When I need to laugh I watch:
- Sandra Bullock: Among my favorites are While You Were Sleeping and the Miss Congeniality movies. I'd like to add The Heat to my video library because I laughed myself silly when I saw it.
- Meg Ryan: French Kiss (with Kevin Kline) and Kate & Leopold (with Hugh Jackman)
- Drew Barrymore: Wedding Singer (with Adam Sandler) and Music & Lyrics (with Hugh Grant).
If I need to laugh and cry:
- PS I Love You (Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler)
- Hope Floats (Sandra Bullock, Harry Connick, Jr)
- Stepmom (Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon)
- Steel Magnolias (Julia Roberts, Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton) switches from laughter to tears and back to laughter so swiftly I can barely catch my breath.
And if I just need to be swept away by the power of love in a historical background:
- Titanic (Kate Winslet, Leonardo diCaprio)
- Last of the Mohicans (Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeline Stowe)
- Beauty & the Beast (Disney)

How about you? What are you go-to movies for a rainy day?

A really old western called Will Penny. Love that one.
I haven't heard of Will Penny. Will have to check it out. Thanks, D'Ann.
Great post, Penny.
My go to movies are:
The Hangover (1)
Ice Age
The Ugly Truth
Hope Floats
Thor
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is one of my favorites. That or Casablanca. Fun Post!
Thanks, Louise! I just watched Hope Floats yesterday, though it was more of a sick day than a rainy day. I've seen a couple on your list and will have to check out the rest. My dh really likes one of the Ice Age characters - the one always chasing the nut.
Ilona, I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never watched Casablanca. Sounds almost sacrilegious, doesn't it? I shall have to remedy that. I attended an advanced plotting workshop several years ago at an RWA National conference that used Casablanca to explain the plotting method. I was still a newbie writer (though I still struggle with plotting), so most of it went right over my head. [Whoooosh!] I wonder if I'd understood more of it I'd seen the movie first?
