4. The Adventures of Food Boy (2008)

Adventures of Food Boy

I’m convinced only superfans of Lucas Grabeel (of High School Musical fame) know this movie exists. The film is about a boy who discovers that he has the power to make food appear from nowhere, and he grapples with the consequences of his new powers. 

Between Lucas Grabeel, a 4.2 user rating on IMDb, and the tagline, “Not all superheroes fight crime,” The Adventures of Food Boy could be exactly what you need to get you through this semester. 

5. Night of the Living Deb (2015)

Frightfest Presents – Night Of The Living Deb – Official Trailer (2015)

If you think The Walking Dead is missing a killer love story, and Warm Bodies was too allegorical, Night of the Living Deb might be just what you need. 

What some might call a zom-rom-com, the film follows Deb after an embarrassing encounter with a hot guy, which segues casually into a zombie apocalypse, where the Deb and the hot guy must learn not only to survive, but to love.

And, finally, three actually good movies I wholeheartedly recommend:

6. Man Up (2015)

Man Up TRAILER (2015) Simon Pegg, Lake Bell Comedy Movie HD

Starring Simon Pegg and Lake Bell, this movie is set over the course of one day as a woman hijacks a blind date with a 40-year-old named Jack. 

It’s hilarious, life-changing, and oh-so-much fun to watch, which is what every procrastination movie ought to be. 

7. Sing Street (2016)

From the genius who brought you Once comes Sing Street, about Irish teens with big dreams and a band. The music is incredible, the fashion is so 80s, and the story is incredibly inspiring. 

Escape your life by going to 1980s Ireland, and enjoy every second of it. 

8. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

The best part about this one is that it’s almost academic. It’s based on a Shakespeare play (The Taming of the Shrew, in case you want to impress people), so watching it is almost the same as studying for your Shakespeare class.
