Biscuits, tea, blanket and furry friend.
Late night beach BBQs are so last week. As the weather takes a turn for the cool, it’s all about packing in as many movie nights as possible, and we’ve got the perfect list to keep you entertained. Here are a few of my favourites.
Lord of the Rings
Probably one of the greatest trilogies ever, with a prequel that had Tolkien fans drooling over their popcorn. Pop your favourite Lord of the Rings movie on or better yet; watch the lot over a single weekend - goals.
The Perfect Storm
The Perfect Storm packs a punch if you’re into stormy-sharky-adventury movies. Watch the massive waves crash onto the set’s fishing boat where tonnes of action scenes liven up your living room.
Star Wars
Best movie ever this is - you’d only understand this if you’ve actually watched Star Wars. If you haven’t watch them yet, in release date order or chronological order, they're equally captivating and well worth the time.
Harry Potter
Nothing gives you an autum/winter feel like Harry Pottter. Every one of the movies is memorable, with lovable characters and detailed plots that truly reflect the author's imagination.
The Hunger Games
This may be one of the only instances where I think the movies are better than the books. The Hunger Games evokes a serious yet relatable plot where action, adventure, love and some pretty decent acting grace your screen.
La La Land
Sing along, tap your feet and imagine yourself dancing away as the protagonists fall in love and fill the night with wonder. A modern classic that should have won an Oscar.
Moulin Rouge
The Green Fairy, the Evil Maharashtra, the thrill of the theatre. Moulin Rouge is a showstopper that combines music, dance and the essence of Bohemia.
Aladdin
Nobody can say no to Prince Ali! Discover a whole new world as princess and street rat find love with the help of a monkey, flying carpet and magical genie.
Toy Story
If you want to feel like a kid again, watch Toy Story - a childhood classic that gave our bedside companions a voice. Whether you’re Team Buzz or Team Woody, you know Pixar will not disappoint.
Precious
A serious, all too real movie that focuses on the challenges a young girl has to face while growing up in poverty. Prepare for a few weeps and sniffles here.
