Assuming you have electricity in your home today on your day off, we thought we’d create a list of movies to watch on today’s snow day.

Classics
They were good then and they are even better now. And black and white looks good HD. Take some time to watch a bit of movie history.

• My Fair Lady
• Casablanca
• Gone With the Wind
• Citizen Kane

Action
It’s probably a good idea to feel active because you’re in your pj’s and eating anything you can find. A good action movie can get blood flowing. That counts for cardio, right?

• Top Gun
• Die Hard
• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
• The Dark Knight

Musical
Come on. You know you think you can sing. And no one is listening. No one can judge you. If anyone asked what you watched you can give them a movie from the “action” list.

• The Wizard of Oz
• My Fair Lady
• Grease

Educational
For those smart kids out there (or dumb ones aspiring to become smarter), a good flick about history could fill the gap of no class today.

• Schindler’s List
• Saving Private Ryan
• To Kill a Mockingbird (not educational – but easier than reading)
• Dead Poets Society

Iconic
Movies you should watch just because they are awesome.

• The Shawshank Redemption
• The Godfather
• E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
• Pulp Fiction
• The Matrix
• Star Wars (any of)

Just for Laughs
Cold weather can put you in a slump of a mood. Here are some “pick-me-ups.”

• Tommy Boy
• Elf
• The Naked Gun
• Ghostbusters

Second Look
It was good the first time and it probably gave you the “ah-ha” feeling when you figured it out. Watch these again to catch details.

• The Sixth Sense
• Inception
• Usual Suspects

Staff Picks
We’re not movie experts, but we can give our own “two thumbs up.” So here are our picks.

• The Princess Bride: To avenge your father’s death
• Back To The Future: 1.21 Jigawatts! Great Scott.
• A Few Good Men: You can’t handle the truth.
• The Karate Kid: Wax on, Wax off
• Jurassic Park: Dinosaurs eating people while on the toilet – always cool
• Forest Gump: Life is like a box of chocolates
