Schedule
Family Movie Night every week and stick to it. Who knows? Maybe your
eye-rolling teenagers will even start looking forward to it.


So
many movies--so little time. If you have trouble deciding what to watch,
write your choices on slips of paper and put them in a jar. Pull out one
or two titles, and give yourself plenty of time to rent movies if
necessary.


Are
you doing dinner and a movie? Have a little fun and pull together a menu
around the theme of the film. Keep things simple so you won't have to
face a big cleanup when the lights come on.


Double
features are a good way to see a kid-friendly movie with the children,
and a grownup movie when the little ones go to bed. Plan an intermission
between films so you can get up and stretch your legs.
