What are some good movies that helps you fall asleep?

Valkyrie was the most recent sleep inducing borefest for me.Good movies is a bit of a backhanded compliment.Zzzzzzzz

The Ten Commandments

In a negative way: I’ve never been able to stay awake through Star Wars.

In a positive way: Amelie. Between a story that soothes me, a language I love to listen to, and Yann Tiersen’s fantastic music, I end up in a calm, happy place where my mind isn’t racing and I can sleep. A few children’s movies work like that for me, too.

I usually watch documentaries before I go to sleep. I guess that isn’t a very specific answer, but they seem to work really well for me. They are interesting, so it isn’t that they bore me to sleep. But they usually aren’t terribly action packed either, so then I find it easy to nod off.

(Actually I find reading a semi-demanding book to be more soporific than a movie.)

The Breakfast Club usually has me sleeping before “Well, well. Here we are. I want to congratulate you for being on time.”

I think westerns may be the ticket for me.

The daVinci Code will do that job in 10 minutes.

Wall-E

I used to watch Donnie Darko before bed every night.

@stemnyjones That doesn’t seem a good choice for “sweet dreams.” :)

@perspicacious: for a while I used The Shining to sleep, or Halloween. ;)

@poofandmook I take it you’ve moved on to something a little less stimulating. :)

@perspicacious: Actually, it all depends on what’s been on TV. It’s easier to just put something on from the DVR instead of messing with DVDs. Right now, my sleep movie list on the DVR is Riding The Bus With My Sister, Temple Grandin, Doubt, Kindergarten Cop, and The Breakfast Club. As I get sick of them, I delete them… and when something good is on one of the movie channels, I’ll record it and use that one. It just has to be a movie I know very well.

Duck Soup is the best, but anything by the Marx Brothers (ok, most black and whites, especially classics, but the Marx Brothers are my favorites). And it’s totally in a positive way: I normally can’t sleep because I’m too anxious, and they calm me down sooo much.

I need the TV to sleep, so my list is pretty long hehe

You want a good movie, but one without a lot of action. Something that can be watched repeatedly, but something that doesn’t captivate you with suspense. And maybe it should have a dream-like quality.

Your movie is Field of Dreams.
