Films

[lilslugger]

what films do you like watching when life gets you down? i like lost in translation-a nice story with brill music, mask-it reminds me its not looks that count but what a persons like, one flew over the cuckoos nest-j nicklsons character is a brill anti hero and painful secrets-a good film about self harm with a sweet ending.

Re: films

I like silly movies like Dumb and Dumber or even Austin Powers movies when I am down.

They always make me laugh and think of the light side of life in some ways.

Re: films

I like the feel good movies when I'm down. Comedy but with a point to it. While not a comedy, I also love "Pay it forward" (older movie now) with Kevin Spacey.

[Jazzey]

Re: films

Me too. Somekind of Wonderful is still my favorite though...what can I say? Eric Stolz... I think that I fell in love with the story line along with the music in the movie.

...Sixteen candles is also in my library - Shhhh - I don't ever admit that one!

Yes - sorry, I corrected my last post to show Eric Stoltz And I also loved "Can't buy me love"...

Re: films

No one's going to mention The Breakfast Club?? To me, that's just about the ultimate 80's movie.

Wait-- except Back to the Future.

 

[Jazzey]

Re: films

:lol:...Got that one in the collection too! Thanks for reminding me Charity...Again - Shhh, this is not something I would ever discuss..And St. Elmo's fire? I just saw Judd Nelson in a more recent movie...Talk about feeling OLD...

When I'm stressed, tired, or down:

• cheesey horror flicks
• thrillers
• sci-fi movies like Contact, Close Encounters, etc.
• off-beat quirky movies

When I'm content, happy, thoughtful, un-stressed:

• a variety of other movies as long as they not graphically violent or involves torture, sexual assault, child abuse, or gartuitous nastiness

Other movies I like are the Rocky series movies. Sit on the couch with a nice blanket and have a Rocky marathon. If it is cold, a nice cup of hot chocolate.


"ADRIAN!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[Jazzey]

"Porky's Marathon".. Not proud, but I've done it...:lol:

 

[NicNak]

I also forgot about the movie Road Trip and another one that was pretty neat, I thought was Rat Race. Lots of famous actors in that and a strange concept movie, but so funny in many ways.

Well, when I'm having a major depressive episode, it's horrors and thrillers. During those times, funny movies irritate me. Movies with happy endings p*** me off! :lol:

I love your reply who wants a happy ending when your depressed, they very rarely happen in real life anyway

I like really weird ones that have odd endings or that you can't really work out, I like movies that leave you with the question 'what have I just watched!' They are really good when your depressed!
