QotW: My Go-To Movie
What's your "go-to" movie? The one you watch when you need to just get away from it all?

About A Boy is a good one, and The Lord of the Rings is like comfort food at this point. Unless, of course, I'm moody and then it makes me emotional.
I usually don't go to a movie, though. It takes too much commitment. TV is perfect to "get away from it all". Scrubs makes me happy, Law & Order is like chicken soup when you're sick, and House...well, House has it all, for me.
Speaking of House, can we talk about how awesome this week's episode was?? Good heavens.

Missed House this week. The new Monday slot has me all ferklempt.
As for escapist films, TLotR for me too. I get emotional as well, but those elephant creatures more than make up for it. Too, too cool.
Old movies are great. This isn't old on a grand scale, but the roomie and I just watched The Sound of Music. What a great movie. Very cheerful, except for the whole Nazi thing.
Have you seen the short video on Fox's website about the directing of Monday's episode? It's really, really cool. They talk some about the stunts used for the bus scene. I'm not usually into that stuff, but it was really interesting and impressive.
About a Boy is a great go-to movie. Actually I realized over the weekend how ridiculously fond I am of Hugh Grant in certain things. Music & Lyrics was in the cheapo-DVD rack at Target and I snapped it up immediately. Usually I have nothing to do with romantic comedies but certain ones containing Hugh Grant are apparently irresistible to me. I have no idea why. But About a Boy, Love Actually, and now Music & Lyrics are all very much go-to movies for me.
