The Film: Return Of The Jedi (1983)

The Party: With the Death Star destroyed, Darth Vader and the Emperor dead, it’s time for the Rebels to partyyyyy!

The Essential Ingredients: The forest moon of Endor is the location of choice, with singing, dancing, talking teddy bears and a big honkin’ bonfire.

How to Recreate It On A Budget: This takes a little imagination, but it’s not impossible. You’ll need a back garden, preferably with a tree house for that Endor effect.

Next, either build a bonfire or locate a barbecue and roast one of those plastic Darth Vader toys on it. (Beware of fumes). Finally, get the lyrics to the Ewoks’ song here. No re-mastered Special Edition nonsense for us!

The Film: The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

The Party: Figuring that it might be their last chance before the machines open a can of metallic whup-ass on them all, humanity decides to have a big, sweaty, hypnotic rave in their underground haven of Zion.

The Essential Ingredients: Lots of people. Music. Sweat. Some water for dehydration safety.

How to Recreate It On A Budget: Look, this one is more than a bit crap. But if you really want to go for it, we suggest the local cave (maybe you should travel and rent Cheddar Gorge), plus invite everyone you know.

Smear butter on everyone. Dance.  Nominate two people to have awkward sex on a nearby rock ledge. Try not to look embarrassed.
