Movie night has become
one of the most popular pastimes of recent generations. With the rise of
popular streaming services such as Netflix, people now have immediate access to
thousands of movies and TV shows at their fingertips. For many families,
binge-watching their favorite movies has become a sort of ritualistic part of
the evening after long days at work, school, etc. It has become a form of
relaxation and acts as a prime opportunity to spend quality time with family
and friends. Due to Netflix's unrivaled popularity, many people may watch so
