3 Netflix feel good films to cosy up to and watch this Sunday evening

Which one will you pick?

Our Sundays consist of barely leaving the house, getting all the unfinished jobs around the house out of the way before Monday, and lounging on the sofa for the evening while enjoying multiple cups of tea.

And while that routine might not be exactly the same for everyone, we’d put money on it that most like to end the day with a good film. Yes, it’s the perfect way to relax before tearing into a new work week.

Well, in a bid to make the process even more relaxing, we’ve narrowed down the list of movies we think are worth watching on your last night of freedom.

Here are five to chose from.

 

1. Charlie Bartlett

Plot: Awkward teenager Charlie Bartlett has trouble fitting in at a new high school. He needs some friends fast, and decides that the best way to find them is to appoint himself the resident psychiatrist.

 

2. Calvary

Plot: An honest and good-hearted priest wrestles with a cynical, spiteful community after he receives a death threat from an unknown parishioner.

 

3. Three Amigos

Plot: Three cowboy movie stars from the silent era are fired when one of their movies bombs. In what seems to be a career-saving offer, young Mexican woman Carmen offers them a high-paying gig in her village – asking them to rid her village of bad guy El Guapo.

 

4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Plot: Wealthy Swedish recluse Henrik Vanger needs closure. Forty years ago, his beloved niece disappeared, never to be seen again. He hires stoic journalist Mikael Blomkvist and scrappy, chain-smoking hacker Lisbeth Salander to come to his island, dig deep into chilling family secrets and unmask the killer once and for all.

 

5. The Ex

Plot: When his lawyer wife, Sofia, becomes pregnant, chronic underachiever Tom Reilly must take a job at his father-in-law’s advertising firm. Tom has to adjust to the demands of a very high-powered job, and he finds himself in an increasingly hostile office rivalry with Chip, Sofia’s paraplegic former lover.
