Best Movies On Netflix To Watch On Quarantine

It seems a bit strange to talk about movies and complain about being bored when self-isolating during a worldwide pandemic, but that’s the reality we live in. Healthcare systems are crumbling under the pressure of thousands of sick people and a new unknown virus and we’re told that the only way to stop this and essentially save the world is to stay at home. This in itself sounds like a plot for a movie. But hey, we can’t keep thinking about this 24/7, we need a distraction. Something to take us out of this situation we’re in and give us a different narrative to follow. So here are the best movies on Netflix to watch on quarantine.

1. The Irishman

We’ve all heard about this Oscar-nominated movie, but 3 and a half hours long and some of us just can’t spend that much time sitting down in the cinema when we could be doing something else. Well, now we definitely have the time, so make some of that microwave popcorn, get comfortable and dive into the gangster drama starring the legendary Al Pacino, Rober De Niro and Joe Pesci.

2. Marriage Story

Marriage story is a heartbreaking movie, but sometimes we need something like this to just get all of our emotions out and have a good cry. It’s a story of a divorce that will touch you like no other love story will and it’ll leave you broken yet reborn at the end of it.

3. Kate & Leopold

Now that we got those oscar nominated movies out of the way it’s time for some feel-good classics. If you’ve not seen Kate Leo before you’re in for a great ride. If you have, you already know that it’s a perfect combination of Hugh jackman in period costume being the perfect gentleman and Meg Ryan being a super lucky lady who gets to deal with this confused but very handsome stranger.

4. The Talented Mr Ripley

Matt Damon and Jude Law in one movie, what else could you possibly want. It’s an old-time classic at this point and the plot of this movie is so far from our reality at this point that it’ll feel like a fantasy movie, and who doesn’t want to watch a fantasy about a spoiled rich playboy enjoying his life in Italy starring Jude Law?
