Top Classic Movies Every Home Theater Should Have

We have all experienced that shocking moment where a friend confesses they’ve never seen one of your favorite movies. Instead of teasing them (okay, maybe you can still do that), stock your home theater room with some classics! Impress your guests with your luxurious Seatcraft chairs and give them a movie education with these classic films.

War

Gone with the Wind (1939)
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” -Rhett Butler

Released in 1939, Gone with the Wind swept the movie industry with stunning performances by Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, and Leslie Howard. Set during the American Civil War, this classic film follows Scarlett O’Hara (Leigh), the headstrong daughter of a plantation owner in the South, as she experiences happiness and turmoil with her love interests (Gable and Howard) throughout the many hardships and losses of the war.

The film won eight categories during the 12th Academy Awards, setting a record at the time. Though it received criticism for historical accuracy and the portrayal of African Americans, there is little dispute that the film changed the movie industry.

Casablanca (1942)
“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.” -Rick Blaine

This romantic, period drama stars Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine, an American expatriate who runs a nightclub in Casablanca, Morocco during World War II. Rick’s old flame Isla shows up to his ‘gin joint’ seeking help to flee from the Nazis. Isla knows Rick can help her and her rebel husband escape the country, but not without its difficulties.

Casablanca received widely positive reviews and won three Academy Awards. It has become one of the most widely known films in America and is still enjoyed by movie buffs today.

Horror

Psycho (1960)
“A boy’s best friend is his mother.” -Norman Bates

Horror lovers will not want to miss this timeless Alfred Hitchcock film. Marion Crane is on the run after stealing from her employer when she gets caught in a rainstorm. Exhausted and looking for safe shelter, she checks into the Bates Motel. She meets the friendly but strange owner, Norman Bates, who has an affinity for taxidermy and a complicated relationship with his mother. Cue the slasher music.

Psycho received mixed reviews upon its release in 1960. Many criticized the film for oversexualization and gore, but it was widely loved by movie goers and has become one of the most recognized films in the horror genre.

Carrie (1976)
“They’re all gonna laugh at you!” -Margaret White

Carrie White is a shy, high school student who is sheltered by her extremely religious mother. Carrie hides her telekinetic powers but is nonetheless ridiculed by her classmates. Feeling guilty for their bullying, one of the most popular boys in school takes Carrie to the prom as an apology. Soon, though, Carrie’s other tormentors play a humiliating prank on her. Realizing she is still an outcast, Carrie unleashes her full power as revenge.

This angsty teenage drama quickly turns to a bloody horror film that movie critics instantly loved. It became one of the few horror movies to be nominated for an Academy Award.

The Omen (1976)
“When the Jews return to Zion, and a comet fills the sky, and the holy Roman Empire rises, then you and I must die.” -Father Brennan

After the death of their child, American diplomat, Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck), agrees to adopt an orphan, Damien, from the hospital. As the child grows up, the family beings to experience many violent events they soon attribute to their adopted son. As more and more people begin to die, Robert investigates Damien and makes a startling, demonic discovery.

Comedy

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
“Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.” -French Soldier

In 932 AD, King Arthur travels the kingdom looking for men to join the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur soon encounters many goofy, unqualified men and quickly abandons his search. Instead, he is directed to go on a quest for the Holy Grail. Arthur and his men encounter ridiculous scenarios, mock historical events, engage in laughable fights, and spew some classic lines in one of the most famous slapstick comedies in the industry.

Young Frankenstein (1974)
“It’s pronounced Fronkensteen.” -Dr. Frankenstein

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) learns he has inherited the estate of his infamous grandfather, Victor Frankenstein. Dr. Frankenstein has been quick to dismiss the relation, but he inevitably finds himself repeating his grandfather’s work.

Clint Eastwood takes on the role of San Francisco Police Department Inspector, Harry Callahan, in this crime drama. After a girl is shot and killed by an unknown man, Harry takes on the case to find the mysterious killer. The killer demands money or he will continue to leave bodies across San Francisco.

At the time of its release, the film received a lot of criticism. Many argued it glorified police brutality and feminists protested at the Academy Awards. Decades later, it is now considered one of Clint Eastwood’s best films and still tops charts of the best movies of all time.

