When I was a kid, we'd have family nights where we'd watch home movies on 8mm film that was projected on to a screen. Today, the DVD projector is the way to go.

The Epson MovieMate 50 is great for those who want to buy a projector. It's easy to use with a built-in DVD player and it has terrific clarity on the screen.

Or you can rent a projector, screen and electrical / speaker cords for the evening. Here is a list of items that I usually rent or use for my movie parties:

DVD projector & player

Movie screen (or you can use a white wall or hanging white sheet)

2 speakers for stereo sound

Speaker receiver with cords that hook up to the DVD projector & player

Speaker cords that are long enough to extend from the screen back to the receiver

Extension cords

Table to set equipment on

Duct tape or mats to secure cords so kids don't trip on them

Research DVD projector rental vendors in your area and ask a lot of questions. If you are not the "technical type" make sure that you set up everything in advance with the help of a tech-savvy friend so there are no mishaps at the party. Or, ask the DVD rental house to draw you a diagram if you are unsure of how to set up the equipment.
