Binge-watching franchises is also a great way to spend time with friends and family, according to The Huffington Post.
A James Bond marathon might be a good choice, looking through the likes of "Live and Let Die," "Never Say Never Again" or "Skyfall."
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is perfect for those interested in sword fighting, pirate lingo and a good dose of Captain Jack Sparrow. "Kill Bill" series Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 might be a bit on the brutal side, but the action scenes may still be something that the family might enjoy.
