The Blair Witch Project

If scary is more your speed, revisit the horror cult classic from 1999 that follows three teens through the woods in search of the legend of the Blair Witch.

Santa Clarita Diet
A Netflix original that is both gross and cute. Drew Barrymore plays one half of a California realtor couple: A wife and mother who becomes a zombie. Timothy Olyphant plays her husband, who's still alive, and trying to keep up.

Babe
That'll do, pig. A must-watch for any animal lover, "Babe" follows a pig that wants to be a sheepdog. Also, did you know Rex the Male Sheepdog is voiced by Hugo Weaving, of "Lord of the Rings" fame? Considered appropriate for children 5 and older.
