I got an amazon gift card for Christmas from my parents and since I have been spending a lot of time in bed...I want some new DVD's. I like light-hearted, funny movies. I would love to know what everyone's favorite movies are. Any ideas?

Kassandra

P.S. Hope everyone had a great Christmas! :)

Oh! Hi Kassandra. :) This is an easy one.......I LOVE fluffy European or Euro-ish love stories. Some to try:

~The Holiday (coooooooziest English cottage and a swap with a FAB house in LA)

~A Good Year (oh! a vineyard in the south of France....... *sigh*)

~Love Actually

~Somethings Gotta Give (okay...maybe this is geared for OLDER single women but it's one of my faves)

~Under the Tuscan Sun (glorious)

~Chocolat (more love in France)

I own these and watch them repeatedly.........I am sure I can think of more!

Anything Julia Roberts--

Pretty Woman

Nottinghill (LOVE this one)

Runaway Bride-kinda cute

Also 2nd the Holiday, really liked that

-just saw Waitress with Keri Russell-LOVED that too

Toilet humor--Superbad was super funny, but NOT for kids-or people who don't like significant toilet humor (Borat was too much for me)

My favorite of ALL TIME--from the time I was about 8--Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea It's about 6 hours of fabulous!!! I've seen it so many times and it NEVER gets old. I can't wait for another year or 2 to watch it with my DD. Hope this helps!

The first one is definitely one of my favorites. It is a real gem. The other two are very good. The second is good if you normally do not watch anime.

Amelie

Princess Mononoke

Chocolat

If you want something a bit more serious: Black Book

Don't bother with Pirates of the Caribbean: End of the World. It was a real disappointment.

I second the nomination for Superbad. But only if you don't mind lots of curse words and crude humor.

I, Robot was great.

Loved Ratatouille (apologize if that's spelled incorrectly)

National Treasure

Live Free or Die Hard was very good also. Definitely had a neat plot. I liked it a lot even though it is a stereotypical "guy" movie.

Another one which was neat and timeless for us Labyrinth with David Bowie. Fantasy like movie with the gnomes and gremlins but timeless.

We also like the Adam Sandler movies for a good laugh....I think I laugh the most at Big Daddy. It is my favorite Adam Sandler movie.

I watched Spanglish....but it was hard to see Adam Sandler not being funny. Good Movie though.

Here's a list of some light/entertaining/kept my interest movies

Amelie - great, cute!

Fever Pitch (if you want a light-hearted nothing heavy movie, it's cute - but predictable -- if you don't like Drew Barrymore, don't bother)

Breach (spy thriller - very good)

Sweet Home Alabama (cute love story)

Any newer animated movie (like Incredibles/Cars)

If you're going w/ Christmas theme --- Polar Express

Sideways (a little dry humor)

The Bourne Series (all three are edge of your seat good - but bloody!)

HA, yeah that's a great movie. I've seen it many times and it always makes me laugh.

Never Been Kissed is another good, lighthearted, funny movie.

Adventures in Babysitting and Summer School are two late 80's movies that are rather simple but funny and enjoyable and the kind of movies you can watch many times.

      Mallorca Guide

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a microbiologist. I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...
