Relating to Shorty Mama's thread;
Last night I watched Legally Blonde with my housemate - we were both feeling pooey and hungover and good old Reese Witherspoon really cheered us up :D I love that film.
Other movies I like on a rainy day are Some Like it Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Tangled, Life As We Know It... basically anything a bit girly :bigsmile:
What movies are your go to favs for a rainy day indoors?
Marathons consisting of Wes Anderson Films, LotR or Harry Potter.
Ditto LotR.
Girl, Interrupted
Titanic
Devil Wears Prada
Rain Man
The Breakfast Club and/or the original Star Wars trilogy.
Porn.
Uh.
Also, Lord of the Rings is pretty much my go-to movie.
I like movies from the 80s. They just have this feel to them. Some kind of atmosphere and look I really like. Science Fiction and Fantasy movies from that decade especially tend to have a distinct feel, I think.
But yeah, some good 80s flicks are e.g. stuff like Blade Runner, RoboCop, Heathers, The Labyrinth, Ghostbusters, Breakfast Club, The Neverending Story, Gremlins etc. etc. etc. There are loads!
I loooooove Heathers. I want to kiss you on the mouth for naming all those movies.
Attack the Block
Total Recall (the Arnold one)
Away We Go
Balto
Animated Hobbit
Flight of Dragons
The last three have been my go to rainy day films ever since I was a kid.
Hard Rain.
I like actiony or thinky movies. I do not like chicky movies. If I'm having a rainy day marathon, it's probably Die Hard, bad zombie movies or Kevin Smith movies.
Johnny Mnemonic
Big Trouble In Little China
Dark City
Star Wars
LOTR is for marathons - one is upcoming as I just got the 1080p extended eds and neeeeed to have a screening on the projector, but gotta get a dark curtain so I can run all day.
I like trilogies! Just for example:
- Indiana Jones trilogy;
- Star Wars saga;
- Lord of the Rings trilogy; and
- Beverly Hills Cop trilogy.
I also like animated films from Pixar, Disney and Dreamworks, as well as comedies from the 90's and early 2000's.
I could watch these movies all day when I get free time and need to stay inside. :)
The Perfect Storm
Chick flicks.
Any movie will do, actually. I don't think there's any particular genre that fits a rainy day, for me personally.
It's raining outside! The smurf are you people doing wasting time inside watching movies? That's for when the suns out.
That. Or The Lion King.Quote:

Not a rainy day movie, but whenever I'm sick and can't sleep I always watch Goodfellas. :D
