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.

    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.

    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".

    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... 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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    Edit: Pretending to understand grammar.
