Gather Your Friends for a Night of Food-Themed Films

Who doesn’t enjoy good eats when they sit down to watch a movie? Pick a flick that places food front and center, and then plan your snacks accordingly. A few of our favorites? A candy smorgasbord for one (or both) of the Willy Wonka films, a tower of Twinkies for “Zombieland” and just about anything for “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!” This snack-filled cinematic experience is even more fun when your friends get in on the action by contributing their favorite treat. You can find all sorts of great recipes on our Pinterest page!
