Bored, having a crappy time life wise so nothing depressing or "moving" cos if I start crying I won't bloody stop!

Stuff that's easy to watch but good enough quality to be distracting please?

Like the usual 80's/90's classics, action, thrillers, quality rom coms (not gross out or slapstick please), bio pics etc

Hope you guys can help.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Befoe was pretty good.

graziemille567 · 04/08/2019 20:08

Not sure if it's still on there, but When Harry Met Sally is always a sure fire winner!

Friday night dp and I watched murder mystery ( on I think Netflix ) starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. I watched it again at my will but I really enjoyed it!

I watched my best friends wedding the other night, it so bad it was good!

If you fancy a series then schitts creek is brilliant and underrated. The characters grow so much and are so funny.

Autumnchill · 04/08/2019 20:22

Schitts Creek is hilarious! Gutted when I finished it

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 04/08/2019 20:26

Watch cartoons, they're perfect escapism from shitty real life.
I recommend Hilda or She-Ra on Netflix.

For a dumb but entertaining Rom-Com try "Isn't it romantic" on Netflix.

DH and I watched American Made on Netflix last night and really enjoyed it.

userabcname · 04/08/2019 20:31

I watched Mystic Pizza and The Back Up Plan recently- they were easy to watch.

Fuma · 04/08/2019 20:31

Agree that Murder Mystery was genuinely enjoyable and like you I didn't go into it with high expectations.

lboogy · 04/08/2019 21:03

Always be my maybe on Netflix
Hot tub time machine on Netflix
Death at a funeral on Netflix
Bridesmaids on Netflix
Disenchanted on Netflix
The letdown on Netflix

Fuma · 04/08/2019 21:25

Oh and OP I hope things pick up for you soon. Flowers

onyourway · 04/08/2019 21:47

Captain Fantastic on Prime
Hunt for the Wilderpeople on Netflix.

Loveislandaddict · 04/08/2019 21:52

Dodgeball - fairly predictable, but light entertainment,

Turn Up Charlie - stars Idris Elba, good series

Brady Bunch
Baywatch
Flintstones

  • not necessarily Oscar winn8ng but entertaining enough

(Haven’t checked if all on netflix)
