Budget Projector

My sister is having her sweet sixteen party in a couple of weeks. She plans on having about a dozen friends over and to, "netflix and chill," on the porch by putting up a bedsheet and using a projector. The problem is that we do not own a projector.

 

What is the best projector I can buy for around 60 USD?

(I know that's super cheap for a projector. But I was given a budget.)

Quote my post if you need me to respond.

Last time I checked, you don't need a projector to 'netflix and chill', bedsheets are optional however.

You still have 55 bucks left to spend:

It will have to be fairly dark out or you need a bright monitor.

Sounds like a cool idea. Will purpose.

No in all seriousness, I don't think a bedsheet is going to work as well as she thinks. You want something that isn't translucent? Is that the word? something like a shower curtain would probably work better, the plastic-y one. I'm not making sense anymore am I?

I mean most people that have a shower have one...at least in the U.S., if you don't have a fancy glass door or whatever. I've learned from anime that Japan doesn't believe in curtains. Maybe? Also because a problem with only hanging something is the way fabrics 'dangle' you'd want to have even force applied at the corners and sides to keep it nice and flat so the image looks right.
