My go to movie when my kids are being little bums is Toy Story. If they are getting really crazy I just throw it in and instantly they sit down and watch. That movie keeps me sane, can't wait for part 3.

Great thread

-feeling romance?

Fried Green Tomatoes (also makes me want food) or Imagine Me & You

-in the craving for some killing?

I don't crave killings, but I do love horror. It changes all the time so probably the Evil Deads, if I want a laugh too I go for Leslie Vernon or The Cottage (well I did last year)

-want to see guns, bombs, explosions?

Not something I'm fussed about.

-looking for something out of this world?

Sci-fi or fantasty I guess, Galaxy Quest for a laugh

-are wanting to feel safe in that childhood film?

Labyrinth/Dark Crystal/Princess Bride/The Little Mermaid/Stand By Me

-having a bad day?

House of Sand and Fog (I dunno why, but it cheers me up, probably the whole.. at least my life's not that bad)

L.A. Confidential I can watch any time, so I guess that would be mine.

I don't recall craving for some killing, or wanting to feel safe in that childhood film, but
my alltime favorite films, especially West Side Story, which, for me, is the tops, are movies that I go to see no matter what.

Several months ago, when I was in sort of a dippy mood, I rented the DVD version of the film Billy Jack for a week, and watched in in the DVD player that's built into my computer.
