Stranded at home for days and weeks on end, the inevitable question arises: “What should I watch?” This is a conundrum with the potential for major domestic unrest. In trying to come up with suitably "uplifting" titles for hermits I’m having to face the brutal realisation that everyone likes totally different stuff.

Tell your families or housemates what films you’d like to watch and these are the likely responses: “Too old. Too long. Too boring. Too depressing. Too silly. I’ve seen it already. Your taste sucks…” and so on. You’re left wondering if it’s necessary to revise your tastes or your companions.
