After a strenuous weekend of partying, napping and attempting to study, nothing is more deserved than a night dedicated to Netflix. 

No, no -- you are not doing this in an effort to procrastinate, but rather to relax. Scanning the endless assortment of films available takes time, but it’s a commitment that you’re willing to make. Sacrifice is the name of the game.

But not anymore.

Take your mind off the impending stress of Monday by immersing yourself in these classic blasts to the past. Netflix knows how to do the '80s.
