If there’s one thing I love almost as much as my pets, it’s a good movie or TV show.
Whether it’s a cozy night in with a comfort movie, a thrilling mystery that keeps me guessing, or a show I can binge for hours, stories on screen have always been one of my favorite ways to relax and unwind.
So I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite movies and TV shows. These are the ones I find myself rewatching, recommending to friends, or thinking about long after the credits roll.
If you’re looking for something new to watch, maybe you’ll find your next favorite here.
🍿 Favorite Movies
These are the movies I can watch again and again.
🎬 Scream – All of them!
One of my all-time favorites – and series. It’s the perfect mix of suspense, horror, and iconic characters.
🎬 Harry Potter Series
Magical, nostalgic, and endlessly rewatchable. Hogwarts will always feel like home.
🎬 The Hunger Games Series
The games, the suspense, the characters you know and love. I could watch it over and over!
🎬Big Fish
If I need a good cry, this is the movie I go to. I love Ewan McGregor and this movie is the perfect balance of heartfelt and fun.
🎬Twister
I live in tornado alley, so why would I love this movie? Beats me! But I love it so much – Bill Paxton really made this movie great!
📺 Favorite TV Shows
When I find a good show, I love getting completely pulled into the story.
📺 The Office, Parks and Recreation, New Girl, Brooklyn 99, Friends, Community, Abbott Elementary
Yes, I added them all one because they’re similar, but not! All comedy, all comfort, all fun.
📺 Harpers Island
This show is ONE OF the greats. Murder mystery on an island? Sign me up!
📺 Dexter
Michael C. Hall. Need I say more? He’s one of the greats and Dexter Morgan is one of the best TV Characters I’ve seen!
📺 The Traitors
The UK and US versions are both amazing, and I wish they had a season every month. It’s fun, it’s competitive, it’s all reality TV.
📺 Vanderpump Rules
Yes – I love reality TV, and this one is one of the greats. “You can help me if you want” has made it into my vocabulary for life.
🎃 Spooky Season Favorites
If you know me, you know I love a little spooky vibe.
These are some of my favorite movies and shows to watch when I’m in the mood for something eerie, suspenseful, or just a little creepy.
🎃 Scream
It will just be on every list, get used to it.
🎃 Trick R Treat
I love Sam. He’s just a rule enforcer – and that’s something I can get behind.
🎃 All the classics (Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street… etc)
Because…. classic.
🎃 House of Wax
See Paris Die was one of the best movie promotions ever, and it worked, but I love the movie and her – so it works.
🎃 A Nasty Piece of Work
This one works for Halloween AND Christmas, and what more can you ask for?
🎃 Spree
Joe Keery as a Spree driver on a killing spree? Say no more!
🐾 Cozy Movie/TV Nights
Sometimes the best nights are simple ones — curled up on the couch, pets nearby, and a good movie or TV show playing.
Some of my favorite cozy watch picks include:
🍿 Gilmore Girls
It’s cozy, it’s cute, it’s Gilmore Girls.

It’s cozy because it’s one of the funniest TV shows of all time. No questions asked.
