It's just one of a number of online initiatives in place while people are advised to remain at home.
The hashtag covideo party was created by comedian Alison Spittle.
She says people are also encouraged to dress up as characters from the film.
"So we've watched, Matilda, Jumanji, Clueless, and last night we watched Extraordinary because it is an Irish film with Maeve Higgins in it.
And we all had a blast because of St Patrick's Day, it was really great craic.
People were dressing as ghosts, or something really Irish, so lot of Irish flags...
"But mainly ghosts."
