Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

    If I see the words 'logical necessity' or 'predicate' one more time, I might just kill myself

    Any suggestions?

    I've never actually seen this film but I hear it is, in fact, one of the most inspirational films, so I might watch this either today or tomorrow (one day before my exam).

    Little Miss Sunshine is an absolute gem.

    I also enjoyed Julie & Julia, the food in the film was mouthwatering. :sogood:

    Clueless is my #1 film for forgetting about serious stuff and relaxing.

    My list of films for stress/bad grades/general unhappiness is as follows:

    -Hairspray
    -High School Musical Trilogy
    -Bridget Jones's Diary 1/2
    -Zoolander
    -Sherlock Holmes 1/2 (If 2 has been released yet... not sure)
    -My Fair Lady
    -Lots of 40s/50s films, esp. film noirs
    -Sherlock episodes are as long as a film, so that counts
    -Persepolis
    -Most Studio Ghibli films (But if you're feeling extra sad, DO NOT watch My Neighbour Totoro or Spirited Away! Makes me cry every time)
    -Clueless (or most 90s comedy films for that matter)

    Those are all I can remember.

    Skeptical?

    Just watch anything directed by Hayao Miyazaki and there'll be no need to be skeptical :teehee:
    Oh I wasn't classing Studio Ghibli et al as animated. They're their own thing (and absolutely amazing).

    I was going to watch 'The Proposal' tonight, as it's on bbc iplayer.

    It's probably complete rubbish, but I just want something that you don't need to pay attention to...

    I recently saw Midnight in Paris, for Woody Allen, and it was really funny and enjoyable. It got us all out of the mood.

    Good luck with your exams.
