As Father’s Day is rapidly approaching, you may be scratching your head about what to plan for the big day ahead! Even if you’ve snagged Dad the perfect gift, you’re still tasked with planning out the perfect Sunday. Now, while taking Dad out for a nice brunch is a great way to fill up the morning, what about the evening? You could opt to going to the movie theater, but at the same time, maybe countless others have thought of the same thing, leading the movie theater to be overcrowded and hectic. Why not plan movie time in the comfort of your own home? Netflix has plenty of offerings that are perfect to watch with Dad and be able to spend some quality time together. Here are some of the best movies and specials to watch with your old man this Father’s Day.
