Netflix is of course a wonderfully great source of entertainment and easy entertainment if you spend a lot of time indoors. You can choose to binge watch your favorite series for the umpteenth time or watch some classic movies that you must see (or just want to see again). That is why we have collected 8 classics on Netflix for you.
2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey takes place in the future. If a separate object is found on the Moon that is not placed there by humans, an exploration ship with astronauts will be sent out to discover where this object comes from, and whether it might be a way for extraterrestrial life to contact humans to search. The astronauts are guided by the AI computer Hal, which must ensure order, regularity and safety on the ship. For 2001: A Space Odyssey you have to be in a very specific mood. This film is for the most part very quiet and consists of slow shots and conversations.

Dirty Dancing
If you’re going on vacation with your mom, dad and sister and need to spend the entire summer in a cliché resort that hosts all kinds of brain-killing activities every day, you’d better go find entertainment yourself. That is exactly what the young Baby does when they arrive at their holiday destination, where a beautiful dance teacher gives dance lessons to the guests every day. In the evenings, the staff dances happily and Baby falls under the spell of the “dirty dancing“. She participates in a dance performance together with the dance teacher, but in order to be able to do this professionally, you must of course practice well. The phrase “nobody puts Baby in the corner” is one of the most famous movie quotes today.

Jurassic Park
An entertainment park full of real living dinosaurs. That sounds like a good plan, right? In Jurassic Park you can admire all dinosaur species in living bodies.

All these ingredients together are a given for a disaster that is about to happen. This Steven Spielberg classic is one of the ‘must see’ list.
