My boyfriend is going home for Christmas tomorrow until the 27th and I've chosen not to go for various reasons, so I'll be spending Crimbo on me tod this year :laughingsmiley:

 

I need SERIOUS filmage to keep me occupied so, wonderful people of TDN, I am asking for your help!

 

I'm mostly interested in watching these sorts of films;

 

Anime

Old black and white films (1930's-ish)

Christmas movies

Comedy

Animal movies (not ones that are too sad, I get pretty emotional XD)

Documentaries

Quirky movies (like Little Miss Sunshine/You Me and Everyone We Know etc.)

Musicals

French movies

 

I'd be grateful for anything you could suggest :D No thrillers or scary films though just cause I'll be at home by myself D: *hides*

 

 

<3 Thank you!!

 

 

P.S TV shows would also be great :)

Amelie is a quirky, comedic & French movie :)

 

That's all I can think of off the top of my head but it is a truly great movie!

les triplettes de belleville is a french movie that is definitely quirky, but its also super hilarious if your in the right mood haha

That's one of my most favourite films! Good suggestion :)

 

 

Thank you Behemoth I'll write that one down ^^

My absolute favorite movie is Annie Hall, which I think probably counts as pretty quirky. Some old black-and-white ones that I love: The Philadelphia Story, Mildred Pierce, The Lady Eve, 12 Angry Men. Oh, and To Kill a Mockingbird, though that one is obvious.

I recently watched I'm A Cyborg, But That's Ok and I loved it. It's a Korean movie that is extremely quirky, visually stunning, and even quite touching. If you've got Netflix, it's available to watch instantly! It's about a girl who believes she is a cyborg, so she is placed in a mental institution.

I'm not sure if Kiss Kiss Bang Bang counts as a Christmas film, but it's hilarious nonetheless.

The only french film I know (or watched) is Run Lola Run, which I found pretty good.

 

Comedy wise, so you have any fav comedy actors?

For anime I recommend xxxHolic or Mushi-Shi. Both are really good. And if you're into zombie stuff like I am; Shaun of the Dead. It's hilarious,plus zombies! (Basically a funny version/parody of Dawn of the Dead; which you may also like. Night of the Living Dead was a good black and white zombie film,I recommend it). The Killer Shrews is cool; but it's 1959.(Still B&W). Anything with Vincent Price as well.(Was a very good actor in all of the stuff he was in). The Walking Dead is a good show; it's currently on mid-season break though. Go to Netflix,see if you like it. It should be on instant stuff.

Thanks so much for the suggestions guys! ^_^ I'll deffo see if I can find any of these online somewhere :). I've seen Shaun of the Dead about a million times, LOVE that film :D :D

LESLIE NIELSON. He is the Don of all actors, comedy or not :P Umm, also Simon Pegg and Jim Carey of course. I cant really think of any more :S :S Do you know of any gems?

 

I haven't seen Run Lola Run but it's whatserface from The Fifth Element, right? *drools* XD

it's hard for me to choose 'favourites' I'll come back to this post!

off the top of my head, i quite liked Hot Fuzz, also Boxing day several movies coming out, i'm looking forward to Tintin and War Horse

 

christmas movies, home alone series is always a good one, also the santa clause series, fred claus was on last night,not sure if Elf is a good one since i haven't watched it. The Polar Express is a winter favourite (except its summer here..)

 

oldies, i love singing in the rain, my fair lady, breakfast at tiffanys, funny face (because fred astair is awesome)

 

and the muppet christmas!

 

i will have to go through my collection again.. head isn't reliable. :P
