I've got a mild hangover after Christmas drinks last night, DH has his works Christmas do tonight and I cannot wait just to snuggle on the sofa in my PJ's with a pizza once DS is in bed.

I want to watch an old familiar film which I've seen before, which I don't have to concentrate on and which will sooth my achy post hangover body.

What is your top re-watch film for situations like this? My brain is too frazzled to think!!

Die Hard or Die Hard 2 I just love Bruce Willis, it's christmassy enough without making me emotional. Failing that Bridget Jones.

Grease
Pretty Woman

Any of the Pitch Perfect films

Baby Boom with Diane Keaton, there's something about the apple sauce I find very comforting.

At this time of year, Muppets Christmas Carol. At any other time of year, Muppets Treasure Island, Labyrinth or Muppets Movie. I love the muppets and it always reminds me of being tucked up on the sofa with my Dad after bathtime on a Sunday evening. It’s the ultimate snuggly comfort watch.

30daysoflight · 06/12/2019 16:47

Totally agree with High Spirits, Shirley Valentine and It's A Wonderful Life.
One of my favourite feel good films is Cousins with Isabella Rossillini and Ted Danson.

DefConOne · 06/12/2019 16:48

Strictly Ballroom is my number 1
Any Pitch Perfect
The Breakfast Club
Bridesmaids
First Nativity

BloodyCats · 06/12/2019 16:48

The Poseidon Adventure.

And nothing beats the seventies Columbo movies...they are the ultimate comfort.

Redcrayons · 06/12/2019 16:53

The Proposal
Dirty Dancing
Moonlighting on YouTube
Old 80s brat pack films stuff like St Elmos Fire
And a new one, Dumplin. I watched it two nights runnning when I first saw. It's surprisingly feelgood.

Weirdly; the Day after Tomorrow. It makes me feel so cosy that I'm not going through that, and has a lovely happy ending... Blush well sort of!
