As the snow falls and builds into several inches or feet, depending on where you live, schools close, offices shut down and for one day (maybe more) we are able to slow down and relax a little (cue angelic choir). Throw on your cutest and comfiest pj’s, your fuzzy slippers, grab some hot chocolate and a blanket and sit yourself down in front of the TV with these movie series suggestions. You may be there for a while, so why not join your favorite characters for an entire day as they cast spells, journey to Mordor, or travel back in time (spoilers right there).
Harry Potter
Let’s face it everyone loves Harry Potter. Even the haters, though they will never admit it. With eight films of spell casting, broom flying, Muggle loving, Umbridge hating adventure, this series will keep you glued to the screen from early morning to the following morning (because that’s how long it takes to watch them all, I’ve been there).
The Lord of the Rings
Join our beloved Hobbits Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin as they journey through Middle Earth to toss the ring into Mordor. Not only is this a classic, it has something for everyone, like really hot elves (thank you Orlando Bloom and Liv Tyler) and epic battles. Be sure to keep your eye out… well for that big eye, because it ma be watching you!
The Hobbit
If you really want to get crazy, because you’re literally a hard core Tolkien worshiper (we won’t judge) then add the Hobbit trilogy to your Lord of the Rings binge. Why not add some hot dwarves and a dragon voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch to your day, it’s not like anything could go wrong with that.
Back to the Future
Once you hit 88 miles per hour, you’re going to see some serious awesomeness! This 80s classic brings you back in time to 1955 Hill Valley, then to 2015 (were there are flying cars and hover boards, which we sadly don’t have) and then back to 1885 to the old west. Join Marty and the Doc for an epic adventure through time and space and be sure to avoid a major paradox, those aren’t good.
Toy Story
If you have young kids, sit them down in front of this awesome Disney Pixar series that teaches us that sticking together and staying loyal t the ones we love is all we need in life. Woody, Buzz and the gang are not only a great influence, but hilarious to watch. They make you think twice about throwing out your old toys…
Star Wars
Last but by no means least, because it’s Star Wars, this epic space adventure has it all. From droids, to death stars, jumping up on your couch with a toilet plunger and pretending it’s a light saber is perfectly normal. If you are one of the few fans that acknowledge the three prequels as actual films, feel free to toss those in as well, but if you are a true hard core fan and don’t acknowledge those films, our upmost apologies.
