Some stories never lose their charm, no matter how many years go by. There is something about throwback shows and movies — the familiar dialogues, the unforgettable characters and the comforting settings. It all feels like a warm hug.
Keep your glass of wine ready and get set to go back in time with our edit of timeless picks on Netflix.
THE BIG BANG THEORY
A sitcom that gave us nerd humor at its finest with its quirky characters and lots of laugh-out-loud moments. Sheldon’s famous “Penny… Penny… Penny” door knocks and the group’s hilarious adventures are just as fun to watch now, making it the perfect comfort show even today.
THE GODFATHER
Even if you’ve watched it before, The Godfather never gets old. It’s intense, dramatic, and honestly, still one of the best. With powerful scenes, unforgettable characters, and iconic lines like “I’m gonna make him the offer he can’t refuse”, this one’s more than just a movie — it’s an experience. Perfect for when you’re in the mood for something intense and timeless.
JERRY MAGUIRE
A movie about chasing dreams, finding love, and learning to slow down. It's the kind of movie that makes you laugh, root for the underdog, and maybe even cry a little.
THE OFFICE
A show that needs no introduction. The office’s mockumentary style, hilarious awkwardness, and heartwarming movements make it kind of series you can return to anytime you need a good laugh (or a little cry at Jim and Pam’s love story).
SUITS
It’s a show that taught us how to “win” at life with style and a little bit of rule-breaking. Between Harvey’s legendary one-liners and Donna’s ability to read everyone’s mind, Suits was all about confidence, charm, and outsmarting the competition. Who doesn’t want to work at Pearson Hardman?
BRIDE AND PREJUDICE
If you’ve ever wanted to see Pride and Prejudice with vibrant dance numbers and a lot more sass, this is your movie. The characters are full of life, the family dynamics are hilarious, and the romance between Lalita Bakshi and William Darcy has the perfect “will-they-won’t-they” tension that we all love. Plus, the music? Catchy enough to get stuck in your head for days — especially “Punjabi Wedding Song,” which is still played at nearly every Indian wedding to this day.

MODERN FAMILY
A hilarious take on blended family chaos. Phil's dad jokes, Claire’s control freak moments, and then there’s Lilly — small but savage, always ready with sarcastic comments that stole the scene, like “Cry me a river… sorry, should I call you a wahmbulance?" It’s the kind of show you can jump back into anytime and still laugh like it’s the first time.
NOTTING HILL
A soft, feel-good rom-com that’s all heart. Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts bring the kind of charm you don’t see often anymore — and that ‘I’m just a girl, standing in front of boy, asking him to love her’ scene? Iconic in the best, most emotional way.
These aren’t just shows and movies — they’re comfort zones. Whether it’s the laughs of Big Bang theory, the sass of Suits, or the colourful charm of Bride and Prejudice, they remind us why some stories are worth watching again and again (and again).
