Easy watches - cheesy/fluffy undemanding films that are a good distraction

[Graphista]

I'm looking for light but not necessarily comedy fare to watch over the bank holiday/lockdown.

Just started "angel has fallen" as I enjoyed previous "fallen" movies. And I love Gerard butler.

I'm thinking light action films, romcoms, music based films (I've been indulging in watching rock of ages and pitch perfects on Netflix)

I have prime and Netflix and despite being largely philosophically opposed to all things Disney I am very tempted by Disney+ as there are some cracking old ones on there like "3 men and a baby" and I must admit I love marvel and Star Wars too.

Love John Hughes and other classic 80's movies and fun 90's movies.

Thought others might be seeking same at this time too.

Sometimes we don't know a film is available on a service unless we specifically look for it due to how the recommendations seem to work.

[Graphista]

I stick to known legit services. Artists shouldn't be ripped off.

Watched 'Love Wedding Repeat' yesterday it was funny and light hearted I enjoyed it. Netflix

[muddledmidget]

I'd watch some of the Julia Stiles films from the late 90s and early 2000s ie, 10 things I hate about you and Save the last dance. The Step Up franchise is also good, plus Dirty Dancing and Pretty Woman

[MuddyPuddlesAndPrettyBubbles]

LaLa Land is fabulous, I loved it. The old BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is on Netflix too, it's so dramatic in a genteel way.

[Xylophonics]

Yesterday and Rocketman , both very enjoyable.

[cushioncovers]

Horrible bosses 2

[WooYa]

I watched Step Up today and it was good!

[Irial]

Housesitter (Steve Martin/Goldie Hawn) Was out on the walk earlier, and it strangely came up in my memory... just watching it now

[OnceUponAMidnightBeery]

I second 10 Things I Hate About You, loved it as a teen, love it now.

School of Rock. Any Goldie Hawn films. Anything with Jack Black in it. Full Monty. That fabulous film with zombies and a policeman, having a total brain freeze on what it’s called 🤦🏻‍♀️

[OnceUponAMidnightBeery]

If you’re in the mood for cheesy, Demons is my best worst movie ever.

[CaurnieBred]

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. Lovely film

[Zhx3]

The films I wouldn't admit to liking, but an looking forward to watching with dd :

She's All That
One Fine Day

[Zhx3]

Oh, and Blades of Glory!

[bettybattenburg]

Fisherman's Friends
Swimming with Men

[bettybattenburg]

The man who sued god (Billy Connelly) and another Billy Connelly one called 'What we did on our holiday'

[BikeRunSki]

Legally Blonde!

[coffeeagogo]

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery Shaun of the dead or dead heat?

Op How about Tremors, the wedding singer, 50 first dates, steel magnolias, jumanji (the newer one), Julie and Julia

Yes yes to one fine day (loved that)

[BikeRunSki]

What We Did On Our Holidays is glorious.

[Fleamaker123]

How's about Pillow Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson.. love that film! It's got romance, style, humour, Doris Day singing.

Planes Trains and Automobiles for a laugh but you've prob already seen

[SerBrienneOfHouseTarth]

The new Jumanji films are good fun. For classics how about Overboard (Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell), Private Benjamin and Weekend at Bernie's! I also love the Legally Blonde and Miss Congeniality films

[Graphista]

"That fabulous film with zombies and a policeman, having a total brain freeze on what it’s called"

Hot fuzz? Are you mixing it up with Shaun of the dead?

LOVE billy Connolly and have seen what we did on our holiday but not sued god one.

Are these all available on Netflix or prime?

LOVE one fine day 😍 if that's available I'll be so happy!

The wedding date is one I've added to my prime list last few days. Totally cheesy but lovely

"The new Jumanji films are good fun" I keep debating watching these but remakes/reboots don't have good odds usually and I ADORE the original.

[seekingwaxwings]

I enjoyed About Time, I think it's on Netflix.
