Think it was called Magnolia, it had Tom Cruise in it but still fell asleep.

out of africa.......

suzywong · 13/10/2004 13:28

any action no brainer, obviously

But most Sci Fi

Magnolia with the raining toads was genius

LouBeeLou · 13/10/2004 13:30

Is it the one where Tom Cruise does public speeches to men? And Julianne Moore has an older husband who's really poorly?

Just couldn't get into it.

Mind you I do fall asleep most times we watch a film at home.

spacemonkey · 13/10/2004 13:30

yes that's the one

the raining toads bit is one of my all time favourite film sequences

spook · 13/10/2004 13:32

Lord of the Rings,Shakespeare in Love and Pulp Fiction (twice!!!which I am not particularly proud of)

I have half of Master and Commander left to watch and I think I got the gist of it after about 20 minutes, waves, cannons, RC in tight trousers, is there more to it I wonder?

LouBeeLou · 13/10/2004 13:33

Hmmmm.......maybe I should watch it again sometime, when I'm not so tired.

zzzzzzzzzz

Fell asleep first time of watching Pulp Fiction as I thought it was pants but NOW it's one of my faves and have sat through it a fair few times!

Howard's End. Deathly.

The General's Daughter ( I think it was called that - horrible film about a woman being raped and an investigation). Only went with a group of friends as I had just been chucked and just wanted to be out instead of in on my own but it was awful. I would never have believed I could sleep anywhere as noisy as a cinema!!

alibubbles · 13/10/2004 21:28

Finding Nemo, Babe and Toy story after 10 minutes!

Jennisaurus · 13/10/2004 21:51

The Shining

Jennisaurus · 13/10/2004 21:52

Ooops fell asleep watching the shining on video obviously!

The Village sent me to sleep recently.