Transforming Your Home Theater

Feel like your home theater is falling short of your expectations? It may be time for an upgrade and complete refresh! But does that mean throwing out everything and starting over? Of course not! We have many tips and tricks on what to replace, how often, and with what. Follow this guide and you will enjoy a revitalized theater experience!

Lighting

The first upgrade to evaluate is the lighting. Consider swapping regular bulbs out for LED ones to save energy and money in the long run. Another trick for an upgraded look is installing lights behind crown molding around the room. It’s easier on the eyes and adds to the theater ambiance. Looking for a simple update? Try installing a dimmer. Relatively inexpensive, a dimmer instantly takes your theater to the next level.

 

Screen

If you use a television in your theater, it may be time to raise the bar and install a screen and projector. There are options available for any size and budget. If you upgrade, be sure to get both the screen AND projector. If you try to use a projector with a painted wall, all the imperfections will be obvious and be distracting to you and your guests. If a screen isn’t your cup of tea, consider a LED TV for a better picture. TVs are more inexpensive now than they ever been with such amazing picture and sound so you can’t go wrong. Need more TV suggestions? We have you covered here.

Seating Accessories

There is always an accessory available to refresh your Seatcraft chairs. For the all around experience, look into a SoundShaker vibration kit. It’s easy to install and will impress your guests with an added 4-D experience. If popcorn and snacks are staples in your theater, consider a swivel tray that’s easily added to any Seatcraft chair. If your theater is designed for winding down, a wine caddy is the best way to enjoy a glass and a movie! The sleek, beveled design prevents spills so you can enjoy your wine and relax with your favorite flick.

 

Sound

Sound is the biggest feature that should be checked regularly for upgrades. Most home theater fanatics agree that sound is crucial to your movie viewing experience. Amplifiers should be changed out when the sound comes out distorted, which can be frequently. Speakers don’t need to be upgraded as often, and if you like the sound, why change it? If you do decide to find new speakers, be aware that purchasing a new speaker doesn’t always mean it’s better than what you currently have installed.

If you think your sound is lacking bass, try adding a second subwoofer instead of replacing your current one. However, be careful not to over do it and drown out your other speakers with bass. Make sure to maintain a balance of sound between all of your speakers.

Cables rarely need to be replaced, unless you are hearing a buzzing or humming sound. However, if cables are an eyesore in your room, look into cable sleeves and cable ties. You can even run the cables behind baseboards for a cleaner look.

Theme

If your sound, seating, and screening are already up to your expectations, but you’re still itching to make a few improvements to your home theater, think about introducing a fun theme to your beloved space!

Rock Music:
Bust out your old guitar and hang it from the walls for a rock-and-roll themed home theater. If you’re a painter, scrawl some musical notes or sheet music on the walls. Hang up records across one of the walls for a retro look.

Superhero:
Transform your space into a batcave by using dim lighting, bat symbols, and city building silhouettes. Hang comic books around the room and decorate with other superhero decor! Whether you’re into DC Comics or Marvel, release your inner nerd and have fun with this super theme!

50’s Movie Theater:
An old school popcorn machine can bring a classic vibe to your home theater experience. Stock up on Charleston Chews and Neccos for a retro candy display! Hang up paintings of 50’s cars or set up a model car display to add to the theme.

The Oscars:
If you are a movie fanatic, an Academy Awards theme is a great way to spice up your home theater! You can purchase your own Oscars relatively cheap online and set up display cases around the room. Pick your top, award-winning movies and hang the posters on the walls. This theme is slightly more subtle but is guaranteed to give your room a major upgrade.

Modern:
If you’re going for a modern look, utilize a black, gray, and white color scheme in your space. Dark woods, straight lines, and geometric patterns all create a sleek, new look. A Heavenly Modular Sofa, available in black or white, is the ideal couch upgrade if you want a contemporary style theater room.

Disney:
If your theater room has become the new family room, look into a Disney theme! Go for a classic Disney look with a red, black, and white color scheme and plenty of Mickey Mouse memorabilia. Embrace your favorite animation with a theme all your own: Under the Sea, Toy Story, Princesses, or any number of combinations! Snuggle up on your Cuddle Couch and enjoy the next big Disney flick!

