"Benzo-safe" movies to watch during withdrawal -- Now Partially Indexed (Pg. 1)

[[Al...]]

Hey lptc01, Vertigo and Keryn,

 

Hope all is well with you guys. Thanks for the suggestions.

 

Yep, several people have suggested What about Bob?  I never saw it, 'cause a former roommate I didn't like recommended it. Silly reason, but true.

 

Numb sounds pretty hard-core on the psyche... but sounds pretty darned interesting.

 

Hey the Index (on pg 1) is coming along. We've got about 130-some recommendations consolidated there now.

[[le...]]

Come on guys...The Notebook was a good movie...where are your romantic hearts???

 

Albie...What About Bob is just a classic!  I am not one of those who can watch a movie over and over.  But for some reason, this one makes me laugh every time!

 

Vertigo, I am going to put the Sunrise and Sunset movies on my queue.  I have been intrigued by reading the synopsis of each one...just needed someone I trust to give them a thumbs up!

 

Thank you, Albie, for continuing to work on this!

I agree, the Notebook was a good movie.

Hey Leena,

 

You're surely welcome. Okay What About Bob? is going in my Netflix queue.

 

And I also put Before Sunrise and Before Sunset in my queue a couple days ago. Thanks, Vertigo!

 

Having these recommendations is working out great.

Keryn.

 

Speaking of chick-flicks, I really liked Bridget Jones' Diary. I find something very charming about Renee Zellweger.

Jodie Foster is charming

speaking of renee, i liked 'miss potter'. not sure if it's on the list already.

my oh my albee, this thread is popular, partly because it has been left in prime spot!!

[[Mi...]]

This is such a great thread, Albie!

 

I've moved it to the Accentuate the Positive board (even though Pam jokingly said she would not move it) because, as you said in your first post, it really does not belong in the General Withdrawal thread.  Moving it to the ATP board will make it accessable for those looking around for something to read or do that is positive and uplifting.

 

What a great job you did of indexing all the movies -  that must have been quite a chore  

 

I'm going to rent a couple for next weekend. I'll post back to let you know which ones and give them my "benzo withdrawal movie rating"

 

Hmmm....may need to start an official rating system for these movies

I love both of these movies!!!!

Hi Keryn, Violet, Missy & Bevoir,

 

Hope everybody's doing well today.

 

I'll try to get to some more indexing today. I believe your recommendations are up next, Bevoir.

 

Thanks much for your recommendations and support!

Hey Albie, I like your new home!    Great job by the way of rallying your Buddies and coming up with such a positive subject!

Hey Albie.  Great job.  I would put a disclaimer on "the Bourne" trilogy like you did some of the other movies.  I really enjoyed the Bourne movies but they have a lot of violence and fast chase and fighting scenes.  Not sure I'd really recommend as "benzo safe".  I just found them entertaining, but not something many would be able to relax by .

Thanks Pamster, Keryn and Vertigo,

 

Pamster, I guess this is home. We'll roll with it. 

 

Keryn,

That's great. I look forward to seeing your latest additions.

 

Vertigo,

Yep, I wondered if I should disclaim the Bourne movies. I will go ahead and do that. Thanks for suggesting.

 

Hope all is going well with you all,

 

P.S. I'm back to biking a bit and my back is tolerating it.    I'll say no more, lest I jinx it. 

 

Best wishes,

 

Albie

Bourne + Matt Damon = Yummy    I wish there were a fourth, he didn't die in the third one, I saw his leg kick.  Uh oh, spoiler alert.

I just watched a funny movie from 1965 called Cat Ballou.  If they had not shown Lee Marvin's character drinking whiskey, I would have thought he and his horse were on benzos

Hi Missy,

 

This was one of my Classics recommendations:

 

Cat Ballou (1965) Comedy/Western -- BB recommendation from: Albie. 100% Positive Reviews. Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin, Michael Callan, Dwayne Hickman. A young woman returning to her Wyoming town finds her father murdered because he refused to sell his ranch. To enact revenge she enlists the help of a sharpshooting gunslinger.

 

Not many people have heard of this movie, but it's really pretty good. Lee Marvin is awesome in it.

According to TCM, Lee Marvin won an Oscar for his performance.  In his acceptance speech, he said he wanted to share the Oscar with the horse.
