bunny Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 rich's list is mine too - how could I forget Airplane!? "surely you don't expect me to land this plane" "I do...and don't call me Shirley" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Not sure I can add any movies right now. My mind sometimes just comes up a blank. I do remember laughing like crazy at the Airplane movies. BUT I do want to tell you I think you are such a very neat, wonderful daughter. You are so involved in her care and recovery. Just read your other post asking for suggestions on non traditional treatments. Don't have anything to offer there either. Maybe just lots af liquids. I am sure you probably saw the posts by Don in SCLC on things he did. Will be thinking of you and watching for your posts. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogfam Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 You've GOT to watch What About Bob? I just love that movie, it's hilarious! love bill murray! We just watched Napoleon Dynamite last week and laughed our heads off! but I think you have to have just the 'right sense of humor' for that one. Not everyone gets it. My parents watched it, and while they occasionaly laughed.... we just couldn't STOP laughing. And now, we can't stop quoting the movie lines! have an absolutely WONDERFUL weekend with Mom. and don't forget to tell us what you watch!

kimblanchard Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hard to believe your mom is my age...My kids are only 4 and 6...I don't feel old enough to have children your age!!! Anyhow, My favorite funny movies are... City Slickers ( Billy Crystal ) Get Shorty ( John Travolta ) Planes trains and automobiles (Steve Martin ) But I would also vote for renting like a series, you know how they rent like the whole season of friends, Seinfeld. Or Comedy specials, one of my favorites is Ellen Degeneres. Good Luck and Have Fun!!!! Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eppie Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I loved Napoleon Dynamite. Mom and I watched Connie and Carla" Dad and I watched "Cheech and chong's Up in Smoke" just for old times sake. Movies are personal. Memories have power. Make them last. Eppie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggiesmom Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Yeah, City Slickers is great. Laugh ALOT there. Call me silly, but i loved Garfield, the Movie. That was really cute. And also SHRECK. Love the donkey (Eddie Murphy). Give Mom a hug for me and let here read my bio. I have the same diagnosis as she and I'm 3 1/2 hear SURVIVOR. She CAN do it. Keep laughing - it WORKS.

JennyS Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 My mind has gone blank right now but I loved "Get Shorty" and my favourite one was the one that Adam Sandler played the golfer....my mum doesn't really get into funny movies but she loved this one...Maybe someone else will be able to remember the name Take care and hope you have a great night Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Ann Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 My mother's favorite movie was Fried Green Tomatoes. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Has your mom seen Meet the Fockers ? I have to tell you that I laughed out loud while watching this movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tami Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Jenny... the golfer movie is "Happy Gilmore" if you like Adam Sandler that's a classic. My 14yr old has watched it about 100 times it seems. I loved Napoleon Dynamite I thought it was the funniest thing. My husband didn't get it at all. My kids and I are constantly quoting the movie. As far as funny goes... my al time favorite is steve martin's "The Jerk" it's so stupid it's funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
