What's your poorly film?

1/11/2012

 
You know what I mean, the go to film when you're ill and you want to escape from the world and lose yourself in someone else's life. I've come down with a cold and I'm feeling dreadful. Since there's very little I can do other than dose up with vitamins and echinacea, I'm just waiting for it to go away.

My go to film has to be The Lake House, with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.I watched it about four years ago when I was ill and now it's the film I get out when I'm feeling poorly and want to feel cosy and cheered up. If you haven't seen it, then I really recommend it, it's a proper girlie romance, perfect for cuddling up under a blanket with a hot chocolate and a box of tissues. I won't spoil the end; but put it this way I hate sad films and would never recommend one!

She now writes about people who want to break free from the constraints of their lives, a subject she's deeply familiar with.

Hey, I've just found your blog and I love it! Bizarrely, I always watch 127 hours when I'm feeling really bad though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to everyone for obvious reasons but I love(d) to rock climb and the film never fails to put things into perspective for me!

Hi Ziggy,

I'm so pleased you like the blog and that you found it! I'm impressed by your poorly film; but it would freak me out! I'd feel much worse if I was watching it - I'm a total wimp and avoid anything scary or gory. I can imagine how it must be inspiring though, overcoming the odds and all. Lets face it, if a guy can survive that then there's nothing you can't get through!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope to hear from you again soon. :)
