With spring break almost upon us and all classes being moved online, everyone will finally have the free time to enjoy some spring break movies on Netflix.
Usually, during the semester, students are too busy to enjoy all the amazing content on Netflix and some may even choose to forgo their usual homework and buy quality essays online instead so they can keep up with their favorite shows and movies. But with spring break around the corner, we can all enjoy our off time and binge to our heart’s content!
The best part of Netflix is that they are constantly releasing new content and there are some really awesome movies coming in 2021 — especially in March, April, and May.
So, if you’re looking for an affordable getaway this spring break, we have a list of the best spring break movies that will help you feel like you’re on vaca without even having to leave your house.
1. Spring Breakers (2013)
What better way to get into the spring break spirit than watching a movie that’s named after spring break? The experienced actresses that play the lead characters are Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Rachel Korine, and Ashley Benson. Starring as the rapper and drug dealer is James Franco.
2. XOXO (2016)
Anyone who loves EDM definitely shouldn’t miss out on this movie! It’s a Netflix original about a DJ played by Graham Philips, who gets the opportunity to play at a huge rave in America. The movie also stars Hayley Kiyoko and Sarah Hyland. The movie’s soundtrack might even inspire you to throw your own mini dance party!
3. Ibiza: Love Drunk (2018)
Ibiza might not be your typical spring break movie but the vibes will definitely resonate as a great vacation flick. The movie stars Gillian Jacobs, Vanessa Bayer, and Phoebe Robinson. This trio of besties go on a work trip in Barcelona but it soon becomes a lost weekend for them. This is definitely a movie you shouldn’t miss.
4. American Pie (1999)
American Pie is 100% a must-watch movie. It holds the reputation for the most unique high school comedy and has stood the test of time. Judy Berman of TIME wrote this about the teen comedy,
“Everything in the world changes, but at least one thing about the teenage life stays the same. The fact that the American high scholars are a hormone-addled mess.”
5. 47 Meters Down (2017)
This is the perfect movie for anyone who would usually plan a spring break trip to the ocean. The movie is about two sisters, played by Mandy Moore and Claire Holt, who decide to try shark cage diving in Mexico.
