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 Wizard of Oz

Yours Mine and Ours

Any of the American Pie movies

Old School

Great! Keep 'em coming!!! :) :) :) :) :)

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.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Another Funny Movie we always like

Mean Girls

Dickey Roberts former childhood star.

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

Lisa Mentor

A few of my favorites:

Farris Bueller's Day Off

Hunt for Red Octobber

ET

cruelshoes Enthusiast

Treat yourself to great humor from bygone days. Here are my favorite movies of all time, in no particular order.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Young Frankenstein

Blazing Saddles

Clue

Arsenic and Old Lace

Anything Abbot and Costello

My Fair Lady

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

The Monty Python movies are funny too.

Offthegrid Explorer

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.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

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.

amybeth Enthusiast

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.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior? 
    • trents
      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
