Top 7 Movies And Television Shows To Watch On The Plane

For me, plane rides are terrible. And most people would agree. Being stuck on a plane for more than six hours is a tragedy. Because I am one of many people who just can't sleep on planes, I have the luxury of watching hours and hours of movies and television series. So, here are the top 10 best movies and television series when you're stuck on a plane!

1. "Ghostbusters" (2016)

2016 KILLED the movie game, my friends. And I know that this movie received a lot of criticism, but trust me, it's a great movie to watch on a long flight! We see four bada** women catch and fight ghosts, a dancing Chris Hemsworth, and an endless fun time! I definitely recommend watching "Ghostbusters" 2016.

2. "Bridget Jones's Diary" Series

Coming from a female perspective, this movie hits all of the feels. "Bridget Jones's Diary" is a modern twist on the classic story of "Pride and Prejudice." "Bridget Jones's Baby" is the third and last installment, and it's everything we could hope for!

3. "Man Up"

I feel like comedy is always a cure for boredom. This rom-com is a new outlook on love, and targets the deepest fears of singletons. If you like Simon Pegg, then this movie is for you! "Man Up" is extremely funny, and oddly relatable.

4. "The Fundamentals of Caring"

This is definitely a darker movie. But it's still filled with witty sarcasm and never ending surprises! We see the growth of an unlikely friendship, and the development of two deeply broken characters. I didn't know how much I'd enjoy this movie, but it's definitely on my list of favorite movies.

5. "Jessica Jones"

This television series is my all time favorite. It's a very dark, violent and gruesome series, but every episode is extremely captivating. Here we see a broken non-superhero, Jessica Jones, who's past begins to catch up with her. If you're a David Tennant fan, he definitely fits the role as the villain!

6. "Luke Cage (Unbreakable)"

Let me just say that Marvel is killing the television series game! "Jessica Jones" and "Luke Cage" are my two favorite television series in the Marvel universe. "Luke Cage" exposes the gang culture in an African American community. And we see an unbreakable man actually break.

7. "The Magicians"

If you're a lover of magic, then this television series is for you! "The Magicians" is a modern look on the world of magic. Here we see a 21st century college of magic, and follow the story of four students who change history forever. This series makes you believe that magic could possibly exist, and that we can all become magicians!

I definitely recommend watching any or all of these movies and television series if you ever have to fly for over three hours! Most of these picks are on Netflix, which is really handy. I know I don't enjoy flying, and many of you out there probably share the feeling. But with these shows and movies, flying will be a breeze!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. 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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
