Paranoid Android Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I've spent the whole day in bed and just finally mustered the energy to nip down to the shop and buy some junk food, now I need a film to watch. I want to watch something I've not seen before but wont test my brain too much. For some reason the few I have downloaded that I've not seen are all foreign with subtitles, certainly not what I'm after right now. I will choose one film from any responses I get in the next half an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girl anachronism Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Another vote for Riding Giants. Some other nice "switch off and veg out films" I like are; Waitress, Sideways and Singles. Also, The Illusionist is a great lazy Sunday film. No dialogue to follow, just enjoy the fantastic animation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Riding Giants it is.I will probably have to consult this thread again very soon so some of the other recs may get watched too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Old School.Riding Giants is awesome, but it's not a hangover film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Riding Giants was good. Very interesting watch. It perhaps doesn't exactly fit the sunday/hangover criteria but it wasn't unsuitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Watch Big Wednesday next time. That definitely fits lazy sunday surf movie criteria 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Riding Giants was good. Very interesting watch. It perhaps doesn't exactly fit the sunday/hangover criteria but it wasn't unsuitable.Glad you liked it.I totally think it's the ultimate hangover/illness film though. Draws you in, captivating and soothing in perfect measures. It was the only thing I could tolerate when I had some seriously shit flu a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I like to spend hungover days watching TV shows. I watched a good few episodes of Season 2 of Mad Men yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Seconded. I tend to watch TV over films when I feel a little pukey. Usually TV shows I have no interest in, like all the guff PickTV shows on a sunday. Australian Border Patrol is ace. They are so mental down there. This one guy had a sandwich in his hand luggage, and they confiscated it, and lectured him as if it was a bomb, or some sort of cannister full of a deadly contageous virus. It was a cheese sandwich. They threatened to fine him like $800AUD but they let him off in the end. Another time some Japanese boy got sent home because when questioned "Why have you come to Australia?" he couldn't answer, because he didn't speak English. That must mean is there to work illegally and take a giant shit on their economy by sending all his earnings home, to a family of terrorists, or something.Brilliant hangover viewing, if you like being angry when you're hungover. I do. Folk say carbs and water are the best remedy. Nah. It's rage! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think TV is right for the early phases of a hangover day. However come that time later on at night when I start feeling a bit odd about not having left the house or maybe even spoken to anyone since i got up and although it may be late I wont be going to sleep because I still only woke up 6 hours ago, then a film seems to fit the bill. Fwiw I had already watched 3 or 4 episodes of The Shield that day before I wanted a film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 'Eraserhead' must be one of the least easy watches with a hangover ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I watched Bad Santa with some hungover friends yesterday. I'd not seen it before but it was a good Sunday watch at this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
