Nothing too taxing/arty/violent, nothing that will be compromised by being watched in 45-mins installments over a couple of nights. Just your favourite cosy/funny movies, please.

I think Jerry Maguire's sweet, but always seems very long...

I was going to say what HandbagAddiction said ...
Jerry Maguire ..... I love it when DH goes out so I can watch it!

flamesparrow · 14/03/2005 09:17

Loser - got the guy from American Pie in it... lovely film!!

HandbagAddiction · 14/03/2005 09:20

Ooh yes - strictly ballroom - another fave of mine. Have to watch that one alone as DH can't stand it!!

Janh · 14/03/2005 09:20

Oh yes, gb - love Big!

Also quite like the similar one where the boy and the dad swap - something to do with an African Mask. (Looked it up on imdb - Vice Versa.)

Just watched 'Under the Tuscan Sun' and enjoyed it despite thinking "what the hell did you get that out for DH"

he unfailingly picks good movies for me that I think why? and then really enjoy

hotmama · 14/03/2005 09:22

JoolsToo · 14/03/2005 09:23

What Women Want (mainly for the soundtrack!)

wheresmyfroggy · 14/03/2005 09:36

Texas chainsaw massacre, the excorcist, psycho

Sort of thing i watch to make me feel better

flamesparrow · 14/03/2005 09:38

LOL - Nothing like a bit of hacking people up to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

SeaShells · 14/03/2005 09:39

I love Texas chainsaw masacre, the old one though, hated the remade version. It's a classic!

Anything with Meg Ryan in!

Does anyone know that other film with Meg Ryan in where she goes after a bloke and ends up in France? It's got that guy in from A Fish Called Wanda.

flamesparrow · 14/03/2005 09:44

That'd be French Kiss I think...

JoolsToo · 14/03/2005 09:45

Kevin Klein?

Newbarnsleygirl · 14/03/2005 09:46

Yeah thats it.

Add that to my list!
I think I might have a little spend on Amazon now!!

flamesparrow · 14/03/2005 09:50

Nah, you'd be better off on ebay

Tissy · 14/03/2005 10:09

My Fair Lady- lovely songs and a happy ending

stereoboomer · 21/03/2016 12:45

"About time" with Bill Nighy, Rachel McAdams and Domhall Gleeson takes some beating.

BagelGoesWalking · 21/03/2016 16:09

Begin Again with Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley is lovely. Would easily watch for a 2nd time.

Pride is fantastic
Sunshine on Leith is fun
The Help
Big Fish
Goodwill Hunting
A Long Way Down
The Birdcage (version with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane)
Nebraska (got a big thumbs-up on another thread)
White House Down (if you fancy an action movie when you know Channing Tatum will sort it all out)

HerdOfRhino · 22/03/2016 14:47

A Grand Day Out with Wallace and Gromit...It is only short though.
Laura's Star
Tigger Movie
Madeline
