Come-down movies
So you partied harder than you should have last night, and you're suffering for it now. You probably know the feeling: you're too blank and weak to do anything but sit and stare at something on a screen, because even the thought of music shreds your nerves into rags. What do you pick off the DVD shelf when you feel like this?
Come-down movies have a very specific set of criteria. They need to be completely unchallenging, so anything too clever is a no-no, but although they're often movies you wouldn't waste your time with on a good day they can't be so crappy as to be depressing - because, let's face it, you're already a stone's throw away from burying your head in your hands and remaining in tha position for several hours.
These are some of mine:
The Breakfast Club
Harvey
Groundhog Day
Withnail & I
Commando
Ghost Town
