Which Movies are a cure for insomnia?


Which movies old or new had you yawning and straining to keep your eyes open?
Which movies are in your opinion a cure for insomnia?

Recently 'Blair Witch Project' had me propping my eyes open with matchsticks, and this film scared the shit out of people??

'Proof of Life', should have been retitled 'Proof of Boredom', dozed off halfway, erm what happened at the end was he rescued, no I don't really care.

'Meet Joe Black', had me knitting a sweater while it was on, just kidding, my nutty babe wanted to see this 'epic' again and again, I pleaded cruel and unusual punishment and she relented, I swear this movie was 8 hours long.

'What Dreams May Come', worked perfectly I was in the land of nod within minutes.

When I was a wee lad '2001 A Space Odyssey' was the most boring film ever created, now its my favorite SF movie, when I watch this classic with a bunch of friends I'm the only one still awake by the end, only kidding Jack, brilliant movie.

Storm of the Century let's me drop off like a baby, don't get me wrong, great flick, but I think it's a combination of shut-in situation, comfortable NE accents, I don't know, but it just knocks me out.

To date Ed Wood is the only movie that I've ever fallen asleep while watching.

The Road to Wellville is a close second.

Fell asleep watching Soul Survivors, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (I REALLY wanted to like this, but fell asleep during the middle!) and Planet of the Apes.

Jesse, how could you possibly fall asleep watching a movie with Eliza Dushku and Ali Larter in tight black leather!?!