Sports:
Transform you home theater into your own, personal man cave with a sports theme! Stick to your favorite game or make a mix of your favorite pastimes. Attach a basketball hoop to the wall, hang up your replica jerseys, and display footballs around the room. When it’s game time, you’ll definitely want a Seatcraft Sectional to provide enough seating for all the fans in your life.

Whether you need to replace some vital parts or just give your theater a new look, this guide will put you on the right path to upgrade your space. You don’t need a total renovation for a fresh, new look. Follow these tips and tricks and your home theater will transform before your eyes.

Increasing the Value of Your Home: Add a Home Theater Room

A home is often the biggest investment that you will ever make. Increasing the value of your home is important, along with doing renovations that will provide you with the biggest return on investment.  Whether you’re planning to put your house on the market or just want to enhance your home’s features for your own enjoyment, these improvements will provide you with the best added home value for your money.

Kitchen

The kitchen is often one of the most important aspects that house hunters look for when checking out homes. It is the core of the household and any improvement would undoubtedly increase the overall value of your home. Most think of a kitchen remodel as a pricey and daunting task. However, by implementing minor upgrades, you can give your kitchen a cost-efficient face lift. Some upgrades that would give you the most value for your money and time are:

Updated cabinets: Instead of completely restoring your cabinets, opt for simply replacing the cabinet doors for a new, fresh look. You can also add simple touches like roll-out shelving, spice racks and new hardware.

New lighting: New lighting fixtures will give your kitchen a more ambient and cheerful appearance.
Upgraded appliances- The appliances worth investing in are ones that will be used on a regular basis- such as the refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher. We suggest buying appliances in neutral colors and if affordable, stainless steel is always a great option.

New countertops: Choose the right style and color for your home and budget. We recommend granite because of its aesthetic appeal, its durability and versatility. Granite can pair well with and complement almost any interior design. It’s easy to clean and highly stain and heat resistant, making it a practical, worthwhile choice.

Energy Efficient
Decrease your household carbon footprint while shrinking your utility bills and adding value to your home. Creating an energy efficient home means more than just adding solar panels. Here are other ways to save money while saving the environment:

Appliances: Appliances that are labeled with the Energy Star logo are deemed energy efficient by the U.S. EPA. Look for these appliances when shopping for refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers and room air conditioners.

Insulation: The proper insulation in your house has the ability to make a huge difference in your energy consumption. It will also reduce noise, provide better humidity control and decrease the amount of dust and insects in your home.

Home Theater

A high quality home theater has the potential to have a high return cost. A home theater does not require any additional costs for updating or maintaining (unlike a swimming pool addition) so after the initial cost you are done! A home theater adds value to your home because it is attractive to potential buyers. They can picture themselves entertaining in the space, and it makes the home stand out against other properties. There are plenty of designs and ways to personalize your own home theater. Listed below are some of the items you’ll need to get started:

Seats: Comfortable seating is the core of your home theater. The Seatcraft Innovator features a power recline and headrest, LED light up cup holders, a fold down table and many other features to provide the ultimate design and comfort.

Projector: When shopping for a projector consider these aspects: the resolution, brightness, picture contrast and lens shift. There are many options to fit your ideal budget so you can have the full theater experience.

Remote: Don’t waste quality family time searching for several different remotes. Instead, choose a universal remote for a more convenient alternative.

Sound: Amp up your movie-watching experience with our SoundShaker seat vibration kit. Simple to install and easy to use, this device will make you feel every moment of your movie.

Decor: Lastly, add some finishing touches to your home theater by decorating with your favorite movie posters.

Enhance Your Entrance

An entry door replacement is a simple upgrade that has one of the highest percentage return on investment, meaning that it is a cost-efficient investment. Add some curb appeal to your home with these simple upgrade ideas:

Replace the door: A fresh, new door is the best way to give a great first impression to your home.

Spruce up the paint: If your door is still in good shape, try a fresh coat of paint in a new color to brighten up the entrance. Consider using a high-quality paint for a lasting finish.

Add some decor: Something as simple as adding planters or a unique wreath to your entryway will go a long way.

Add lighting: A new fixture will light up your entryway and add a stylish touch. There are many different styles to choose from to match the aesthetic of your home.

