Quarantine Approved Movie List

Day 33 of quarantine…. okay I may not be as introverted as I once thought! The day we heard about the “shelter in place” order I bought some puzzles and we made a movie list. I guess Alex was too busy with sports as a kid to watch movies, but he had not seen a ton of classics like Forrest Gump, Sound of Music, Saving Private Ryan and Jaws. We made a list of movies he had never seen and have been using a random number generator to cross them off our list. Since I apparently had more time to watch movies as a kid, I decided to share my quarantine approved movie list! I listed these movies in order of year released and highly recommend giving these older movies a fair try before crossing them off for being “old”. All of the movies on this list I would consider classics that I would recommend to anyone. I purposely left off romanic comedies, even though I am a sucker for You’ve Got Mail. If you have a hard time finding some of these on Netflix, Vudu has most for free with ads and Reelgood is a great source to find where to stream. Let me know what you think of the movies and what you have on your quarantine approved movie list! xoxo
