All of the "Bring It On" films are can be binge-watched this month on Netflix. For those feeling starry-eyed in the new year, there's "Stardust," "Midnight in Paris" and "Definitely, Maybe."

The romantic Christmas movie "Love Actually" is thrown in there for good measure, but for those in the mood for a good scare, "The Conjuring" and "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" will be perfect.
