Mostly, but not completely off-topic, your title is a good reminder
of the need to be able to unwind during studies. It immediately
brings to mind what I consider the best movie ever made,
"Casablanca", with the unforgettable line "Round up the usual
suspects."
Other thoughts for movies to have on hand:
Complete works (including TV) of Monty Python
Blazing Saddles
Tron (if only for the line from the Master Control Computer, threatening
a subordinate computer with exile to a pocket calculator)
Young Frankenstein (probably an IOS developer)
Rocky Horror Picture Show (definitely IOS developers)
Perhaps some recreational literature.
"Jabberwocky" may put you in a better frame to understand test questions.
Poe. Lots of Poe. "The Raven" for late-night studying, "The Pit
and the Pendulum" for lab time pressure practice
