What films do you watch when you're feeling down?
 
I watch;

Watchmen-cos its awesome and sometimes i feel like rorschach, alone and angry at the world.


Casablanca-its about a breakup of a relationship, but the moral is, nothing can take away the good times you had.

I often watch Prescila Queen of the Desert, it's a pretty upbeat happy clappy film, it's about drag queens after all, and man, I ****ing love Hugo Weaving when he was all lanky and young.

Mean girls is also good, and the wedding singer for the soundtrack. I also like to watch my suicide girls dvd, though that can make me a tad horny and jealous.

Of course if I'm feeling down and don't want to feel better, just want to indulge in my own misery, then I'll probably watch Chumscrubber, Pulse, Requiem for a Dream, etc.

Disney Disney and more Disney.
Also Anastasia, and RENT. Rent is actually fairly depressing but the ending is so uplifting for me <3

28 days is a good happy movie =]

The War Doctor 22-03-2010 09:09 PM

Taxi Driver. I also watch it when I'm feeling happy, or angry, or anything really. It's the greatest film of all time.

Benji 23-03-2010 03:21 PM

Lesbian Vampire Killers, Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, Queen of the Damned and Monty Python. Or I just put on Invader Zim for a while.

monket 23-03-2010 03:51 PM

Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Mars Attacks!, Cecil B. Demented, or any zombie movie. Nothing cheers me up quite like the living dead.

AutumnMoon 23-03-2010 06:23 PM

Dirty Dancing, all the way.
Ice Age 1 and 3
The Princess Bride
Mamma Mia...

^ Aww, i haven't seen Parent Trap in years! Such a great film too.

When i feel down i usually like to watch Comedies such as Withnail and I.
Also, feel good films like Spirited Away make me feel much better too!

Depends if it's a "I wanna feel better" down or a "i wanna indulge my misery" down.
If I'm aiming to cheer myself up I watch:
- Charmed (the TV series)
- NCIS (TV series)
- The Chronicles of Narnia (but I'm not religious, so I ignore those undertones)
- Loving Annabelle
- Hotel For Dogs (shut up, ok, it's a good movie)
- No Reservations
- Stardust
- Wild Child

If I want to indulge my misery:
- Girl, Interrupted
- The Virgin Suicides
- Speak
- The Uninvited
- Flicka (meant to be happy, I guess, but it makes me sad)
- My Dog Skip (again, meant to be happy...ish)
- Episodes where characters I like die from ER, NCIS, Charmed etc.

frenchhorn 04-04-2010 01:38 PM

Mamma Mia
Bridget Jones
Blackadder
Fawlty Towers
Friends

The Parent Trap is my all time favourite film xD
I could recite it all by heart, but I still watch it when I'm down, it's comforting.

Sister Act always cheers me up.
As does Mean Girls.

Richie Rich is really good for me when I'm not feeling so great.

And the Aristocats.

Just anything that's not to strenuous to watch.
