The perfect way to spend the day.

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a hundred times – Sunday evenings are best when relaxing with a good movie.

Yes, whether it’s a takeaway and beers combo or a face mask and hot chocolate type night, watching something on Netflix is the perfect way to spend the last few hours of your weekend.

However, deciding on what to watch can cause the mother of all arguments, so in a bid to avoid any added drama (pardon the pun) we’ve done some of the hard work for you.

From romance to thrillers, here are five films that are worth considering.

1. Our Souls At Night

Plot: After widowed neighbours, Addie and Louis, begin sleeping in bed together platonically to alleviate their loneliness, a real romance begins to blossom.

 

2. The Circle

3. The Meddler

4. The Last Word

Plot: Harriet, a controlling, unloved business retiree, hires a young journalist to write her obituary – and then enlists her help in reshaping her legacy.

 

5. Mudbound
