I have the TV to myself tonight. I'm miserable and need cheering up. What should I watch?

Well it was on about a week ago! High Society with Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby. It has everything! And Satchmo! I absolutely love it! Grace's beauty and elegance, I love the photographer lady who was with Sinatra. My favourite lines :

Grace: "Aren't men wonderful?"
Photographer lady: "The little dears!"

The songs, the humour.

I also love the film SPY with Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham (who makes a right prat of himself, hilarious!) Supposed to be a real tough guy but fucks up all the time. Oh and Miranda has a part in it. Brilliant.
