Re: I made a website that shows you a random classic movie, and I need some advice for a better layout.

Looks already quite good to me. But since you probably want people to focus on the content ( = video ), why not tone down the background-opacity a bit, except for the header. ( And have the cool tiling background pattern also there (: really should have a header element though ). Have some air between the video and the filtering (on larger screens).

header {
background: url(“../img/pattern.png”);
height: 140px;
}

#bg_grid {
position: fixed;
top: 140px;
left: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .75) url(“../img/pattern.png”);
z-index: 1;
overflow-y: hidden;
}

.tweaking {
float: right;
}
