Woke up with a sore throat so I'm having a sick day in bed – what movies should I watch? No trash and no classics (my partner and I are doing a Hitchcock/pre-1980 project so can't leave him out). Hoping this site can function like old Twitter in this moment - ThreadSky

Recently watched The Fall Guy on a plane and it was so fun. Lighthearted but well done - think it would be perfect for a sick day, it made great airplane viewing

Melancholia or The Virgin Suicides? Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you so much!

I don't know how broad your definition of trash is (some arched-eyebrowed men wearing blazers would put it in that category) but may I recommend Reality Bites

I sick day had a watch of The Holdovers which was ace, also highly recc Cousins which is a much underrated romcom from the 80s and fits this vibe. Also I know no classics but…The Leopard properly perfect re bed day I think

sarahmanavis.bsky.social•92 days ago

These are all the exact kind of thing I was looking for - tysm!!

eliseybell.bsky.social•92 days ago

Actively sad I’ve seen these movies and can’t do a sick day first watch, enjoy!

cmccu.bsky.social•92 days ago

Lord of the rings trilogy (extended editions) or Lost in translation

sarahmanavis.bsky.social•92 days ago

Lost In Translation is actually the exact kind of rec I was hoping for - thank you!

There's a nice (and IMO accurate) Guardian piece today on why Alita: Battle Angel is better than people usually think: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/nov/25/alita-battle-angel-movie

It's on D+ and Netflix atm so easy to watch.

Assuming Bluesky displays these the way I'm hoping, left side more upbeat and right side a bit more for a "having a cry" experience

marsito.bsky.social•92 days ago

feel better soon fam!

sarahmanavis.bsky.social•92 days ago

Omg thanks man ❤️❤️

This may not be your thing but it is an excellent way to cheer yourself up if you're feeling under the weather: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hundreds-Beavers-Mike-Cheslik/dp/B0D7JL238L/

Tbf I'm open to anything! Thank you for the suggestion

foundationsofthedigitalstate.com•92 days ago

all the Powell and Pressburfers should be on BBC iPlayer as they had a season last week

I Know Where I Am Going is a banger

jameschalmers.bsky.social•92 days ago

But not a classic? ;)

foundationsofthedigitalstate.com•92 days ago

eek yeah I guess not a useful suggestion then :-(

youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com•92 days ago

rewatched Darjeeling Limited last night and you know what: it's pretty good! I enjoyed it! though if you want something silly and fun then Do Revenge on Netflix is unexpectedly hysterical

gavin-bell.bsky.social•92 days ago

Joy Ride, aka Roadkill with Paul Walker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Ride_(2001_film)

robininatree.bsky.social•92 days ago

The Old Guard on Netflix.

jeremysteel.bsky.social•92 days ago

Pulp Fiction. I just watched it for the first time in a while - very fun!

sarahmanavis.bsky.social•92 days ago

Pulp Fiction is an embarrassing gap in my film viewing (literally never seen it) so this is a great rec - thank you so much!
