Here's your definitive snow day binge-watching guide




Oh baby, it's cold outside.

If you live in the northeast, you're probably all bundled up at home riding out one of the worst storms in quite awhile. But look on the bright side: A snow day means many, many hours to catch up on your binge watching! And we at Entertain This! have got you covered when it comes to staring at a TV for 10-plus hours in a row. So just in case you're at a loss for what to queue up on your Netflix or Amazon Prime while you sip on hot chocolate, please enjoy these suggestions.

17 Oscar-nominated films




A whopping 17 of the films nominated for an Oscar this year are already available for streaming. You can totally watch Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel and more, and be much more cultured by the time it's done snowing. See the movies and where they're streaming here.

8 great films you might have missed from 2014




So maybe you've seen all the movies nominated for an Oscar already (and if you have we will be really, really impressed). If you're looking for some great movies that maybe just passed you by last year, take a look at these eight titles. You can watch all eight and make that your snow day! See the list here.

Doctor Who (but don't start at the beginning)




With 50-plus years of episodes, starting to watch Doctor Who can be pretty intimidating. Never fear, because we've got the definitive guide on how to watch the show. Starting with an episode from season three may seem weird, but trust us, we know the Doctor. See the rest of our Who viewing guide here.

Friends  




We may or may not be almost done with the ninth season in our own personal binge of the classic sitcom, but if you haven't started yet, now's your chance! And make sure you don't miss these five great episodes.

Gilmore Girls




We actually had to pause our binging of the mother-daughter dramedy in order to fully commit to our Friends binge, and if you had a similar problem, a snow day is the perfect time to fix it! And if you're just starting the show, we recommend these five classic episodes.

Black Mirror




The creepy British sci-fi show might not warm you up on this cold, cold day, but it will definitely give you something to think about. If you haven't caught the Twilight Zone-style anthology series, you need to do so immediately. Here's more of why we love it.

These great titles...before they leave Netflix on Feb. 1




Why not get Batman and Bond to keep you company on this snowy day? And since a bunch of their movies will disappear from Netflix at the end of January, it might be your last chance! See the full list of titles leaving Netflix here.