These are only a few of the many different projects you can take on to add value to your home. We hope that these ideas will inspire your own home improvement!

Creating the Ultimate Sports Fan-Cave

Love sports but don’t have the time to go out to every game? Look no further than the fan-cave, a room that will place you directly in the front row from the comfort of your own home! Follow these four easy steps to create your ultimate sports fan-cave:

Step 1: Flooring
The first step to designing any themed room is finding the right flooring for you. Are you an NFL fan? Consider some astroturf flooring that will transport you and your guests right onto the field. More of a MLB kind of person? No problem! Incorporate a dugout themed rug into your flooring plans to get a similar feel. For the NHL fans, hockey flooring tiles could be a fun way to give your fan-cave an authentic feel. Just be careful not to slip! Did someone say NBA? Look into some wood flooring to show your team spirit. You could also choose to add a basketball themed carpet for a softer feel.

Finally, if you are the ultimate sports fan and are looking to build a fan-cave that reflects all sports, look into more neutral carpeting and tile solutions. You could even select your favorite team colors to make the room your own!

Step 2: Walls
There are many directions you could go in when it comes to choosing your walls’ color scheme. If your flooring is rather neutral, you might want to go with team colors on the walls! For the football fans, a green wall could even be marked with white lines to mimic a football field. Another option could be to select an iconic sports image and turn it into a wall mural! Or, add life-size wall stickers of your favorite players. This would be a fun way to amp up your game day spirit.

Step 3: Furniture
The right furniture is essential to any fan-cave, especially seating! Find the right seating for your room size and style by determining how many seats you would need and which colors you’d like to use. If you are looking for a classic look with leather, the Seatcraft Vader home theater seating might be right for you. This option is particular popular for it’s wallhugger seating that can be placed directly against most walls. It can also hold tray tables that are perfect for game day snacking. Another great option for seating is the Seatcraft Seville Recliner. Attach a SoundShaker seat vibration kit and bring the game to life! The kit receives a wireless audio signal which tells your seat transducer when to vibrate.

Another important piece in your fan-cave is a screen! Whether you prefer a flat screen TV or projector, this item will be the centerpiece of your room so choose wisely.

Last but not least, spice up your fan-cave with some fun games for everyone. Add a pool or foosball table to keep the good times rolling even through commercial breaks. You could also add basketball hoops or a couple of small goal posts if you’ve got some wide, empty spaces! For hockey fans, add a couple of pairs of rollerblades and street hockey sticks. This way, not only will you be following the sports events, you’ll be participating in your own!

Step 4: Decor
Final step: decorate, decorate, decorate. Personalize your seating with helpful additions such as a wine glass caddy, LED lighting, or even a tablet holder that are perfect for multitasking. Once that’s done, move onto other domains of decor such as jerseys, autographs, old tickets, and other memorabilia. If you have stairs leading to your fan-cave, replace the railings with baseball bats or hockey sticks! Or, frame your television screens with pictures of your past game days and sports experiences. You could even build a sports bar to complete your fan-cave look!

Score the ultimate goal by creating a fan-can your friends and family won’t want to miss out on! Not only will it be fun to build, the memories made in it will be just as priceless as the first time you ate a hot dog at a baseball game (and comfier too!).

Maybe add different wall accents or curtains to enhance the overall look of the room. In the end, you’re only limited to your imagination.

European Street Theme
Many of us have that one special city or country that we’ve always wanted to visit. Now, you can bring all the beauty and culture of the place right into your home by decorating your home theater like a street. Not quite visualizing it? When James Potter put his vision of a European town to life, it became a spectacle everyone must see. With the theater portion resembling a French Pavilion with a rolling sunset overhead and architecturally gorgeous buildings in the background surrounding the theater seating of your choice, this setting is perfect for anyone that enjoys a good foreign film, or just love foreign cultures. Don’t feel trapped by the European theme; branch out and try to go Italian, Japanese, or any other culture you’re passionate about. Just go and have fun with it!

Your home theater already has so much thought and dedication placed into it, so why not add a little more of what makes you, you? Your passions are not limited to the ones listed here, so go out and make the home theater of your dreams! Just take inspiration from designers that brought what they loved to life to show to the world.

