What movies do you like to watch when you're feeling a little depressed?

[SingleAloneForever]

Well this probably isn't the manliest thing to say, but I've got a thing for chick flicks.

Whenever I am feeling a little depressed, or down I like nothing better than to throw on a chick flick, for some reason it helps to make me feel better. I think it offers me a little escapism - I don't know it's hard to describe.

Of course what will happen when I watch them, is since I'm so sensitive and emotional, I'm guaranteed to break down and shed a number of tears.

Last one I've seen recently is How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, and I enjoyed that one enough, don't think I cried during that one, though.

Love Actually would have to be one my personal favourites. It had me bawling in certain scenes.

So what about you others? What sort of movies do you love throwing in, to try and perk you up a bit?

P.S. Can somebody recommend a few decent chick flicks? I've been meaning to watch the notebook, must do that soon.

Nothing wrong with men who are in touch with their sensitive side.

Some of my favorite "chick flick" movies to watch:
Benny & Joon
Somewhere in Time
Hope Floats
Pride & Prejudice
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Pretty Woman
A Walk to Remember
Dirty Dancing

You should definitely watch The Notebook. It's really good but do have tissues handy.

Two chick flicks I always liked were Serendipity and Say Anything... John Cusack was great in those roles.

Before sunrise and before sunset are great.if you r gonna watch them do it with this order cause the second one is a sequel

 

[Generical]

mainly turn to stand up stuff or just anything funny......pride and prejudice was good though especially Donald Sutherland....he's so coool heh

I just have the one. Don’t watch many movies lately. Feel just about depressed watching any, apart from this.

You’ve Got Mail: I’ve seen this movie hundreds of times. Makes me laugh and smile.

Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory, both the original and the newer Johnny Depp version. Great escapism

I really liked Legally Blond, as well as white chicks- very funny movie.


Pretty woman- It was after I watched this movie that I liked Richard Gere.
