In the lead up to this year’s National Day, 106 Singapore films and TV shows will be launched progressively on Netflix from Aug 1.

This is made possible thanks to partnerships between local studios, such as Clover Films and MM2 Entertainment, and the streaming service platform.

If you can’t decide what to watch from the whopping list of 106 titles, fret not! We have shortlisted seven films and shows to take you on a trip down memory lane.

Produced and directed by Jack Neo, the Ah Boys To Men series is one of the most iconic Singaporean films of all time.

The comedy film features NSF recruit Ken Chow, played by Joshua Tan, whose newfound attitude and dedication causes a rift with other soldiers when he resumes his mandatory service in the army.

Ah Boys To Men II will be available from Aug 1.

If you’re like me and can’t handle anything with horror, try watching The Ghost Must Be Crazy. The comedy horror film, directed by Mark Lee and Boris Boo, is split into two stories.

The first story is about taking a day off in the army and the other is about a ghost bride’s marriage. The film is more humorous than horror, besides the usual jumpscares and special effects make-up.

The Ghost Must Be Crazy will be available from Aug 1.

Award-winning Singaporean film Ilo Ilo, directed by Anthony Chen, is about the relationship between Teresa, a maid who left the Philippines to work in Singapore, and a spoiled boy from the family she works for.

Ilo Ilo will be available from Aug 1.
