Guilty pleasures !! - Films that make you chill....

I'll be honest whenever I get the chance to have the DVD player on and I want time to chill I love sticking BLAME IT ON RIO on the player.

1. It usually makes my Wife leave the room....(She starts feeling her age!!..although she's looked it for some time!! )

2. It helps me get away from my boring mundane existence as dutiful Husband and Father.....coupled with the stresses of being bored puke-less at work.

3. I like perving at Michelle Johnson...and for 90 minutes I can be in Rio Imagining I'm having a gorgeous girl young enough to be my Daughter.

4. It's a damn good movie that makes me laugh.......

5. It helps keep my mid-life crisis on hold for a while..

Grapes Of Wrath
causes my housemate to leave the room as it's in b&w & doesn't feature special effects
makes my life seem infinitely less sh1tty

I'll look out for it.............Never seen it..

Good to chill..

ca 1940, stars Henry Fonda.

Would highly recommend the book too.

Home Alone is probably my guilty pleasure but Rio Bravo and Dirty Harry wouldn't be far behind. 12 Angry Men and To Kill A Mockingbird are also perfect weekend afternoon films.

The goodbye girl - with Richard Drayfuss.

Good film ONETWO.........Have a couple of threads on the Boxing board you might want to give an opinion on..

Back To The Future

Had a watch last night, whilst the good lady was working. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Four Weddings and a Funeral. Love that film.

Love Actually. Sounds soppy but I blooming LOVE that film.

Makes me chill...................


A film that makes me chill is one I get excited about seeing (even one I've seen a hundred thousand times)... a film that you want to be settled in for, that you don't want to be disturbed during.... and yes, a chill film for me is usually one I have to watch on my own as I detest being in the same room as those who don't appreciate my favourite movies!!!!!!!!!

GET OUT!!!! - AND STAY OUT!!!! - and the dog usually goes quitely enough

But there are too many...and they're mostly B&W with wonderful dialogue - a lost art really.

So - any of Humphrey Bogart's - Key Largo being an especial favourite - the setting, the rise of tension, the beauty

Another one would be Lonely are the Brave (Kirk Douglas)

..and a few more would include Spence Tracy. He just operated on a different level...and when his mouth tired of talking his eyes would still act the rest of the cast off the set.
Bad Day at Black Rock (I know, I know - colour!)

500 Days of Summer

Don't know what it is about this movie that I love so much, probably because Zooey Deschannel is in it
