Need costume ideas for an tv/movie themed party!

[mamatoablessing]

DH and I were invited to a party on Saturday night.  It's a costume party and the theme is tv/movies.  The couple we are going with are dressing up as Laverne and Shirley.  DH and I need some ideas for easy costumes that would be funny and relevant for the party.  We're pretty unimaginitive so I'm hoping you creative folks might have some good ideas!

Thanks!

P.S.  I almost named this thread "Need costume ideas for an adult tv/movie themed party!" but I was afraid people would think the party had something to do with porn.  LOL.

If I had to go to a costume party I would dress up as Lindsey Weir from Freaks and Geeks or Angela Chase from My So Called Life. But, there isn't mcuh to either costumes. That would be part of the appeal for me plus getting to relive my teenage angst, oh what a dream!

What shows/movies have you and dh enjoyed watching together?

Since the party is at the end of the week, I'd be inclined to go for something simple like Jack and Liz from 30 Rock.

I tried to talk dh into going as Princess Buttercup and Westley from the Princess Bride for Halloween. He didn't go for it, but I thought it would be really fun. I was also excited about an excuse to make a beautiful long red dress.

I'd want to be Jack & Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, Christian & Satine (Moulin Rouge)... or Ricky & Lucy from I Love Lucy (that would suit us very well actually lol)... also Fox Mulder & Dana Scully (x files), Han Solo & Princess Leia (star wars), Rhett Butler & Scarlett Ohara (gone w/the wind), Baby & Johnny (dirty dancing), Rose & Jack (titanic), Edward & Vivian (pretty woman), Sandy & Danny (grease), Joel & Clementine (eternal sunshine of the spotless mind)...

phew, I could go on forever!  love me some romance films. =)

For a Halloween party DH was Dr Dooenschmirtz from Phines and Ferb. 

Luke from Gilmore Girls would be an easy costume for a guy, plaid flannel shirt and backwards baseball cap.

You could go in sweats and be contestants on the biggest loser (not trying to say you're fat! You could be the winners. LOL)

It's a little outdated, but this thread made me think of when I was pgs with my first is when the whole Britney Spears & K-Fed thing was going on...

I dressed for halloween in a school girl uniform with pigtails & my big fat beautiful belly hanging out everywhere under my knotted shirt and DH wore some warmup pants, wifebeater, backwards hat, and doo rag.  I kept dropping my "baby" doll and he practiced his (not so good) breakdance moves! 

Oh, gods, it was perfectly hilarious!

Ahem, anyway - if your local news people are anything like mine, you have tons of perfect fodder for wierd costume ideas.  Or just go with some silk jammies & a bunny costume.  You could really spice it up and have your DH be the bunny.

I would do Sookie and Eric or maybe Sookie and Bill, from True Blood, but I love the Southern Vampire series. My uncle and his wife did Roger Rabbit and Jessica one year, that was pretty neat.

What about Dexter and Deb?  I guess there isn't a lot to their actual uniform, but given the nature of the show, you could have some fun with it!
