American Hero Movie & TV Show Party Ideas
Who doesn’t love a hero; and who wouldn’t enjoy a party based on an American Hero theme, complete with movies that celebrate those idols that perform heroic deeds in the context of legendary adventures.
The ultimate American Hero movie marathon would include:
Batman--directed by Tim Burton, starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger
Batman: The Dark Knight—directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Ekhart, Maggie Gyllenhall
Superman—directed by Richard Donner, starring Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder
Superman Returns—directed by Bryan Singer, starring Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth
Spider-Man—directed by Sam Raimi, starring Tobey Maguire, William Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst
Spider-Man 2—directed by Sam Raimi, starring Tobey Maguire, Alfred Molina, Kirsten Dunst
Iron Man—directed by Jon Favreau, starring Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow
Iron Man 2-- directed by Jon Favreau, starring Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Gwyneth Paltrow
Captain America—directed by Albert Pyun, starring Matt Salinger, Ronnie Cox, Ned Beatty
Elektra—directed by Rob Bowman, starring Jennifer Garner
Supergirl—directed by Jeannot Szwarc, starring Helen Slater, Faye Dunaway, Peter O’Toole
And any host can be a hero in the eyes of party guests by providing some daring, dynamic (or at least, well, really cute) American Hero party supplies. These could include plastic cling ons, poster art and cardboard cutouts that depict popular super heroes such as Superman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc. Kids will feel like they are coming face to face with their heroes; and they can become those heroes themselves, by wearing masks and costumes during the party. Comic books, coloring books, stickers, action figures and school supplies (everything from pencils to lunchboxes to backpacks) depicting these same super heroes can be given out as favors at this party, which should feature bright, kid-friendly colors like red, blue and gold.
