Really wonderful films put me to sleep. Not in that boring way, but in that pleasant comforting way. I like to listen to albums when I go to sleep as well, and the albums I prefer are my favorites, not the most boring.
A boring film or album actually annoys and distracts me which keeps me awake.
One of my favorite to fall off to is Lawrence of Arabia. The Dawn of Man sequence in 2001 is great, but it sucks because later I always get startled awake when the obelisk emits that shrill whine.
I also love to go to sleep to B&W films. The seem more pleasing to the eye at times. Plus, the dialog is often much more enjoyable and rhythmic. Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my favs of this sort. I like the Road To films as well.
My freakiest sleep experience was Chinatown. I slipped off one time when several of us were watching it. I awoke to the ending with the daughter screaming and the horn going off. Very freaky thing to wake up to.
