Here Are the 4 Feel-Good Movies You Need to Watch on Netflix Before They Leave in August

100 days of quarantine has got many of us feeling tired, bored, restless, and down. For most people, the routine is basically the same every day: wake up at noon, drink coffee, eat a pre-breakfast snack, eat breakfast, scroll through social media, eat a pre-lunch snack, eat lunch, scroll through social media, eat a pre-dinner snack, eat dinner, binge Netflix, go to sleep. By now, you've probably rewatched all of "The Office," "Parks and Recreation," and "Friends." So, now what are you supposed to do with your life? I got you covered. Here are 4 feel-good movies to watch on Netflix before they leave in August to give you the pick-me-up you desperately need.

1. Just Go With It

After finding out his fiance has been cheating on him, plastic surgeon Danny Maccabee (Adam Sandler) pretends to be married so he can enjoy dates with no strings attached. His web of lies works, but when he meets Palmer (Brooklyn Decker)--the girl of his dreams--she resists involvement. Instead of coming clean, Danny enlists the help of his assistant, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston), to pose as his soon-to-be-ex-wife. Instead of solving Danny's problems, the lies create more trouble. This romantic comedy is guaranteed to make you laugh and leave you feeling good.

2. Clueless

Cher (Alicia Silverstone) is a rich and shallow teenager at the top of the Beverly Hills high school totem pole. She proves herself to be a master manipulator when she coaxes two teachers into dating each other in order to raise her grades and make school easier for everyone. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give the hopelessly klutzy new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother (Paul Rudd) was right about how misguided she was and ends up falls for him. This timeless classic is sure to keep you entertained throughout its entirety.

3. Valentine's Day

In a series of interconnected stories, various Los Angeles residents make their way through the highs and lows of love during a single day: a florist is ready to propose to his girlfriend; a babysitter plans to lose her virginity while her grandparents struggle with their marriage; an elementary school-teacher unknowingly falls in love with a married man; a female army captain befriends a fellow-passenger; the local TV station deputies a Sports Reporter to cover 'Valentines Day'; and the owner of an Indian Restaurant has her hands full with a Punjabi wedding ceremony, and a private 'I Hate Valentine's Day' party. This star-studded movie will keep you on the edge of your seat as you eagerly watch to see how all of the chaos gets resolved.

4. Groundhog Day

A cynical TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) finds himself reliving the same day over and over again when he goes on location to the small town of Punxsutawney to film a report about their annual Groundhog Day. His predicament drives him to insanity until he sees a way of turning the situation to his advantage: he uses the opportunity to acquire new skills --piano playing and ice carving among them--and soon becomes the most admired man in Punxsutawney. By the movie's end, he grows to learn the key to life isn't what happens but how you react to it. This oldie but goodie is sure to keep you pressing repeat over and over again.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
