Favourite movies to watch while avoiding virus

Featured Replies

Australia has just restricted travel out of and in to the country, and has banned large gatherings.  Even my local golf club has stated no sharing of carts, and minimum 1.5 metres apart at all times, and no shaking hands. Given I am not allowed within 1.5 meteres of the Pro in shop, I wonder if that means golf is now free - or do I throw the money at him ????

 

Clearly we are all going to be spending more time indoors than usual for a few weeks - so the obvious question is:

 

If you were stuck home for weeks and only had 5 movies to watch and therefore had to watch them 3 or more times each - what would be your top 5 favourite movies ??  

 

Mine are - in no specific order (too hard to choose):

Shawshank Redemption

Godfather (2)

Pulp Fiction

Avatar

Matrix (1)

 

Please note I did say favourite to watch - not the 'best'. 

The 'best' movie is Gone With The Wind - but that is only my opinion.

21 best virus and pandemic movies.....

https://www.glamour.com/gallery/best-virus-movies

 

One of my favourite movies:

Outbreak (1995)

An absolute classic starring Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, and Donald Sutherland, Outbreak centers on a group of contagious-disease experts who work to minimize and eliminate an airborne virus that’s wreaking havoc on a small California town. This one has also seen an increase in rentals in light of coronavirus.

Mate - that movie (Contagion) is exactly how the world is reacting now.  But there is something missing in this massive panic attack - millions dying.  Hope it doesnt come to that - but you never know.

 

And of course - World War Z

well as a big fan of Shawshank and knowing you are not limited... 

 

let me suggest... I think his name is Barry Levinson and he did a series of 3 or 4 movies about life in Baltimore...

 

Tin Men

Diner

 

Can never remember the other title/titles.. but all worth seeing w/the 2 above being funny too...

Not allowed in LOS, can you imagine?

This is a colorized version of the THE LAST MAN ON EARTH. Good watch when in the mood, I Am Legend was sort of a remake of this classic.
