Remember the year 2000? Juicy Couture tracksuits were peak fashion, Shaggy was riding high in the charts and we were, y'know, actually allowed to leave the house? WHAT A TIME TO HAVE BEEN ALIVE.

And it was a bloody brilliant year for film, too. While we all lost our sh*t over the prospect of the mysterious 'Millennium Bug' causing utter chaos, the cinema provided some welcome relief and a bunch of movies that'd go down as classics.

So, since most of us are stuck in and 'working' from home and likely bored af, we thought it was time to revisit 20 films turning 20 in 2020.

SO MANY TWENTIES. So many fuzzy nostalgic feels.

Behold, the timeless flicks you're gonna want to queue up for a self-quarantine sofa sesh:
