The Addams Family

Who says you can only watch Halloween movies in October? There is always time to watch the Addams Family antics. This is a movie I’ve watched repeatedly since it’s been put on Netflix because it is just a classic. Watching the Addams family as they adjust to finding Fester and how they live their lives in the cooky and spooky way that they do. You can’t help but laugh the whole way through as you wish you could be an Addams too.

Sharkboy and Lavagirl

I’m adding a throwback to this list because who didn’t love this movie as a kid? Am I the only one that made a dream journal after watching this as a kid? Just me? This movie is just one big nostalgia trip from watching Taylor Lautner play his iconic role of Sharkboy or George Lopez as Mr. Electric. It’s going to take you back to a simpler time of staying up to watch TV with your family and a reminder of what it was like to be a child with such big dreams. If you’re looking for a movie to take you back to your childhood you’ll love Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Bad Teacher

This movie is if you’re looking for a good laugh. Bad Teacher follows Elizabeth, played by Cameron Diaz, who is ready to live a life of luxury and marry her sugar daddy till she is dumped. Now taking a job as a substitute teacher she is chasing Scott, played by Justin Timberlake, a fellow teacher who is rich and young. She does have some competition with another teacher named Amy, played by Lucy Punch, so it won’t be easy to win Scott’s heart. Watch to see if she gets the guy or maybe follows another path.
