the first film is halfway through.
I propose serving Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout in an earthenware mug towards this goal.
