Here are 11 movies on Netflix that are perfect for this manky Monday evening

Look outside. It's probably raining. Settle in with some Starmix, some Maltesers, a cup of tea (or a few beers) and spend the night on Netflix. It's what feels right, damn it!

You've probably forgotten that a lot of these movies are still on Netflix, and they're perfect for a manky Monday (or Tuesday, or Wednesday...) evening. This is the bit where you put your phone on silent and you let us do the scrolling, so you don't have to. What have we got?

A Bronx Tale

In a sentence? Robert De Niro plays a bus driver whose son gets mixed up with the local mob. It's an under-appreciated classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z50PjmZYS4A

The Shawshank Redemption

In a sentence? You've already seen it 237 times, you know what it's about, it's perfect from start to finish and it's back on Netflix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hB3S9bIaco

Into The Wild

In a sentence? Emile Hirsch plays a young man who gives up material things and disappears, ehm, into the wild, accompanied by an incredible Eddie Vedder soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LAuzT_x8Ek

Limitless

In a sentence? Bradley Cooper swallows a pill that unlocks all of his untapped potential. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TLppsfzQH8

Groundhog Day

In a sentence? Bill Murray is living the same day over and over and over again, and that's absolutely fine with us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSVeDx9fk60

Captain Phillips

In a sentence? Tom Hanks fights pirates, but this is very much set in the real world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEyM01dAxp8

Looper

In a sentence? Bruce Willis' last good movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iQuhsmtfHw

Airplane!

In a sentence? "By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMnVs287AJ4

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

In a sentence? Wish fulfillment for anyone between the ages of 12 and 18, played by actors a hell of a lot older than that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-X2XzKqBiE

The 40-Year-Old Virgin

In a sentence? Still Judd Apatow's finest moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7a_9CggQuE

The Big Short

In a sentence? Steve Carell in a very different kind of role, alongside Brad Pitt, Christian Bale and Ryan Gosling - not a bad cast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgqG3ITMv1Q
