Close the curtains.

With the Beast from the East running wild outside, many have been given the green light to stay at home for the day. Yes, the weather has meant many of us are cooped up at home for the next 24 hours with nothing better to do than look out the window at the mounting snow. Well, if you're looking for a bit of a distraction from Storm Emma, then a good film is always a strong bet.
