Title: good movies to watch when your sick
Post by: Ernie on February 23, 2003, 11:22:16 PM
Alright, so I was trying to pick out some good movies to watch today because I'm sick with a fucking cold and, as I was, I sort of realized how hard it is to pick out a movie to watch when I'm sick. Is it the same with you guys? Like, I didn't want anything that was going to make me laugh too hard because I have one hell of a sore throat and I didn't really want anything too deep or mind fucking because I've got a headache but you know, I don't just want to lie there and sleep because I can't possibly do that with my nose all stuffed up, I can't breathe. So, after putting as much thought into my choices as my headache-infested head would allow, I ended up picking these out to cheer me up.....

monsters inc. (don't laugh, i wanted something light and it's a nice little movie)
sweet home alabama (my sister bought it before and i had never seen it, it wasn't that bad at all surprisingly)
swingers (trent makes me fucking laugh even when i'm sick)
there's something about mary

So, tell me what you guys like to watch when your sick with a cold or anything like that.

I like any Pixar or anything that is nostalgic of my childhood like 80s movies. Otherwise, being sick is an awesome time to both sleep and watch movies because you have nothing else to do.

The Twin Peaks series. Watch something you have seen before so that you don't have to concentrate.

The original Star Wars trilogy or the Indiana Jones trilogy. I find it best, when your sick, to watch movies that have to do with one another. Sequels work well too.

for some reason i watch Sydney every time im sick. it just fits, its perfect. i was sick last week and i had gotten the first season of Six Feet Under from netflix so i watched that, and the second season i taped, that was good too.

dont watch The Apartment when your sick, every time Jack Lemmon sneezed my eyes watered and i had to blow my nose.

Sydney sounds really good for some reason. I haven't watched it in awhile. Good suggestion man.

I agree with `Back To The Future`, either that or `The BFG`

I dont know why but i will always love that film, and it`s great when you`re sick, a really feelgood movie.

Watch a movie you watched when you were sick growing up.  I remember one time when I was about 10 or 11 my mom rented The Goonies and I watched it when I was sick.  That's something I broke out a couple of months ago when I was down with disease.  I don't know if it helped me feel better but it was fun.
