We've all encountered the problem: Guests who haven't yet seen or heard your home theater setup are coming over for a movie night. But which movie to choose? If you know the guests' tastes the choice should be easy. But that isn't always the case. It would help to know which titles might interest them, and perhaps which films they might actively dislike. It's probably best to steer clear of every shade of gray, excessive violence (unless it's cartoonish, as in most superhero movies), politics, and recent Nicholas Cage movies.
War movies and animation can also be dicey with some viewers, though I've included three such selections on my list. The length of the film chosen is also important. If you settle on the new Criterion Blu-ray release of the 1964 Russian film War and Peace be sure to have lots of snacks available. It runs on for 7 hours—all subtitled and only slightly shorter than the entire final season of Game of Thrones!
