Movies to Watch When You’re Full of Chocolate

Time to make friends with your couch.

The key to Easter viewing is to stay away from any movie that’ll make you feel more full than you already are. So no Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, no Chocolat and definitely no cooking programmes!

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Indian Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) – This is the first of the ‘Indiana Jones’ films and we’d argue the best. It has it all… action, baddies, the girl and a fair amount of suspense as well.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) – The ultimate indy about love, relationships and breakups, where Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet play a couple who through different storylines still choose each other.

The Departed (2006)

The Departed (2006) – This mega all-star cast of Hollywood’s (male) heavy weights produce a film so saturated in tension you’ll need to have a shower afterwards.

Y Tu Mamá También (2002)

Y Tu Mamá También (2002) – A coming-of-age Mexican drama about sex, relationships, life and everything in between. It’s thought provoking in all the right ways.

Ex Machina (2014)

Ex Machina (2014) – This intense science fiction psychological thriller, with Alicia Vikander as a very hot robot, will make you fear for the future...

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

A Clockwork Orange (1971) – Off beat, cryptic and just a bit strange, this all-time Stanley Kubrick classic is still very relevant today.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) – The perfect mix of mind-blowing martial arts, romance, history and aesthetics, this is one of director Ang Lee’s finest films.