Home Theater Designs We Love

Brace yourselves! This month, we’ve decided to change up our favorite home theater design ideas. Instead of showcasing elaborate, out-of-this-world custom home theaters, we are going to show you how to make the most out of LESS.

That’s right. Your home theater doesn’t need to be large and grandeur to be incredible! Some of the most amazing moments are right in the comfort of your own home, regardless of the size. Our home theater design ideas for this month are keeping budget in mind, so you don’t have to break the bank to have a mind-blowing cinema experience.

Urban Comfort

Simple, comfortable, and realistic. Is it the easy access wine cellar or the 10 foot screen projector that makes us crazy about this design? No movie night is complete without uncorking a bottle of fine wine! The highlight of this home theater is the wine cellar, which is enough to grab the attention of any wine lover! This easily attainable design comes complete with overhead light fixtures, sensible storage, and, of course, fashionable mini beverage tables. The neutral color scheme makes this design suitable for a variety of homes.

This home theater is ideal for the whole family, but not too over the top! The red walls and floor, along with the dimmable wall lights completely transform this intimate sized room into a theater.

Maximum Comfort

WARNING: The following design is NOT intended for those who fall asleep during movies! This design might be too comfortable for you and could cause excessive sleepiness.

7 Home Theater Designs We Love

You’re finally ready to get that home theater all set up and the anticipation is continuing to build! The idea of having a fully immersive cinema experience right in the comfort of your home is enough to make anyone quiver with excitement! There’s just one main question that is eating away at you: Where do I even start?!

With the options literally being endless, take into consideration both the technical and financial aspects of building a home theater. What’s most important to you? The seats vibrating during various parts of the movie to make it truly come to life? Or maybe it’s the candy and popcorn bar you’ve been dreaming of for months? Whether or not you have the specifics figured out, it’s best to start with design. Here are a few home theater designs we love:

Mimic Real Life Theater Designs

Play copycat and adapt the big screen to your personal home theater! Invest in track lighting, wall accents, and the perfect projection screen to showcase your next big cinema showing. Looking to kick it up a notch? Seek out movie poster frames and manifest your own walk of stars!

Go Big Or Go Home

Take inspiration from the real movie theater and spring for the bigtime – you won’t regret it! In this home theater, the TV is the main centerpiece that pulls the entire home theater set-up together. The big screen captures your attention, radiating your gaze from the inside out. The muted color palette emphasizes the screen beautifully with bonus points for the pop of color paintings on the back wall!

Take It Outdoors

Think outside the box and bring the great outdoors indoors! Create the perfect staycation spot right inside your home with a stargazing option built into the ceiling. Accent the space with warm colors and cozy pillows to create the ultimate, relaxing ambiance.

Lighting Is Essential

Lighting can make or break your new man cave or home theater! Remember, it’s all about creating an established experience to limit distractions. Keep in mind that suspended or hanging fixtures and lamps could cause uneven lighting or reflections on the screen. If it’s in your budget, go for dimmable and remote-controlled lights. For a bolder look, try adding LED lights to frame the screen and fiber optic lighting strips around the floor or baseboards.

It’s All About the Seating

Building a home theater around the comfort of the seating is a great place to begin. An in-home theater viewing experience is amazingly enhanced with an organized seating scheme. Choose a seating style and design that fits your needs and desires for the space. If you’re going for the traditional cinema theme with stadium seating and dramatic curtains, then plan to search for theater seating that is traditional as well. However, if your home theater is a smaller affair and more of a media room, skip the dramatic experience and consider more traditional seating such a wrap around sofas complemented with 1-2 arm chairs.

Preserve Space, Prioritize Shelving

You don’t need a four-story mansion to incorporate a great movie room! Even a small space can be transformed – all with the help of good shelving and storage! It can be a challenge to navigate cramped quarters, making utilization of every available inch more important than ever. Minimize clutter and avoid furniture that refuses to conform to corners. Ditch the bulky TV and accompanying stand for a mounted TV and counter space that doubles as a shelf to accommodate your gaming systems and extra storage.

Don’t Miss the Game

Complete with a bar, pool table, and football field carpet, this man cave gives every home theater a run for its money.
