I'm bored/crippled and need movie recs

[Foosimoo]

I hope this thread is in the right place/worth making. I'm having surgery in 4 days and won't be able to move much for a couple of weeks. :-(

Movies that I like:
A Beautiful Mind
Donnie Darko
Fight Club
Garden State

[Ailite]

Memento
Zodiac
The Big Lebowski
American Beauty

Plenty more where that came from, good luck with the surgery.

when you're on painkillers and confined to your bed I would not watch a movie like Donnie Darko, since those movies tend to need you to be fully awake or your dreams will be nightmares
I'd suggest a comedy

[jbaseball44]

Trainspotting, American Beauty, Seven, Pulp Fiction, There Will Be Blood, Layer Cake, A Clockwork Orange, Batman Begins, American Psycho, Jackie Brown

if you want more or want a different kind of movie let me know.

Haha, true....I'm not the biggest comedy fan but I'll find some.

it doesn't need to be completely mindless, just nothing to weird or complex, even something like sideways would work
I once saw apocalypse now while half asleep and it was made it even weirder

[mat1419]

ever see adaptation? i love that movie.

[colorlesscliche]

Matt!? You still post here?

[mat1419]

ha, from time to time. i rock the sports forum and venture in here once in awhile...never touch the general or anything though.

[Foosimoo]

I bring out the infrequent posters, duh.

[a speedo model]

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Intermission
Children of Men
Mozart and the Whale
Sunshine

all are fantastic.

[stayillogical]

Little Miss Sunshine
Dogma
Spirited Away
Lars and the Real Girl

Some funny ones off the top of my head that might help you feel better. G'luck.

[bowl of oranges]

Lost In Translation

[Foosimoo]

Thanks for the recs so far. :-)

good taste. anything by miyazaki is gold. if you're crippled why not try to catch up on some tv? the sopranos is all on dvd, as are many other great shows.

[AShannon04]

TV boxsets, for sure. Take this time to get into shows you've always heard good things about, but never checked out. Some of my favorites are:

Lost
Arrested Development
The Office

Kind of obvious choices, but all those are fairly short and you can completely catch up in less than a week.

i was going to suggest those, along with weeds and the wire

[AShannon04]

Weeds is another great one. Forgot about that. I still need to see Season 3.

[drudo182]

Just get Friday Night Lights season one and two.

Oh, and LOST.

[summer skin]

August Underground's Mordum.


Trust me...

[Brokenhill]

If you haven't seen this...then it's essential to watch.

...but you probably have

[nikeskate875]

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
United States of Leland
Green Street Hooligans
Almost Famous

[musicfiend]

If you want TV show, try Dexter and Huff. Showtime has the best series.

If only they wouldn't cancel half if them prematurely. ie Huff and Dead Like Me. I feared that Weeds would have been cancelled long ago.

[Foosimoo]

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuump

I'm taking note of all of these so far, thanks a lot guys!

[terrycw89]

I would definitely recommend grabbing some TV series. I'd suggest watching Six Feet Under and/or Veronica Mars if you haven't already.
