Comfort movies


My friend David Brake has inspired me to create my own Frappr! map. I'll echo what David posted in his blog:


"Just for fun and to give me an idea of who visits my site, I have put up a Frappr! map for this blog which I encourage you to visit and add yourself to (no registration required). Basically all this is is a really easy to use way of attaching a short note about yourself (and optional picture) to a map of the world."


If you feel uncomfortable about using your real name, a nickname will do. I've added my map link to the navigation bar on the left.

Still sick. Slept most of yesterday. Will likely sleep most of today. I find that the first two days pretty much decide which way a cold is going to go. This one started in my chest and is trying to make up its mind whether or not to turn into an ugly cough or not. Sadly, I have to opt out of seeing "Rent" with Allison and Jodi tonight.

:-(

Went to the Rogers Video and borrowed a bunch of comfort movies (6 for $9.99), or what I hope will be comfort movies:

Footloose (never seen it, figured it's about time)
Fried Green Tomatoes (never seen it)
All That Jazz (never seen it)
The Ghost And Mrs. Muir (liked the book, never saw this movie version with Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney)
The Door In The Floor (could be very bad, but I'm curious)
My Fair Lady (love this movie, was inspired by Cacie's LJ to rent it)

SURVEY: What are your favourite comfort movies?

Some of my favourites:

Chocolat
Babette's Feast
Tampopo
Tortilla Soup
Sleepless in Seattle
Sound of Music
Titanic
Wizard of Oz
Breakfast Club
My Fair Lady
Cinderella (Rogers & Hammerstein)
Star Wars (the first one)
Wrath of Khan
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Singing' in the Rain

Argh. I know I'm forgetting a ton.

Skimper experiment update: I've removed Skimper from my left-hand navigation bar, but it remains #3 in Google search results. My LJ entry is #4 (likely because of the comments), and my Flickr Skimper image is #7.
