So far, the scariest part of this hurricane is the fact that I am stuck in New Jersey…indefinitely. The winds are gusting and the streets are wet, but luckily my road has yet to flood and there’s still power in my house; part of my town has been evaculated but I’m still here holding down the fort. So, when things eventually go dark and my internet disappears, I’ll need a steady stream of movies to keep me sane while I hide inside my couch cushions. Because, to be honest, in these type of situations I am prone to turn into Melancholia‘s Justine very rapidly, and that is good for no one. Preemptively, I thought it best to cultivate a solid playlist of films that will both keep me entertained and distract me from whatever fear might creep in throughout the next 48 hours. Enjoy.
