So cinemas are closed and we’re all staying at home (STAY AT HOME!) so I thought this would be a good time to give you a run down of films you can watch from the comfort of your lounge room. This is a selection of films I’ve seen that are currently available on Netflix and SBS On Demand.
There’s lots of benefits to watching movies at home which can broadly be summarised as ‘you don’t encounter other people who do annoying stuff’. (Think chip packet crinkling, talking, using mobile phones etc.)
Here’s my recommendations, including a few at the end which I’ve eloquently categorised as “bad”…
