7 Stupidly Brilliant Movie Parties

And how to recreate them on a budget...

World economic crisis be damned! Some people still know how to party.

Eschewing frugality for festivity, the people of Rio have decided not to let the montary blues get in the way of a good bash.

With that in mind, we decided to see if it's possible to recreate the fun of some of moviedom's best parties - but on a budget.

The Film: Anchorman (2004)

The Party: Pool party! Ron and friends get an invite to a mate’s place where there’s a seriously heaving ‘70s happening… er… happening.

The Essential Ingredients: A pool. Obviously. There are also throngs of ladies and gents in ‘70s-style swimwear and one coiffed newsman who has an urgent and horrifying news story. Cannonball!

How to Recreate It On A Budget: This one can be created with a paddling pool and a trip to the local charity store/fancy dress rental shop to outfit guests with appropriate attire (they could bring their own to stretch the dosh).

Finally, you’ll need a newsman of high repute. We suggest the BBC’s Huw Edwards.
