I have found since dealing with sad, being isolated i find there isn't much to do to entertain my self, so i try to preoccupy my restless mind with the latest film releases.which have helped me relax my noisy, negative self talk,chatter.My favourite type of movies to watch are comedies "laughing is the best medicine".What are you're favourite films to watch?

I like all sorts of movies... the only type I don't really watch are those horror ones like Saw. I'm a bit too squeemish for those lol. I like sci fi horror though... like Predator, and Alien etc (and Alien vs Predator!)

I mostly watch comedy though. Also like a good thriller.

My favourite movie is probably Independence Day with Will Smith. But that's probably because I love the Air Force!

I'm in the middle of watching Night at the Museum 2 right now :) Will be checking out Land of the Lost tomorrow (Will Ferrel,) also.
