1/10
A Good Year
Nothing like ringing in the New Year with a movie titled "A Good Year". Russell Crowe's character is a must watch. You'll be going through a rollercoaster of emotions with this beautiful movie which is bound to touch your soul with its dreamy scenes and potent messages.
2/10
Home Alone
This laugh riot classic never gets old. Watch it with your family and laugh away as you watch how 8 year-old Kevin is left to fend for himself when burglars threaten his home.
3/10
Legally Blonde
Remember Elle Wood’s Harvard admission video? Or the time when her nasty boyfriend broke up with her? Plan a PJ party with your girlfriends this weekend and watch both the editions of Legally Blonde.
4/10
Bridget Jones Diary
We are still not able to put our finger on what we love most about the movie - Renée Zellweger's style or her diary itself. We will leave you to share your thoughts once you're done with decoding the mystery.
5/10
Howl’s Moving Castle
Will Howl see her for who she really is? That is a question which is always on our minds when we watch this classic. Whoever said that animated movies can't make us shed a tear or two?
6/10
The Devil Wears Prada
We all recall how Miranda Priestly said "Is there some reason that my coffee isn't here? Has she died or something?" with a straight face. If you are missing office life a little too much, this flick might be the answer. After all, we all have a little of Miranda's presence in our lives.
7/10
Love Actually
If you are staying home with a special someone this long weekend, pop some bubbles as you enjoy this rom-com. It's all about nine intertwined stories (perhaps you might even seen a glimpse of your love story) which examine one concept - love.
8/10
The First Wives Club
Nineteen years after The First Wives Club became a cult classic, many still resonate with the theme of the movie. If you are looking for a light hearted yet emotional popcorn flick, we will recommend this one.
9/10
An Education
If you are in the mood for a soul-searching film, we recommend catching "An Education". It is about the romantic relationship between a wide-eyed 16 year-old and an older man. We all have a little character called Jenny in us and will be able to relate when we see how Jenny gets a taste of adult life that she won't soon forget.
10/10
The Babadook
If animations and comedy movies aren't exciting enough for you, a horror thriller like The Babadook might just fit the bill. We will let the movie do the talking for itself.

If you’re looking to stay home and away from the hoards of people on the streets, a movie sesh at home would be perfect.

Thanks to the magic of the holiday, this week’s working schedule is a little shortened, leaving us with an extended long weekend to ring in the New Year, stuff ourselves silly with treats and enjoy plenty of good movies. If you do not have plans this holiday season and wish to get away from bustling crowds, we recommend enjoying a movie at home with a tub full of popcorn.

If you are looking to watch a flick with the whole family, we recommend the holiday classic, Home Alone. It will be a treat for the kids as well as evoke pleasant childhood memories for the adults.

Head over to the gallery above for a variety of cinematic occasions to watch this long weekend from the comfort of your own home.
