      The problem with Airplane is that you have to pay attention to appreciate it. That’s a little harder to do with invited guests

      The Police Squad TV show failed because nobody was used to paying attention to TV.

      +1000 for 12 Angry Men. A fantastic drama for a group to watch together.

        Get drunk first. ;-)

        Or make it a movie night about the movie.

        Really, you need to pay attention to any movie if you want to know what’s going on. Except for primer.
