My friends and coworkers have been playing a White Elephant game with movie titles—everyone puts in a movie title, we exchange them with White Elephant rules, then you have to go watch the movie you end up with. You end up with a movie you wouldn’t have otherwise watched, and you have people you can talk about the movie with. Even if you end up with a really bad film, it can be a lot of fun.

I’ve been meaning to turn it into an app to streamline gameplay (we just manage it with spreadsheets), but I’m really dragging my feet on it.

This is a really cool idea, love it. Could be done with lots of other things - books, snack food, restaurant gift certificates!
