BEDTIME — Odds are you're already worn down from your kids watching “Frozen” for the 40th time since it came out on DVD last Tuesday.
If you hear "Let it Go" one more time you may lose your mind, black out and wake up in three days somewhere in the Maldives with a bag full of cash and a blackeye.
To help you avoid becoming an international criminal with a headache here are five movies to watch on Netflix after you get the kids in bed.
Something For the Ladies
So this isn't a movie most guys would pick, well maybe they would. Anyway, this is a movie guys can watch when your wife has had a hard day and you want to be a gentleman.
“13 Going on 30” is pretty much a female version of “Big.” It's a romantic comedy that pays homage to the 80's movies we love. It's corny, predictable and cheesy, but somehow it's still enjoyable.
While this probably isn't the go-to flick for most guys, your girl's going to like it and you'll actually end up laughing at some of the jokes.
Take one for the team fellas.
Something Funny
You've probably seen this already, but “Tommy Boy” is a movie you can watch over and over again and still laugh. If you haven't seen it in awhile then you will definitely want to revisit it.
The film stars the late Chris Farley, need we say more? OK we will. It also stars David Spade and the two go cross country selling brake pads.
There, that's enough.
“Tommy Boy” is one of the most quoatable and funny movies ever made and I'm not afraid to say it. This movie's hilarious.
Thriller
Remember the John Grisham days of the 1990’s? Me too.
“The Rainmaker” is one of the better film adaptations of Grisham's novels and it stars Matt Damon and Danny DeVito. Sounds like a winning formula to me.
The movie follows a young lawyer and his cynical partner as they take on a powerful law firm representing a corrupt insurance company.
The film is a twisting thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Something Scary
Don’t let the title scare you away from this movie. It is in a way about the devil but it plays out more like a murder mystery.
It keeps you on the edge of your seat and if you're laying in bed watching it you won’t drift off in the middle.
The film centers on five people stuck in an elevator and one is the devil.
Believe it or not there is actually a good message behind the movie so you can still get a good night's sleep after the credits roll.
Something Fun
Want a movie that is just pretty much awesome from start to finish? We've got you covered.
“The Italian Job” is a movie that seems to have it all. There's comedy, action, suspense, drama, twists and Marky Mark.
The all-star cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Seth Green, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Edward Norton, Mos Def and Donald Sutherland. That right there should be reason enough to check it out.
If you just want an excuse to eat popcorn and smile this is the pick for you. Curtis Linnell is a communications graduate from Brigham Young University and writes for ok.com
