Films are an easy fix for boredom. But if Netflix is too expensive or its fare no longer interesting, check out the 3,000 films available for free on the site of the National Film Board of Canada. The vast collection includes a multitude of selections for the younger set, including educational playlists, mini-lessons, and animated shorts. There are plenty of grown-up documentaries and narrative features, too. Stream films at www.nfb.ca.
