The perfect way to spend the day.

If we've said it once, we've said it a hundred times - Sunday evenings are all about movies and relaxing. It might be takeaway and beers time for a lot of us too, but what better way to spend the last few hours of your weekend than with Netflix as well. However, deciding on what to watch can cause the mother of all arguments, so in a bid to avoid any added drama (pardon the pun) we've done some of the hard work for you. From romance to thrillers, here are five films that are worth considering.
