Welcome to winter break-- the land of sleeping until 2 PM, losing all motivation to be physically active and feeling complete lack of personal space. I love my family to death but as I'm away at college I always seem to forget how much we can all bicker. However, without fail, my family can always bond over movies.

Here are the 8 best movies to watch with your family this winter break:

1. Bridesmaids

While rated R, and opening with quite a racey scene, this movie is HI-LAR-I-OUS. OMG who doesn't love Kristen Wiig and weddings? A perfect movie to watch with your mom, especially.

2. Paranormal Activity

There's nothing like a terrifying demon to really put your family in the Christmas spirit. This horror film is scary as hell and great to bond and scream with your fam. You'll make some great memories that night when you're all too scared to go to sleep.

3. Die Hard

"Just a great Christmas movie in general. Definitely a father-son movie." - my wise younger brother

4. Interstellar

"Great in a sci-fi visual effects view, a storyline view, and a dramatic experience view."

5. Neighbors

Why not show your parents how college has been for you so far? Plus Zac Efron is in it and you can point him out to your mom as a good reference to use when looking for your future hubby. #deltapsi

6. Marley and Me

If you need a good laugh and a good cry this is perf. Grab your mom and the tissues and a big old box of chocolates and you are set.

7. Gone Girl

If you're parents are annoying you and you need to shut them up with a confusing psychological thriller, Gone Girl is the one for you. It's a great plot but just be prepared for a lot of "wait, what just happened to the girl? Is she gone?"

8. Forrest Gump

One we have all seen multiple times yet still love immensely. Made for the whole family and enjoyed by all.
