11 Movies to Watch on Netflix If You Hate the Holidays (Photos)
Here are a few of our favorite non-holiday films on Netflix to help you forget about this horrible season.
You either love the holidays or you hate them–there’s no in between–and if you’ve found yourself here then we already know what camp you belong to.
“Black Hawk Down”
Any war movie will make you forget about the holidays and be thankful for simply being alive–and this war movie is actually good.
“Armaggedon”
What better way to avoid the holidays than if Earth as we know it was about to end? For a two and a half hours, you can experience the same fantasy.
“The 13th”
You know who won’t be spending the holidays with their loved ones? Incarcerated people. Ava DuVernay’s look at the racial inequality in the United States’ prison system will make you forget all about the joyful holidays.
“The Amityville Horror”
A husband becomes possessed and goes on a murderous rampage trying to kill his family? That’s one way to make you feel better about not visiting your family this holiday season.
“Mean Girls”
What better way to forget about the holidays than to recall every mean and traumatizing thing that happened to you during high school?
“Stephen King’s Children of the Corn”
We know you hate the holidays because you secretly hate being around all those rowdy kids. It’s OK though because “Children of the Corn” gives you good reason to fear kids.
“Rosewater”
A film about a real journalist who was really tortured and interrogated for 118 days will most certainly take you down a dark path far, far away from any memories of holiday joy and cheer.
“Spotlight”
We promise that this biographical film about a team of investigative journalists uncovering a sexual abuse scandal within the Catholic Church will not leave you feeling warm and bubbly inside.
“Jaws”
Here’s one movie that won’t leave you feeling eager to cuddle up with a loved one or missing your family.
On the contrary, it’ll probably leave you scarred for life and fearful of ever stepping foot on a beach again.
