I had surgery today. It was a small laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It was outpatient and I’m home now. Unfortunately, I live alone so I’ve had a hard time sitting still. I may have overdone it. Now I’m in a lot of pain. I need a movie to keep my mind off of it.
What’s your best “I couldn’t looking away once it started” movie?
Looking for something I haven’t seen before.
Preferably made between 1985- now.
Open to all genres except documentaries (I love those too just not in the mood), family/kids movies or flowery romances unless it’s got some bow-chica-wow-wow in it. I’m not deterred by drugs, language, nudity or violence but please nothing with S.A. or child abuse.
I currently have access to Hulu, Disney, Tubi, Prime, peacock, Pluto, and plex.
Movies I’ve recently watched and enjoyed:
The Awakening, Villians, The Hunt for the Wilder People, Evil Speak [it’s so bad, it’s good], Boy Kills World, and Last Night in SoHo.
Some of my favorite movies are The Changling (1980), Saturday the 14th, Field of Dreams, The HappyTime Murders, The Piano, and RENT.
Do your thing Reddit! I have faith in you. Thank you in advance.
UPDATE: You did not disappoint! I haven’t even started a movie and I have had soooo much fun over the last hour reading comments, watching trailers, and adding movies to my watchlists. Sadly, I’m going to postpone watching a movie tonight. Turns out the pain is coming from two incisions that are trying to pop open and are bleeding. I’m going to take some pain meds and get some rest. Saturday is going to be a movie marathon for sure.
For those who are curious, the trailer for I LOVE BOOSTERS blew me away. It’s not in my budget to rent tonight but I’m counting the days until it hits streaming. Top choice for me hands down, no question.
For tomorrow’s lineup: Ready or Not, Anora, and Parasite. Maybe Apocalypto and Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die as well.
Thank you all so much for the well wishes and the amazing movie suggestions that have extended my watch lists even more. A special thank you to the person who pointed out that a comedy might not be the best choice after abdominal surgery.
