Movies to Fall Asleep To . . .

Tags: 
  • Here are some great films to put on after a long night to help you slip fitlessly into a gentle sleep (in no particular order). Note: For Foreign Films it helps to turn the subtitles off. I'm also looking for some heavy commenting here, so don't be afraid.
  • Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Special Extended Edition Disc 1)
  • Spirited Away
  • The Thin Red Line
  • Gattaca
  • Back to the Future Part II
  • Koyaanisquatsi
  • Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
  • Amelie

So does this mean you find these movies dull, or strangely soothing?

irrepressibly soothing, actually.

Funny, I've never really fallen asleep to movies (well, except for bad ones, unintentionally). I used to fall asleep to music when I was in college though, to drown out the noise of the dorm. Strangely enough, "Back in Black" was my album of choice for falling asleep.

I've never fallen asleep to a movie, except when I've been on bus / plane rides and they're playing a movie that I'm not really paying attention. On the other hand, I don't think that my father has ever NOT fallen asleep to a movie since he turned... oh, I'd say 30.

I can fall asleep to any music though - Pavement, Led Zeppelin, the Velvet Underground (and Nico), the Pixies... Hmm, I've never tried falling asleep to Frank Zappa's We're Only In It For the Money. Maybe I should try that one. I bet I could do it.
