Rather than giving you a list of movies to watch, which you would probably exhaust within a day or two, we figure we’d give you a list of Instagram pages which offer a vast array of the most riveting movies to choose from.

So, here, we serve you five Nigerian - why not Nigerian, right? - Instagram accounts you should follow if you are an avid movie lover looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat during this lockdown.

1. Factory Reject

@finalspace is so freaking good! I'm actually amazed at how good it turned out. I must have scrolled past it hundreds of times while browsing for something 'fresh' to watch, that I was so peeved at myself for not starting earlier (but then I'd have never had the pleasure of binging both seasons back to back, so I guess that turned out to be a good thing). This action comedy sci-fi doesn't hit it off from the get-go, but it's diligent in its reveal - slowly unraveling its bigger picture with intricate storytelling, great comedy, finely crafted sub plots and memorable characters, but underneath all of that, is an actual story, one with a lot of heart and depth, and it got even better with Season 2. Final Space is a real gem - You don't come across many animated series these days with this much going for it (and believe me I know). If you like shows like Rick and Morty, South Park or the Simpsons, then you certainly have to get on this, besides it not like you have anything better to do 😝 #finalspace #netflix #netflixandchill #quarantine #quarantineandchill #teamsquad #galaxyone #animation #olanrogers #staysafe #stayhome

MY TOP 20 FROM 2019 (PART 4) 5. WAVES Usually you'll meet a central character long after the tragic defining moment that shaped their ideal, has happened. This coming-of-age slow burn purports to tell two stories wherein the first half is a real-time account of a promising black high schooler whose unfortunate undoing unwittingly becomes the backstory to that of his younger sister. Because we've witnessed firsthand her older sibling crash and burn, she becomes a more relatable character whose journey to self-healing in the second half is easier to digest. Many found this dual-perspective storytelling jarring but I thought it seamless and effective, if not ingenious. 4. JOKER We already know how I feel about this. My worship of the Todd Phillips iteration is well-documented. This was more than a film. It was a vibe. Virtually all the elements from cinematography to scoring, acting and editing, operating at a high level and meshing together sublimely to create a tone poem on classism and depression. 3. JUDY This was a real heartbreaker. I barely weep over anything yet I shed precisely two tears from my right eye lol by the time this ended. Not all that glitters is gold and Judy Garland was definitely one of those larger-than-life figures that got the short end of that stick. 2. PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE Travesty of the century how this French work of art didn't merit an Oscar nomination for its cinematography. 'Parasite' couldn't hold a candle to it. Every shot of every single scene was otherworldly! Celestial even. And beyond that painterly exterior were two charming and enigmatic heroines at the heart of one of cinema's best love stories. 1. LES MISÉRABLES Another solid entry from France! Unpredictable ass film. A routine patrol by three law enforcers takes a turn for the worst when a group of dangerous gypsies give a black neighborhood a 24-hour ultimatum to find the little boy that stole a lion cub from their circus. This story becomes a profound statement on how sowing seeds of compassion can yield unexpected fruit and ends on the Victor Hugo quote; "My friends, remember this. There are no bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators."
