Get Comfy
You didn't go to school because you were sick. You can hear raining outside while you are wrapped in a blanket sitting on your couch watching any of the movies in this list. It doesn't really matter if you were able to catch the movie from the start or 30 minutes after it begun, you are instantly drawn to it by the characters, the tone or the story. That is the definition of comfy.

Planet of the Apes

The End is the Beginning
There’s something strangely alluring about watching the aftermath of the apocalypse. Whether it’s the disquiet or desolation, there’s something inherently interesting about watching the expanses of nothingness and the scattered people within them... Only movies in which some kind of end-of-the-world event has presumably taken place on this list.
