Movies you watch when you're sick

holyguacamole79

DH and I are going to take care of my pregnant sister this weekend while her husband is OOT. She's having bad morning sickness and is pretty miserable. I'm taking movies for her to watch ... What do you watch when you're sick? I already packed Despicable Me since she nicknamed the baby "Gru" for now.

I'm sick too my blood sugar is way too high and I'm having a terrible time getting it down.. Somebody come watch movies with me too.. and give me a massage.. And bring Lots. Of. Water. Cuz it makes me so thirsty!

I really hope your sister gets over the morning sickness soon and feels better!

Love Actually, no shame there. I also revert back to teenagerdom and watch 90s teen movies like 10 Things I Hate About You, Can't Hardly Wait, Clueless...you get it.

When Harry met Sally! And while you were sleeping. 2 of my all time faves.

Disney everything. It is actually impossible to feel sorry for yourself about how crappy you feel when singing along to "Gaston" or "A Whole New World".

Funny you say that ... We are headed your way! She lives in FW.

Oh, ditto Love Actually and Disney. And Pride and Prejudice. Funny story about Winnie the Pooh - I was home sick with a dread disease when I was in high school, and decided to watch Winnie the Pooh in between bouts of coughing up my lungs. When Gopher popped up and kept saying 'I'm not in the book', I FINALLY REALIZED that he's not saying he's not in the phone book - he's actually saying he's not in A.A. Milne's books. I laughed so hard I started coughing, again.

Love Actually, 13 Going on 30, Maid in Manhattan, Notting Hill

I watch Pride and Prejudice and Lord of the Rings.

I really want to watch Downtown Abbey. I know I'm way behind. I've never seen it. I'm ordering Season 1 so I can start soon!

Love Actually... it's the movie I watched the night before giving birth.  Holds all kinds of sentimental value.  But I'll go with some of my other favorites too:

The Bodyguard

Auntie Mame

Mahogany

Waiting to Exhale

Gloria (the original, NOT the one with Sharon Stone)

Bridget Jones's Diary

Dodgeball

Team America World Police

Now, Voyager

Cookie Pusher

The Princess Bride

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

jennyleigh16

Anything fluffy and feel-good that I've seen a hundred times so if I nod off I don't miss anything. 

loro929

Harry Potter Marathon

A Lot Like Love

Now and Then

Bridget Jones's Diary 1 and 2

The Holiday

are some of them. I am into either never-ending marathons or feel-good happy movies.

paperpusher

Pirates of the Caribbean movies
Harry Potter movies
Labyrinth
Secret Garden

Typically anything that I've seen a thousand times and wouldn't be sad if I dozed off and missed something.

I always like to watch Winnie the Pooh when I'm sick; there's lots to choose from http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Winnie_the_Pooh_films

Do it ASAP! Can't wait for FI to catch up on Season 3 so we can finally dive into Season 4. I like to wait for all episodes to be out so I can then binge watch them. As delicious as custard.

I love the 90's ones like everyone else- clueless, legally blonde

Will & Grace was my favorite show and I have all 8 seasons on dvd. So when I get a sick day or snow day I watch about one whole season of that. One time we had a blizzard for 2 days we couldn't leave the apartment (back when I lived with roommy not DH) and we watched 2 days straight of Nip/Tuck dvds.

ElcaB

The Emperor's New Groove. Gets me every time. 

And Love Actually. 

FutureMrsN3312

Mean Girls...that's my go to.

theartistformerlyknownas

Anything I've seen a zillion times so I don't miss anything if I fall asleep. Harry Potter, Mean Girls, He's Just Not That Into You, Dirty Dancing.

holyguacamole79

Thanks for the ideas!  Here's my list.  I hope she doesn't have all of them!

sarawifenow

Fried Green Tomatoes!

Also, A Christmas Story is my favorite movie of all time (I am ob-freaking-sessed with Christmas) so I watch that year-round.

flyingfoxes

I love that you have Die Hard in there!  Bruce Willis was so freaking smoking hot back then. 

flyingfoxes

Pretty Woman is one of my go-to faves...and Dirty Dancing.

I usually just put on whatever I can find. Which is why I keep my copy of Lilo and Stitch handy.

If I don't have it or another Disney movie nearby enough, I just turn on something. Princess Bride is also excellent.

hikebikebemerry

I totally second: the Princess Bride, Robin Hood Men in Tights, and Lord of the Rings.

Some of my other go tos are:

Young Frankenstein

The Emperor's New Groove

The Expendables
