There are some days when all you want to do is go home, put on your comfiest clothes, get your favourite movie-watching spread together, and be alone. It's that treasured time where you have no social obligations and all you have to worry about is getting up to refresh your drink of choice — I'm talking about me time. As someone with a huge family with no sense of personal space, I know that me time is sacred, and I do some of my best movie-watching during it.

It's the perfect way to watch something that either makes you weep like a child, brings out your ugliest laugh, or convinces the musical theatre nerd in you that yes, you could totally have a show on Broadway. It's also the perfect occasion for all your "I-know-this-is-terrible-but-I-seen-it-five-times-and-I'm-going-for-a-sixth" faves, because there's no judgement. Trust me, I have a lot of those.

In honour of that sacred solo movie night, here are 50 films that are perfect for watching by yourself. There are romances, comedies, and tear-jerkers galore, but if you're in a mood for something a little darker, we've got you covered with some horror flicks, too.
