at home ill. need to watch something to cheer me up.
ideas please
hunt for the wilderpeople
National Lampoons European vacation
+1 for hunt for the wilderpeople
Princess Bride
Top Secret
Team America
TED
EDIT : Good call on The Princess Bride
I think Animal house was the best national lampoons film but either would do.
My wife got me one of those bucket list posters for films and one i quite enjoyed was The grand Budapest hotel a total farce but i enjoyed it way more yhan i thought i would.
If youll watch kids stuff theres the likes of wreck it ralf
Amelie is also a good film and is our youngests name.
Airplane
Amelie
Oh, and Young Frankenstien .
This is life-affirmingly wonderful, and really puts things in perspective when you're feeling a bit meh.
Its also just a bloody brilliant film
Wim Wenders' Until the End of the World
Team America is a good shout. Fun if crude.
I love Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Mostly for nerds, but if you give it some slack to begin with you might like it too.
I rewatched Holy Grail the other day - it’s great, and familiar too. Lots of quotable stuff, if it’s your thing.
Planes, Trains & Automobiles. One of my all-time faves 🙂
Dodgeball !!
+1 for Dodgeball. Hot Fuzz is my current go-to cheerying film, honourable mention for A Million Ways To Die In The West, top-class comedy gross. 🙂
If I was in the 'ill at home' situation I wouldn't be aiming to be cheered up I'd just be aiming for some of my favourite classics that I enjoy and would make me then feel better because of it. So for that reason
Forest Gump
Nottinghill
Harry Potter 3 - onwards
The Way Way back.
Airplane
Withnail and I
Princess Bride if you have not seen it 🙂
Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Good call!
+1 for hunt for the wilder people and The Way Way back
Of the same ilk - little miss sunshine
+1 for hunt for the wilderpeople
I opened the thread to recommend this too.
Back to the Future 1.
Anything by Wes Anderson, But Moonrise Kingdom for a happy ending.
National Treasure 1&2 (normally on constant replay on Sky)
Free Fire. I thought it was a hoot, and you'll never hear Annie's Song again without thinking of THAT scene.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Princess Bride
Stardust
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Desperado
Hot Fuzz
Shaun of the dead
Back to the future
Goonies
Tucker & Dale vs Evil
Bill & Ted!
It happened one night.
Top Hat.
The apartment.
The Incredibles! The Incredibles 2 !
Ignore Wilderpeople and go for What We Do In The Shadows.
+1 for Top Hat and Tucker&Dale. Of late I really enjoyed Monuments Men after finally seeing it. Oh, and Ocean's 8 was good enough chewing gum for the brain.
Nearly forgot: Young Frankenstein.
Sunshine on Leith.
Don't let the fact that it's a musical set to the songs of The Proclaimers put you off, it's chuffingly cheeringly brilliant.
Or, on a cycling theme, Breaking Away.
just watched Princess bride.
very good and funny.
always wondered who Inigo montoya was............ ;o)
Blazing Saddles.
Or The Big Lebowski.
...and seconded on What we do in the shadows. Genius movie 😆
I remember belly laughing out loud, with my headphones on, sitting on business class watching the film Knocked Up.
It was pretty funny, just made me chuckle. Same for the Ugly Truth
Simple humour, simple plot, an easy and enjoyable watch
Is it wrong that I also enjoyed the Baywatch movie recently?
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Great shout, I’m going to watch that again tomorrow.
The Blues Brothers - original only; not the shonky re-make.
Mars Attacks!
Oil City Confidential - following on from Binners^^^
Spinal Tap.
O Brother where art thou?
Burn before reading.
Get well soon.
A Knight's Tale. 🙂
Little Miss Sunshine.
Old School
Snatch
Lock Stock
Maybe some American Pie
Twin town (if you don't mind a bit/lot of swearing)
Several +1s for The Way Way Back, Little Miss Sunshine and Twin Town.
Kingpin.
