While there's nothing quite like watching a movie at the theater, watching a movie at home is often more convenient, more comfortable, and less expensive. You get to watch any movie you like on your own terms. We’ll help you elevate your at-home cinema with plenty of tips and tricks. Who knows—after this, you might never want to hit the theater again!
Pick your movie and download or make sure it’s available ahead of time, so that you’re not stuck in the endless choosing-a-movie phase.
Jump into your coziest clothes and make your space comfy by dimming the lights, piling on blankets, and lighting a candle or two.
Prep some snacks and beverages to eat while you watch. Popcorn is a must, and candy or fruits and veggies make great additions or alternatives.
If you’re in the mood to banter or share the experience with someone else, hit up a friend or three to join you. Otherwise, there’s no problem with a solo viewing—just you, your thoughts, and the movie.
Watching a movie with others can be a blast, but it also means that you might need to compromise on a movie selection.
You don’t wanna be caught wasting time browsing, after all.
If you’re stressed, a comedy could help you relax. If you want some excitement, go for a thriller or a horror flick. If you’re in a group, go for a more popular genre, like adventure or comedy, but maybe avoid more polarizing genres like documentaries or musicals.
Make sure the movie is available, either in your own personal library, on a streaming service, or at a rental outlet. Or, be sure to download it in advance!
If you’re watching with a group, have each person propose a movie, then vote on the one you’d like to watch together.
Of course, your home theater will need a screen to display your movie. Flat screen TVs work best for areas with ambient light, like a living room. But if you have ample room in a darker area of the house—or even outside—and want a more theatrical experience, consider investing in a
set up a big projection screen
Choose a room with little or no ambient light from outside to really immerse yourself. A basement works great, or pull the curtains closed in your living room or bedroom.
To use a projector, pick a room with enough wall space for a 100-inch screen and one that’s large enough to

You don't need a TV or projector to watch a movie! If you’re enjoying a movie alone, you can watch directly from your computer or tablet.
If you want to take your home theater to the next level, consider

If you’re watching solo, a pair of headphones can do wonders.
Room size is a major factor when selecting speakers. Large speakers don’t work well in small, closed-in rooms, while small speakers may sound weak in large, open rooms.
is a good option if you want a significant upgrade in sound quality, aren’t ready to invest in a pricey surround sound speaker system, or want to easily
Consult a professional at your local tech or audio store to determine which speakers would be best for your space and needs.
A good view of the screen is key to enjoying a movie. Make sure the chairs and couches are turned toward the screen for a great view. Aim to sit at least 6–8 ft (1.8–2.4 m) away for the best viewing experience that doesn’t strain your eyes.
It’s usually best to position a sofa in the center, facing the screen directly, with chairs angled toward the screen on either side.
You don’t get the full experience if you’re constantly checking your phone, and you might miss something important in the film. Turn it on silent, just for the couple hours it takes to watch the movie.
Make it a game by having your fellow movie watchers place their phones in a bowl in the center of the room. The first to grab their phone has to refill everyone's drinks and snacks for the rest of the night.
One of the best things about watching a movie at home is added comfort. Put on your comfiest loungewear, and bring extra blankets and pillows for a super cozy feel. Also light a

If you’re enjoying your movie with others, ask them to bring extra blankets and pillows. You can never have too many!
Feel free to spritz your favorite
Finger foods are easy to eat while lounging on the couch, and
is pretty much required. Pretzels, candy, and chips with dip are other movie-friendly options.
Try spicing up regular popcorn. Add seasoning like cayenne pepper or nutritional yeast, or drizzle your popcorn with caramel or chocolate sauce for a sweeter snack.
If you’re looking for a healthier finger food option, try a platter of freshly sliced fruits and vegetables.
Your favorite drink is a must, whether that’s a fizzy soda or a light herbal tea. To avoid untimely spills in the middle of your flick—jumpscare! splash!—transfer it to a
This is especially important if you are watching with spill-prone kids.
- The Amusement Park. Technically it’s one of the best films of 1975, but this surreal satire from George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead) was never released outside of a single film festival screening at the time, and was thought lost for decades until a print resurfaced and was restored and released on the horror streamer Shudder.
- Annette. Maybe it’s a stretch to include French auteur Leos Carax’s (Holy Motors) divisive arthouse musical here; it divided critics when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and is definitely, uh, not for everyone.
- Barb and Star Go to Vista del Mar. Don’t judge this one by the uninspiring trailer, which makes it look like an extended sketch starring one of Kristen Wiig’s most hastily conceived Saturday Night Live characters.
- Belfast. Actor/director/Shakespeare superfan Kenneth Branagh has been earning critical hosannahs for this heartfelt, black-and-white ode to his upbringing in Ireland during the height of the Troubles.
