10 egg-cellent movies to watch on the run-up to Easter
Easter is already almost upon us and after St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and Mother’s Day treats, the spring-time holiday has really crept up on us this year.
While many of us need to run to the shops to buy some Easter eggs for our loved ones, we’re still trying to really get in the Easter mood.
As we prepare for Easter egg hunts this weekend with the little ones in our family and are looking forward to divulging in some chocolatey goodness, we always find a great way to get into the spirit of a celebration is to enjoy some movies that fit the theme.
If you feel like watching some Easter films to put a spring in your step before the big day, check out our list of the top 10 movies you should have a gawk at this week.
