... would be entertaining no matter when you sat down to start watching it

... Although the majority of guests will be in the game-room bar, there may be some that prefer to retire to the entertainment room.

... So, what would be a decent, all around movie that may be entertaining (I'm thinking heavy visual effects) no matter when you started watching it?

... and no, p0rn is not an option

What kind of crowd are you talking?

If they are the type - Monty Python's Holy Grail movie is always good.

If they are the type that would be afraid such was too "nerdy" - there are always classics like Caddyshack or Ghostbusters.  Alternatively, an old action movie everyone has seen - like Aliens - might work.

I would agree that a movie may be a "distraction" in a social situation .... unless there are kids around that you would like to "contain" and "entertain".

Maybe a DVD concert may be an option ... I personally like DIDO ... but you and your friends may prefer a more lively band or group.

IMO

edit... I just realized I already passed 11K posts, and had to do a little backtracking to figure out where I wasted it!

In retrospect, I couldn't think of a better thing to say for post 11K.

This is one that men, women, children will always watch and laugh and enjoy.
Not a romance or chick flick but enough that the women don't leave the room, unless that is what some of you want.
