Lockdown Mental Health: Saturday Movie Night

With everyone in lockdown and unable to spend their Friday and Saturday nights out with friends, the perfect opportunity for a cosy movie night has arisen. Sometimes we all need a little break from the world and what better way to do so then getting lost in your favourite film.

I don’t know about you, but there are certain “go to” films that you could watch over and over again, and they feel like a warm hug every time you watch them.

With everything that’s going on in the world at the moment, those ”go to“ films could be just the thing to put you improve your mood, to restore a piece of normality.

If you need some inspiration, here are a few light-hearted films that we always enjoy watching whenever we need a little pick me up.

1. The Way Way Back

2. Larry Crowne

3. A Knight’s Tale

4. The Pursuit of Happiness

5. Hidden Figures

(And if you’re feeling festive later on in lockdown, Elf)

Why not spruce up your movie night with some creature comforts. A warm blanket, a glass of your favourite drink or a warm mug of tea or hot chocolate. Have the ultimate pamper session in your pyjamas and treat yourself to your favourite snacks.

So curl up on the sofa or in bed and let the magic of film sweep you away, even if it is just for an hour or two.
