Best Movie for Drinking Game

Appleguy

Hi All,

So I need to pick a movie for an office event which will involve a drinking game while watching a movie before a night out. There will be free drink for the duration.

Criteria
Needs to be available on DVD
Needs to be around 1hr 30 minutes
Needs to have some sort of plot that you can get a drinking game out of and still be a good/great movie.
Mainly male audience

For example; Reservoir Dogs

Rules: Drink when any character;
Smokes
Swears
Drinks
Kills someone
Says Diamonds
Says a colour

You get the idea. What movie would you pick and what would your game rules be?

Cheers
AG

Use of the words 'fu*k, or 'God' , you drink.

Barry Badrinath

The Big Lebowski

A well-known one is Withnail and I. There is even help with preparation for it.

You have to drink whatever they drink, at the same time as they drink it.

Nobody gets to the end of the movie.

Samaris

The best movie for playing drinking games is hands down The Princess Bride, but given the audience, probably not on this occasion.


Boondock Saints? Take a drink whenever you can place the accent. Whenever the word "****" is used. You may not make it to the going out phase of the plan though.

Yester

Braveheart. Drink every time Mel Gibson says "freedom"

The Room, drink whenever theres a badly dubbed line from Tommy ''oh hi mark'' Wiseau.

Demolition Man - starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes.

One of those 'so bad its good' action films from the 90's. Everytime Stallone swears (and gets fined) you need to take a good swig.

I've played this before and I was bollxed drunk by the end of the film.

Enjoy

It'd probably be fine since you're gonna end up dead anyway.

Drink every time someone dies for someone else's character development. Optional extra drinks if it isn't Death by Origin Story. Drink every time the original canon is broken (be careful which films you play this rule with). Drink every time someone's mask conveniently rips or gets torn off. Drink for every use of TheAdjectivalSuperhero's adjective (eg. Spiderman being referred to as 'amazing'). Drink every time the Love Interest is in danger. Drink every time someone monologues instead of just shooting the other guy. Drink every time someone appears to forget that they have superpowers. Drink every time someone fails to recognise a Secret Identity that they probably should have done. Drink if something stupid then tips them off, like recognising their kiss rather than the sound of their voice. On the flipside, drink every time someone gives away their secret identity in a really stupid way. Drink for every Heroic Vow. Drink for every time a codename is used outside the film's title when it isn't a formal in-universe name (e.g., referring to Emil Blonsky as being 'an abomination'). Drink every time the hero and villain are equally matched. Drink again if this requires some sort of contrived action to make the fight end. Drink every time the hero is late to some sort of event or function because they were crime-fighting. Chug for every Creator Cameo. Or for Stan Lee. Drink every time if the hero or the villain are not as compelling as their comic book counterparts.

Any Ryan Gosling movie where he smirks even though the line/scene didn't require it.

Appleguy

Last contenders - Please help me pick one. Vote 1-5

1. Withnail and I (Cult Movie - People might not like it?)
2. Die Hard (A bit too long at over 2 hours)
3. The Van
4. The Snapper
5. The Commitments

Which would you go for?

Even though I suggested it, I'd stay away from Withnail and I.

Firstly, it's not really flexible - you have to drink what they drink, when they drink it, so you don't get to make up the rules/drinking triggers.

Secondly, everybody who plays will end up utterly sh!tfaced and possibly ruin the night.

MilesMorales1

Fast & Furious - whenever they use the word family.

I doubt we'd be drinking wine and sherry. It will be beer, would you think Withnail and I would be alright if you were drinking beer for the whole movie?

What about the Ace Ventura one?

Drink every time Ace says "alllllrighty then!", someone references the lost dolphin, an animal is trained to do something ridiculous.

Drink 2x when Ace tries to make Courtney Cox laugh, or Ace is scared by something.

Drink 3x when Ace talks to an animal.

1hr 26 mins long, you should be well lubricated by then!

Failing that, Die Hard will do it.
