- Classic Party Nachos with chili, cheese sauce and salsa pairs nicely with a tequila drink, like the Silver Linings Playbook.
- Since they both have Middle Eastern roots, the Smoky Smooth Hummus is a natural to pair with the Middle Eastern-inspired Argo.
- Endive with Honey Goat Cheese and Pecans is a classy appetizer to pair with the Amour Champagne cocktail.
- Roasted Chickpeas are a simple crunchy snack that goes nicely with the Zero Dark Thirty shot.
- Serve Crispy Kale Chips with the Life of Pi. Pretend they're from the "living island" visited in the film.
- Jean Valjean may have once stole a loaf of bread, but as a successful businessmen he could certainly have served these Crostini with Smoked Blue Cheese, Caramelized Onion and Rosemary alongside the Les Misérables martini.
- Buffalo Chicken Sliders may be named for a northern town, but they get their kick from Louisiana hot sauce, which makes them a good fit for the similarly north-south themed Lincoln cocktail.
- Corny Corn Bread spread with pepper jelly would be a perfect accompaniment to the similarly fiery Southern-inspired Django Unchained cocktail.
- Corn Cookies would be perfect alongside the similarly corn-themed Beasts of the Southern Wild dessert cocktail.
