WhileNetflix’s latest no.1 smash-hitRebel Ridgesits atop the streamer’s chartright now, I was given an (Arctic) blast from the past when a 20-year-old movie stormed into Netflix’s top 10 list – seemingly out of nowhere.

The Day After Tomorrowis currently sat in the no.2 slot in Netflix’s rankings here in the UK, showing that there’s still life in the ol' dog. Because, make no mistake, this two-decades-old movie is indeed a bit of a dog: itsRotten Tomatoes score is sat at a measly 45%– and I can totally understand why.

But just because it’s not agoodmovie, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watchThe Day After Tomorrow. Sure, I find it completely ridiculous in places – the scene outrunning ice freezing behind them is a ‘classic’ – but its climate change rhetoric is very much of the moment, making it arguably even more relevant than ever.

The Day After Tomorrow

There was a chunk of time from the mid-90s to mid-2000s when disaster movies were all the rage. I remember Pierce Brosnan inDante’s Peakbeing a particularlyso-bad-it’s-goodcontender. Although I’m not sure anything can quite touch the heyday ofDeep ImpactandArmageddonboth appearing in 1998. What a time to be alive!

Still,the best streaming servicescan’t keep serving up brand new blockbusters or pricey series. And whetherThe Day After Tomorrowis a teenage nostalgia blast for you, or you’re younger and haven’t ever seen it before then, go ahead, dig in – you never know, in a couple of days it could sit atop the Netflix chart!
