Classics:
Good Will Hunting, Clueless, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, or Mean Girls
Whether you’re just hanging out or looking for something to play in the background of other shenanigans, classics are a common go-to film option because you never get sick of them. The best cinematic experience with these movies is when you can quote the dialogue exactly from line to line. Come on, everyone, say it with me! UGH, AS IF!
Musicals:
Grease, A Star Is Born, or La La Land
For those silly times when you want to scream and shout at the top of your lungs or hum along to the tune that sticks in your head, musicals are a good option to get you moving in your chair. You might even end up choreographing a dance to accompany the cast in your own living room, or is that just us?
A Series:
Harry Potter or Mamma Mia!
Imagine the whole world stopping its normal cycle to prevent the spread of this strange new virus and we’re all stuck at home with nothing to do….oh wait..that’s reality! If you really have no plans for the next few days, then try for a series of multiple movies you can watch back to back. Immerse yourself in a whole other world!
Historical/Educational:
Green Book, BlacKkKlansman, or The Imitation Game
This is where you actually have to pay attention. If you’re a talker during movies, maybe skip these ones because you might miss the whole lesson of the film. Put yourself in another time and experience a new perspective with these thought provoking flicks.
Wholesome Entertainment:
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse or Instant Family
If you’re with a variety of ages, these are the people-pleasers that are appropriate for everyone. Have an ending that will leave you feeling good and happy.
Miscellaneous
1917, True Grit, Us, or Baby Driver
If none of those genres fit your fancy, consider one of these other favorites that have great soundtracks, unique filming styles, and fun casts. For horror options, check out our other movie list blogpost.
Finally, if you still can’t decide on a film, pick with your eyes closed to leave it up to fate, or just go back to many hours scrolling through Tik Tok if you’d rather. When you do decide on a movie, make sure to have all your snacks stashed and ready beforehand, and maybe build a fort to house your viewing party? The options are endless!
