Host a Movie Night
Gather your friends and neighbors together, pop some popcorn, fill up on soft drinks, and settle down on the couch for a good old fashioned movie night! In this post, the Lenore Blog is featuring a few movies, snacks, and decorations to help you throw your next movie night. Take a break this weekend and stay in from the cold by watching one of your favorite movies.
Decorations
Recreate the ambiance of a classic theater in your Lenore apartment by stringing twinkle lights up, creating your own “Now Playing” sign, and hanging classic movie posters up on the wall. There are plenty of ways to add a bit of glamour to your living room. Roll out your own red carpet for your guests to arrive on and dress up for your movie night. If you want to do something a little more casual, make your own blanket fort with friends.
Snacks
Make these marshmallow popcorn balls from Chef in Training for your movie night. You’ll love how sweet this movie treat is. We also really like this cinnamon toast popcorn from Two Sisters Crafting. Set up an italian soda bar, set up a candy concessions station, and make sliders for your guests to enjoy before the movie.
Movie Recommendations

Mia (Emma Stone) is a struggling actress who regularly ditches her waitressing job to attend heart-crushing auditions. Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) is a jazz pianist who dreams of opening his own club.
