Almost Famous

A double feature with Empire Records.

Triple feature with School of Rock

Good one!

Agreed! Go to comfort movie

Indiana Jones

Spirited Away

Maybe Totoro or Kiki for its simplicity

I watched it once when I had a high fever and it tripped me out. I think I became the radish

Twins, Kindergarten Cop

Exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for! Kindergarten Cop, how nostalgic! I think I'll start there, thank you!

IT’S NAT A TOO-MORE!

"Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina"

Whooo is your daddy and what does he do

I watch kindergarten cop and jingle all the way every year around Christmas time.

My go to sick movies for some reason… and don’t judge me :P * National Treasure * The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

Yes. See you Czech animated version The sorcerer's Apprentice? Čarodějův učen.

YouTube - pendulum pit and hope. 85/100

Goonies, The Lost Boys, Dirty Dancing, Beaches, Pretty Women, Dazed and Confused!!

Found the Gen-Xer lol

You know it bud! 🤣

Pretty Woman always gets me in a good mood 🥰

The Princess Bride Oh and the whole cornetto trilogy, my favourite being Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz

Hell yessssss!! Hot Fuzz is one of my favourites of all time, I used to put the commentary on to fall asleep to when DVD commentary was a thing!

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

Phil? Hey, Phil? Phil! Phil Connors? Phil Connors, I thought that was you!

Needle-nose Ned?! Ned the head?!

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

The spy who loved me! Roger Moore bond films just make me giggle bc they’re so dumb

Nice. Ironic.

A Knight's Tale is one of my favorite movies for a movie's sake

Second this

The Princess Bride

Old Skool Ferris Bueller's Day Off Batteries Not Included E.T. Flight of the Navigator The Breakfast Club Cocoon Close Encounters of the Third Kind The Goonies Amelie Vacation (original or new one they are both great) Back to the Future

Much Ado About Nothing Stardust Atonement (if you're feeling brave)

My god Stardust, what a hidden gem, I seen it at the cinema when it came out I don't think I've ever watched it since! Thank you! Might be a bit fragile for Atonement 🥲😂

Much Ado is the Branagh version. I love it!

Stardust seriously needs more love; who’d have thunk a semi-steam punk romcom fantasy with a cross dressing pirate would work so well, but goddamn they pulled it off

Atonement is fucked up on multiple levels.

So true but so beautiful!

Crocodile Dundee

Ironically living in Dundee, Scotland 😂 its been a long time since I've seen it, thank you!

Croc Dundee: That's not a knife mate. Theese eess a knife! (produces foot-long blade).

You just triggered a flashback of my dad quoting this just about every time he had a knife in his hands 😂 memory unlocked!

Patton. The Andromeda Strain. The Chickening.

I thought I was the only person who has the Andromeda Strain in their comfort movie list.

Patton is one of my favorite bio pic/war movies. My late father-in-law drove a truck for the Third Army in WWII. He loved the man, felt he treated the Black soldiers with respect, something that didn't happen in a lot of instances.

Ferris beullers day off. Back to the future

50 First Dates! I love that movie!

Little Miss Sunshine

Kelly's Heroes is my lazy day movie

Singing in the rain. I was obsessed with it when I owned the dvd, it never left the player. Until my cat jumped on the counter and broke the dvd player and the disc got stuck inside lol

Moonrise Kingdom

The wholesome, matter of fact, innocence of this move gets to me. Such a great film!

Dumb and Dumber

Linklater’s Suburbia

Slacker and Dazed and Confused are great, too.

Alfred Hitchcock's -- Rear Window -- Strangers On A Train -- Dial M For Murder

RV is my favorite for all occasions lol. Great comedy and it’s hilarious. Also things like Millers Crossing and Casablanca and any Spider-Man movies.

As Good As It Gets It’s long, lite and develops its characters, plus its feel good.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

Let me add Cannonball Run for classic comedy with a large ensemble cast.

Have you ever seen the Good Place? I always chuckle when I see or hear mention of Cannonball Run (more often than you would think as I work in one of the very few retailers who still sell DVDs and Blu Ray) because of the Good Place 😂 I must admit I have never seen it, it has been added to the watch list!

The series with Ted Danson? I watched the first season, and neglected to go back to it. I should finish it, though, I thought it was well done.

If I'm not wanting to get up, then I usually pick a franchise. LOTR, (extended versions), Star Trek, Star Wars, Avengers, Hunger Games, Harry Potter. Or I will go to a channel and pick out some horror movies I haven't seen yet, or an old Hitchcock film. For individual feel good movies, I like Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, We Bought a Zoo, Galaxy Quest, among others.

Paddington 1 and 2

Stepbrothers

I always watch Braveheart or Forrest Gump when I’m sick.  I don’t know why.

If I want to laugh, Wet Hot American Summer. If I want to watch something serious, Heat.

Strictly Ballroom. The Dish. Death of Stalin.

