If you have the time to sit and watch movies for hours on end, I am so jealous. Before the craziness of the semester begins, try and watch a couple of these gems and put off any responsibilities even further.
1. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
If you’re a fan of movies, this has to be in your top to re-watch. There is something haunting about Frodo’s eyes and something endearing about Gollum and his love for “precious”. Just take the 9-hour plunge and watch all three.

2. The Girl on the Train
A new release for rent on iTunes, I was super pumped when I saw this one pop up. I’d been waiting a couple months for the release and it definitely lives up to expectations.
3. Insidious 1 or 2
By far two of my favorite go-to scary movies, Insidious and Insidious 2 always give me the right kind of scare. Don’t even bother with the third film, it’s just not worth it. Not to mention the rumored fourth movie…they should’ve quit while they were ahead.
4. The Notebook
Yes it may be a little cliché, but if you really want a solid cry and don’t want to re-watch Me Before You for the 6th time this year alone, why not bring back the old love for the Notebook. It still gives me chills.
5. Roman Holiday
If you’re like me and you’re studying abroad, specifically in Rome, this is by far a classic must watch. Audrey Hepburn is pure perfection and seeing her near my favorite monuments is heaven on Earth.
6. Harry Potter
By far the greatest collection of movies, if you have the time watch each movie and cry over how wonderful Hogwarts and the Wizard world is.
7. Casablanca
Casablanca is a classic movie that should be re-watched every single month with a devout devotion like no other. Watch it. Now.
