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. However, while weather disaster movies might be the first thing that comes to mind, we really don't want to bring the storm inside.
Yes, we're taking a look ahead to the brighter months in the form of five titles that are all about summer.
So, close the curtains, grab a cup of tea and chose which one of these summer titles you're going to spend your snow day watching.

2. Wet Hot American Summer

Jude Law is eager to return as Graham People may not agree with me, but The Holiday is my number one Christmas movie. The festive rom-com never fails to put a smile on my face, so rumours about a potential sequel felt like Christmas had come early. Rumours about a second installment have been circulating […]
