Sometimes you just need to stop what you’re doing and embrace whatever mood strikes by sitting down and watching a movie. There are those days when there’s just that one specific movie that will appease how your current feelings and if you can’t think of which one that is, here are a few other options.

1. When you need a good cry.

Hachi: A Dog’s Tale may be a lesser known film, though it’s a mystery how it slipped under the radar with Richard Gere in the leading role. Finding a movie that lets you have a good cry can be just as cathartic as actually voicing what’s bothering you. This story about the connection between a dog and his owner will do just that even for the most apathetic of people.

2. For those days when you’re feeling nostalgic.

Dazed and Confused is the perfect movie to get you reminiscing about high school and all the rites of passage that come with it. It’s funny enough, but mostly serves as a reminder of the fun you had in the past which sometimes, is just what you need. Plus, it’s an excuse to watch Matthew McConaughey and Ben Affleck before they became the stars they are today.

3. Feeling bored.

It's safe to say most everyone has had those days where their lives seemed overwhelmingly dull and getting lost in the ups and downs of a film for two hours serves as the perfect way to distract oneself from these thoughts. Any one of the Harry Potter films should do the trick. They're the kind of movies that can be watched over and over again and do indeed live up to the books creating a far more interesting story than that of you sitting on your couch on a Friday night.

Amy Schumer's Trainwreck is guaranteed to get you laughing at least once. The storyline is simple to follow and the dialogue is anything but serious. It lets you get caught up in the hysterically awkward yet enviable love life putting off and stressful thoughts if just for a little while.

5. When you're feeling the holiday spirit.

Despite the Christmas carols playing at the mall and the array of lights lining your neighborhood streets come December, the best way to get into the holidays is a classic movie. A Christmas Story, with it's accurate depiction of holidays with family, and the fact that it is something that you can enjoy with your entire family by your side makes it ideal to have you feeling festive.

6. When you're in need of a sing-along.

The feeling of belting out the words without any regard for whether they're right or if you're singing off-key is more satisfying than you might think. Pop in Grease the next time your girlfriends are over and embrace the surely horrible chorus of "singing" you'll create together.

7. Hoping to feel inspired?

Watching someone else succeed can somehow make us want to do the same, so if you feel like you need a little encouragement, Miracle is a safe choice. The struggles of the team ultimately paying off and the added effect of it being a true story make it both entertaining and awe-inspiring.

Hoping this quick list will help the next time you're scrolling desperately through Netflix in search of worthy film.
