Looking for inspiration as 2020 drags on? Sex and the City co-stars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon today revealed their list of most inspiring films to watch safely at home as the coronavirus continues to rage – whilst reminding audiences that more needs to be done to help those most vulnerable to the virus.

Davis, a Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and Nixon, an advocate for LGBTQ+ and women’s rights, sat down for a virtual conversation as part of the ‘Films of Hope’ video series, a collaboration between the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and UNHCR. The friends chatted about movies, life during the pandemic (including Nixon’s experience with homeschooling), and the need to come together to fight the virus.

“Right now we all need to work together to beat COVID-19,” Davis said. “Every one of us and every action counts.”

Davis and Nixon each named three films, including documentaries, non-English language films and big-budget features. Others in the entertainment industry – including writer and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Neil Gaiman, director Guillermo del Toro and actor Gugu Mbatha-Raw ­– will soon follow with videos discussing their own picks. The series will be available on the IMDb What to Watch page.
