Yikes, sorry about the formatting at R7: Look Who's Talking........Barbershop......... Riding in Cars With Boys.....All I Wanna Do

Another vote each for 84 Charing Cross Road and The Thrill of It All.

Also, Auntie Mame, Foul Play, Pillow Talk, Rear Window and Somewhere in Time.

"The Princess Bride" wins this thread.

The Fabulous Baker Boys

Crossing Delancey

I dont want to watch cheesy romcoms on a rainy day. Actually, on any day do I choose those...although there are exceptions. Atmospheric thrillers or horror is what I like on those days. The Strangers comes to mind. Maybe classic film noir too like Strangers on a Train or Double Indemnity.

Sea of Love

The Conversation. North By Northwest. Howards End. Amelie. The September Issue. The Royal Tenenbaums. Crimes And Misdemeanors.

Looking forward to the darker, cooler, rainier days. That is, until the blues really set in, and then I'll have to switch over to The Great Courses and unfamiliar documentaries. It seems that the older I get, the more I need to intentionally pull myself out of the familiar ennui, and for that I have better luck in the non-fiction section.

Absolutely yes to 84 Charing Cross Rd and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. I'll point them out again to remind others of how good they are.

I'm so proud that we got to 27 replies and nobody mentioned Dawsons 50 Load Weekend. It shows progress.

If all that rain puts you in the mood for an erotic period drama, Black Narcissus features nuns going crazy with desire.

I don't do this schmaltz.

Rainy or sick days are when I like to snuggle in for a nice horror flick, especially of the Gothic variety. I suggest Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Haunting, Psycho, Carnival of Souls, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Sixth Sense, Halloween, The Shining, The Thing, The Boy ...

But it would also be a good time to binge-watch and immersive fantasy epic like The Lord of the Rings.

Rebecca

While You Were Sleeping, Notting Hill, Runaway Bride, Boys on the Side. An American President, Enchanted April. Torn Curtain.

Lost In Translation

Any Wong Kar Wai film

We owned about three or four movies when I was teen. Oddly Sandra Bullock starred in nearly all of them. I still can watch Hope Floats, While You Were Sleeping, and A Time to Kill anytime. It's weird. Only WYWS is any good (for a mid 90s romcom), but it's nostalgia I guess.

The Shining

Any Meg Ryan movie.

I like discovering old movies I've never heard of before on Youtube. You watch one and then find a bunch more in the related videos. Two I enjoyed recently were "Woman On The Run" a film noir with a snarky Ann Sheridan trying to protect her husband who's witnessed a mob murder, and "Pinky" a Southern drama about a mixed race woman featuring Ethel Waters and Ethel Barrymore.

^Thanks! I adore Ann Sheridan’
