Favorite Movies from the Past Few Years?

DH and I are tapped out of shows to binge watch after the kids go to bed, we want to order some movies from the library and amazon streaming but don't know where to start. Any suggestions?
We've been completely out of the movie loop for 5 years so anything goes, really. It just has to be "good" Chat Icon

Re: Favorite Movies from the Past Few Years?

I recently had surgery so I was in bed for like four days straight and about the same time my boyfriend got in a car accident and broke his foot and hand so we had TONS of time on our hands to lay in bed and watch movies. It was actually really nice! But here is what we had on our "Rolodex" lol...

The Queen

A Lot Like Love

Horrible Bosses 1 & 2

American Sniper

It Could Happen To You (classic)

Sex and the City (the first movie)

What to Expect When You're Expecting

He's Just Not That Into You

The Devil Wears Prada

Silver Linings Playbook


I think I'm remembering everything. Even the stuff that seems girly like SATC my boyfriend got a kick out of and enjoyed. You would never think but he really did so that was good! Chat Icon


ETA -- Julie & Julia!! Almost forgot! Great movie!

You could go through the Best Picture nominees / winners and can't really go wrong there!

Oscar Noms

Also, Pitch Perfect 1 & 2 which didn't get nominated but are hilarious....
