There are plenty of good, family films out this summer from 'Mamma Mia!' to 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D' with some cheeky superhero action in-between with 'Hancock'. But if even a trip to the car will drench you, you can always make a go for it inside!

Don't just stick on a DVD: watch a film in style. Write up a poster of the treats in store, cinematic and otherwise. Make snacks such as brownies, popcorn, ice cream or smoothies, darken the room, invite some friends round, use torches to show people to their seats, then let the show begin.
