At home sick? What are your favorite movies to watch?
Hi, everyone. I’m checking in with a briefer-than-usual blog post, because I had my wisdom teeth out this morning. So far, I’m recovering fine, and everything went smoothly, but I don’t really have the energy for a proper blog post. I do, however, have the energy to nap and watch TV. Which leads me to pull out a blog post I wrote more than two years ago (!) asking readers of this blog to share their favorite movies to watch when they’re at home sick.
Normally, I would opt for an old favorite like Clueless (as I did in the aforementioned blog post), Clue, The Princess Bride (itself book-ended by a home-sick Fred Savage), Mean Girls, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (also apropos), Rear Window, Star Trek IV: The One with the Whales, etc., etc.
Today, though, since we’re only halfway to the end of October (and Halloween), I’m opting for some scary and supernatural fare: Urban Legends: Final Cut (which I’ve never seen, but I have a soft spot for the original), followed by the just-released The Stepfather and Sam Raimi’s Drag Me To Hell, both of which I blogged about yesterday. Also on deck is Trick ‘r’ Treat, and the non-horror themed duo of Atom Egoyan’s Adoration and Steven Soderbergh’s Che: Part Two, and a whole mountain of other stuff that I can always sift through.
What about you? With flus (swine and otherwise) and seasonal allergies rearing their ugly heads, you may even have a fairly recent example to share. So tell us: What are your favorite movies to watch when you’re at home sick?
