I have a minging cold and am queueing up movies for the next few days. What do you watch when you're under the weather?

I’m partial to the 2005 version which I’m currently watching from my sick-sofa. But will likely watch the 1995 version next

Jersey Shore. I could watch it every day of my life and not get tired of it.

For movies it's horror. Pretty much any horror. For TV its malcolm in the middle or buffy.

Robin Hood 2006. It has just enough action but not too much. It is pretty corny though. Sharpe is also a great one!

The IT crowd, I’ve watched it so many times now. Also weirdly, Horrible Histories, don’t ask me why, I’m 30 and I still enjoy it, I have no shame

I can't rewatch things unless it's been a good 10 years since I've seen them, but there are 2 exceptions. Keeping up appearances Bob Mortimer's appearances on WILTY. No matter how many times I watch them, I can't help but believe he was popped in an eggy bath.
