Now all you have to decide is who’s making the tea.

Is there anything nicer than curling up on the couch on a Sunday night with a cup of tea, face mask on and watching a good movie? For us, that’s a pretty great way to end the weekend.

Yes, before heading back into work and facing the gloomy weather that’s due from tomorrow morning onwards, we think we all deserve a few hours to truly relax and chill and what better way than with a good movie.

However, we’ve spent far too many Sunday nights wasting hours flicking through the movie channels and scrolling through our options only to be left with no time to actually enjoy the movie.

The search for the right film can sometimes be more stressful than the thought of heading back to work, so we’ve decided to help you avoid some of that by looking through the options for you. And as always there are some gems on Netflix right now.

Here are five we’d recommend.

1. Joy

Plot: The inspiring true story of a woman whose simple invention might make her a millionaire – if she can survive her dysfunctional family.

2. Rip Tide

Plot: Following an embarrassing viral video, a New York model decides to escape from her suffocating existence by visiting her faraway aunt in Australia.

3. The Danish Girl

Plot: In 1920s Denmark, married artists embark on a journey of unconditional love when the husband announces his intentions to live life as a woman.

4. 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

Plot: Members of an elite security team battle to save the lives of trapped U.S. Consulate personnel under attack by armed terrorists in Benghazi, Libya.

5. Berlin Syndrome

Plot: What starts as a passionate one-night stand quickly turns sinister when Clare learns she’s locked inside Andi’s apartment with no way out.
