  2. Frances, with Jessica Lange. Most depressing movie ever. Guaranteed to make me feel better about my life every time.

  3. Elizabethtown if I want to wallow. Or Auntie Mame if I want to snap out of it :)

  4. As in, to get me in a better mood? Talladega Nights. Pretty much anything with Will Ferrell. Clueless gets me in a good mood too. So does Speed. Because Keanu. ♡

  5. Young Frankenstein followed by Blazing Saddles. Mel Brooks is the cure.

  6. Urban Cowboy! It's my go to and I am not really sure as to why. Lol. It's probably more like comfort food for me.

  7. Under the Tuscan Sun and While You Were Sleeping. Years ago, when I was in a funk, I put on the (original) Star Wars trilogy - a guaranteed way to feel better.

  8. 'Some Like it Hot' with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Curtis was such a beauty. A terrible husband and father and a hopelessly insecure human being, but a beauty.

    I also enjoy 'The Sweet Smell of Success' with Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster.

    Zoolander is also a good way to cheer up.

  9. Monty Python or Oh Brother...mainly cuz that's all I got aside from Scott Pilgrim..Love that one too.

  10. While You Were Sleeping is such a great movie! My other favorite Bill!

    Raising Arizona or pretty much any Cohen movie. I also like the plane movie with Dreyfuss and Holly and my favorite John Goodwin - Always - I love that movie. For silly fun, I like the movie Twister (my other Bill), esp with Philip Seymour Hoffman doing a Jack Black and the Dread Pirate Roberts being a douchetastic weather guy. And Aunt Meg!

  11. American Dreamer. Perfect movie when I'm trying to block out reality.

    1. American Dreamer is a good one too. I've watched that a million times. All of Me with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlinson is another great comedy from the late 70's.

  13. Just a spoonful of sugar..... Mary Poppins is great fun still.

    A friend says Joan Crawford movies are great for when you're sick. There's what she calls that Crawford Moment. Rocked by adversity, she throws her shoulder pads back, lifts her chin, and gives Adversity a double-barreled unload of EFF YOU.

    I could see how that would work.

    Love the druggie aspects of Poppins.... jumping into the chalk drawings, stoner tea while loving to laugh.

    1. @Queen Anne Guido: Haha, your friend is spot on re the Crawford Moment. No one does it better than Joan. :-)

    2. Queen and blue- oh yeah. Who can forget that scene in mommy dearest, after pepsi president husband alfred steele dies, and they call a board meeting to lind of ease her out. Everyone all dressed up, she's the only woman there, and its a big cushy room, very disyingushed. They go on and on about how she probably wants to back out of business, should just sign everything over to them. She fixed them a look and finally says," Dont fuck with me boys, this is not my first rodeo!" Scared and shocked 'em she did. Great scene. ( i know it was dunaway, but based on truth)

  14. An Affair To Remember if I want a good cry.

    All About Eve if I don't.

    I love comedies in general, so it's hard to pick just one. Anything that makes me laugh hard enough to forget.

  20. After my divorce, I went out and stocked up on comedies. I got a large number of different SNL Best of DVDs. I also have a bunch of Ben Stiller movies. He might be an angry man in real life but I love most of his movies. I also have his TV comedy series on dvd.

  21. When Harry met Sally, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Waking Ned Devine - watching a nude senior riding a motorcycle cracks me up every time.

  22. Gotta be funny, to force me to laugh..Marx bros, early woody Allen, or screwball comedy like bringing up baby.

    1. Kelli I just watched "Bringing Up Baby" and KH drove me absolutely crazy. I was ready to throttle her. She was too nuts to fall in love with IMO. I know it's a classic but goddamn it was too much.

      Delete
    2. Fave comedy if alll time... Bringing uo baby.

      -Young lady what r u doing?
      -Im singing to my leopatd on your roof.

      She is quite literally in a convulsing state if ecstasy when she proclaims that Cary G does love her.

      Given tgat KH wss no ditz and CG was no bespectabled dullwad, i cant help but admire their performances.

      Its fanciful. Its light. Taint much more than that and some confusion over matching leopards.

      Top spot.
