Questions people usually have

How were these films chosen?

By tone and runtime against a stormy night and your mood — not by what's newest. Each pick lists why it fits so you can match it to the night you're actually having.

Where can I watch them?

Each title has a link that searches JustWatch, which shows the streaming services carrying it in your region.

What if I'm not settled after ten minutes?

Switch without guilt and try the next one down. The point is a good evening, not finishing what you started.