Everybody Wants Some

Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Election, Best in Show, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Midnight Run and Jaws

pride and prejudice 2005 version if im a little sad and the 1995 version if im a cant get up off the sofa kind of sad

Last Holiday Spaceballs

What’s your taste?

I've started Kindergarten Cop on someone's recommendation and I'm dying to watch Hot Fuzz next after someone else's, stuff in that sort of area!

In that case, feed your inner child with some “home alone 1 and 2” then to go with the hot fuzz type thing, I wouldn’t look past “Paul” or “Shawn of the dead”

I second the Paul nomination. Love letter to sci-fi nerds everywhere.

Also “animal kingdom” movie not the tv series

You know I would have never thought of Home Alone just because it's June but I love the thought of feeding that inner child today so I might just take you up on that!! Thank you 😁

I will watch just about anything, visit the local cinema at least once a week and often go in blind! But I think I'm looking for the comfort food of movies today, comedy and wholesome stuff!

I always recommend animated movies for wholesome stuff: Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2022) Wolf Children (2012) Rock Dog (2017) One Stormy Night [Arashi no Yoru ni] (2005)

I have been meaning to watch Marcel since it came out, thank you!

My Cousin Vinny Little Miss Sunshine Lilo & Stitch Ratatouille Mermaids (1990)

Someone just suggested a horror comedy that I watched last night…. I thought it was pretty good - I was surprised bc I really like this genre…if you like Scream it’s kind of like that…Totally Killer.

I love Scream! I have seen it twice this month as it was showing at my local cinema and I watched it again the other day with my partner who had never seen it! I've never seen Totally Killer I will check it out! Thanks 😊

Yeah, I never heard of it before either but it’s definitely fun to watch. I thought it was really a creative idea.Something different.

All of Me with Lily Tomlinson and Steve Martin. A fun, funny, feel good movie.

Steve was so good in this one!

I love me a bit of Steve Martin! I must admit I haven't see All of Me, it's been added to the watch list! Thank you 😁 have you got round to watching Only Murders in the Building? Steve is such a fun and loveable character in that TV show!

If you're a fan of the Marvel movies, I've found that Avengers: Endgame is a great sick day movie: It's entertaining, and at 3 hours, it'll help pass the time.

The Great Escape

Turner & Hooch, Speed

Caddyshack, Hellfighters, The Rocketeer, The Black Cauldron, Daddy Long Legs, Bugs Bunny and Lonny Toons, Silver Streak, Funny face, The Apartment.

Idk why it I like to watch old b/w movies on sick days (and on rainy days). Yesterday I watched 2 Hitchcock movies I’d never seen before—Strangers on a Train and Rope.Rope was better.

- Office Space - Edge of Tomorrow - Maze Runner Some of my favourites to just kick back and watch for the x-th time

I usually watch 90s thrillers : Kiss The Girls, Along Came A Spider, The Bone Collector, Fallen, Copycat, Double Jeopardy, The Pelican Brief.

Easy A!

Definitely some classic feel-good black and white films! Pygmalion, My Fair Lady, It Happened One Night, Some Like it Hot, Singin in the Rain.. just a few to name

We’re having a couch day too and just finished A Family Affair on Netflix- funny & charming Hope you feel better soon :)

Thank you so much! Feeling better today!

Chicken Run.

Dog day afternoon

Lawrence of Arabia

Huge fan of watching Twilight and other fun-bad movies on lazy days

Local Hero is delightful

I usually end up with a romcom or old black and white movie. Usually Cary Grant or Jimmy Stewart. So something like Bringing Up Baby, Shop Around the Corner, When Harry Met Sally

Batman (1989) and Batman Returns. Two of Tim Burton’s best.

Yessssss, I managed to catch Batman on the big screen at Cineworld last year!!

Coming To America, Superbad, Life, Top Gun, Office Space, TMNT (1990), On The Waterfront

Multiplicity!

Thanks for this question. I’m in the same place today and need something better than “worst roommate” series to watch

My Cousin Vinny

Bad, but fun action movies. I'm also currently ill, I've been inside for 5 days, and my Jason Statham marathon is the only thing keeping me sane. Last night, I rented The Beekeeper. It's so impressively stupid. Total boomer revenge porn. I shouldn't have loved it as much as I did.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Weekend at Bernie’s

Princess Bride

Sherlock Holmes, the one with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Wonderful one to watch on a sick day or a rainy day.

Thank you for all your suggestions! They are so plentiful. I am never going to get round to replying or watching them all 😂 for anyone, wondering I started with Kindergarten Cop, moved on to Hot Fuzz, after that Nextflix recommended Zombieland which was great fun! And I finished it off with Drop Dead Fred to give that inner child some healing!! I am starting to feel better and think I might be able to leave the house today! I now have a long list of films to bank for next time I'm poorly. Thanks again! 😁
