5 Creative Ways to do the Movies

So. We at $30 Date Night are all for unique and fun date ideas, but we also know that a lot of you love the movies… and we don’t want to begrudge you one of your favorite date nights out… but if you are going to do it, do it with flair! Remember, it only takes a small injection of novelty to make it a butterfly-inducing date


Here are five ideas to help make the movies a bit more interesting.

The Outdoor Cinemas – So many cities around the world are breeding Outdoor Cinemas every summer and they show a great variety of new, cult classic and old favourite movies. Pack a picnic, a bottle of bubbly and a rug and snuggle under the stars while you watch.

The Drive-ins – When was the last time you fooled around in the backseat of your car? The Drive-ins are the perfect excuse to do just that! Get your own snacks from the supermarket first and steam up the windows during the previews and the boring bits.

Rooftop Cinemas – Innovative bars and landmarks are making use of their unused rooftop spaces... and what a way to watch a movie, with city lights as far as the eye can see! 

The Classic Theatre – Find a movie theatre that plays the classics and the cult movies – usually you’ll get a double bill for the price of one! Think Stanley Kubrick, It’s a Wonderful Life, Little Shop of Horrors. Find out what your date's favorite childhood movies are and look them up in the program.

Movies for the New Millennium - Take a laptop or portable DVD player outside at night and set up your own little outdoor cinema or drive in movie. Find a remote part of the world where you won't be disturbed and of course, pack a romantic picnic for two to top off the experience.

Do you like the movies as a date idea or do you prefer something a little more creative and different?

    LOVE movies, altho for a first date not a good idea cuz you cut off the talking and getting to know one another, but movies are my favorite! But you better like horror! I am not seeing a cheese comedy.

    I remember my first time at the drive in with my boyfriend. We seriously made out and then he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I love him.
