So I recommended some films to a friend and someone else saw and found it helpful so I figured why not recommend some hidden gems and movies I just really like?
What better way to kill a couple hours by watching some movies?
We all got too much time on our hands anyways now.
So I will say that all these films will be on the Canadian version of their respected platforms. I don’t know the availability on others. You can always download them or whatever the case maybe.
For additional help, you can use the find function (ctrl+f) to search by genre or rating if you’re looking for something specific or for family or what have you. I might add more as well as time goes on. Who knows?
And if you’re looking for a movie specifically and where to stream it, you can always head on over to Just Watch to hopefully find where you can watch it.
