100 Great Movies to Watch During Coronavirus Quarantine

Coronavirus…..As I sit here thinking of the next line to write in my upcoming movie review script or blogpost, a resounding thought occurs… who really wants to hear about movie reviews in a G.D. pandemic?

I don’t know, but I need to carry on with positive things, as writing reviews are very cathartic and fun for me, and hopefully through my reviews, I can pass along some of that positive energy to others. 

I suppose the happy medium would be to recommend movies that are fun to watch and thoroughly engrossing, as we are forced to sit through this self-quarantine for who knows how long during this time of the Pandemic Peak.

Okay, so, I figure to start off with, here’s a list of 100 excellent movies, some are very old, some are newer, but they all are great films.  You can find them on Netflix or your cable provider.  So sit back, time to “Chillax and Watch”, and just get absorbed in watching a great film—listed alphabetically of course.  Enjoy!
