Top 6 Rainy Day Movie Picks You Can Stream Right Now

The Princess Bride has an amazing way of being a fresh and fun movie, despite being more than 30 years old. Described as a “romantic comedy fantasy adventure”, the movie tells the story of Buttercup (Robin Wright) and her farmhand Westley (Cary Elwes) and their blossoming love.

Realizing that a farmhand’s salary will not secure their future and provide them financial stability to marry, Westley ventures off to sail the seas in hopes of discovering treasure and fortune. During his quest, he encounters all sorts of shady characters, including a zealous and defiant swordsman hellbent on revenge named Inigo Montoya (masterfully perfected by Mandy Patinkin) and the larger than life Fezzik (played by the late great Andre the Giant).

Unfortunately, due to his lengthy absence, Buttercup presumes he is dead and is roped into marrying the obtuse and pompous Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon). Both Buttercup and Westley face and fight against evils within the kingdom in order to be together and the journeys each go through are full of action, adventure, one liners and laughs.

Another “retro” movie on the list, The Sandlot is a coming of age, heart-warming nostalgic trip back to summertime in the 1960s.

Scotty Smalls is the new kid in town and ends up making friends with a group of local neighborhood kids who spend every summer day at the ball fields perfecting their craft. Eager to impress them, Scotty stealthily swipes a Babe Ruth autographed ball from his stepfather’s collection to replace the one the boys lost over a fence during gameplay.

Shortly thereafter, that prized ball also lands over the fence, into the abyss of baseballs protected by the feared and legendary “Beast”- a St Bernard of mythic proportions.

The boys come up with a slew of outrageously entertaining and barely effective plans to try and recover the ball and return it to its stand before it is discovered missing.

The Sandlot is a wistful trip into yesteryear and relishes in the simplicity of grabbing your mitt and bat and playing ball with friends. The Sandlot is sure to have your family exclaiming “You’re killing me, Smalls!” for years to come.

Not as much as a remake as an overall and updated reimagining, Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle takes a step up from its predecessor and delivers a wholly entertaining action packed family film.

When a group of detention bound high school students stumble upon an archaic video game system and decide to play it, they are unknowingly and unwillingly sucked into the game itself and into the world of Jumanji. Each of them transforms from their teen selves into the game’s characters and take on entirely new personas with abilities and weaknesses.

The group must partner together and conquer villains, traps and riddles to escape the jungle and get back to their regular lives back home. Jumanji is packed with star power, as The Rock, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black join Guardian of the Galaxy’s Karen Gillan to form a formidable and often comical foursome.

There is some mild violence, crude humor, and language, but Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle is a great step forward for the franchise and provides a fun and gripping premise for the whole family to enjoy.
