List: Hangover Movies

Happy New Year! Like you can see we are back after taking an all needed vacation and we have a new logo with a more obvious name. 2012 is all for new beginnings but as we may predict most people usually start it with a mighty hangover. Half of our team will too (hey, Frank!). At that state the best you can do is lie in a horizontal position, drink lots of water, eat leftover sushi and watch movies that are at their best when you're in an hungover state. Surprisingly not included here are the Hangover movies. That's because we've tried it out ourselves and it isn't very pleasant to watch people be hungover while you are going through the same things. All the humor in it just disappears. Not that I've ever forgotten Frank on a rooftop in Vegas or found a tiger in my bathroom.

Here are the best movies to watch in the first morning in 2012:

Police Academy(1984) & The Uncountable Sequels
We've been watching those for years. They are perfect for hangover because there are so many of them. Let's say you fall asleep during the first movie and wake up in the middle of the fifth - you have not missed out of anything! The same jokes, same characters (though faces might have changed) and the same storyline. It's not like they changed the name from Police Academy to Clown Academy somewhere between the third and the fourth.

Titanic (1997)
It's a must since at least one channel is showing it on the 1st of January. You know how it starts, ends and everything that happens in between. Doesn't require entire brain function. What more can you want? And the plus is when the ship starts sinking vertically, to you it will look just right.

Paul (2011)
Paul is an alien who smokes (not only cigarettes), drinks, swears and enjoys eating small birds. While hungover the ridiculousness of the situations start to seem normal and at one point it feels like you're watching a documentary. About aliens. And smoking. With Simon Pegg in it.

Coyote Ugly (2000)
Women in bar throwing bottles.

Transformers 2 (2009)
Fall asleep while watching it. Wake up, see no remarkable developments. Robots still fighting in the desert. CAUTION: only watchable when you keep getting knocked out in every 10 minutes.

Carrie (1976)
When you are hungover then you are practically immune to all the horror films. I personally find this movie incredibly creepy. When you plan on watching this movie then you better do it now and hope that Sissy Spacek doesn't come back in your dreams to pour you over with blood.

Ice Age (2002) & The Sequels
Sid & The crew is fully entertaining in every way possible. I don't care that you think you're too grown up to watch Ice Age. You're hungover. Why are you discriminating? We still quote Ice Age from time to time and it's a huge piece from the puzzle called pop culture. Almost as big as Darth Vader's famous line from The Empire Strikes Back. Which reminds us...

Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Han Solo still rules and Chewbacca is inspiring Frank to create new jokes. Our Wolverine fork joke is getting a bit old. We think we like this one better than the first movie that came out in 1977. Luke Skywalker is way less annoying and Princess Leia has a new hairstyle. Plus there is an actual lightsaber fight what includes the famous line that people keep quoting wrong. It's not "Luke, I..." it is "No, I...". Just in case you people have been living under a rock and don't know how this line ends, we're keeping it like that.

Rango (2011)
Rango is a cowboy chameleon. A COWBOY CHAMELEON. We'd say it's Ice Age worthy material. And we love Ice Age more than... than all the Disney movies combined.



+ ALL the Leslie Nielsen movies

EXTRA:
WE ARE GIVING YOU A WARNING ON WHAT TO NOT WATCH WHILE HUNGOVER IN ADDITION TO THE HANGOVER MOVIES. PLEASE, WOULD SOMEONE START THE STAR WARS SOUNDTRACK? AND PLEASE READ THIS IN DARTH VADER VOICE.

Persona (1966)
Ingmar Bergan might have been a genius but we didn't get that movie even when clean and sober. Watching this while hungover is like watching A Clockwork Orange on shrooms times nine. This inspired a reaction from me that can be described in exactly three letters - WTF? Nevertheless I still think that my review on it is the best I've written here yet (read it HERE) but it also evoked a MSN conversation with Frank which a part of I tweeted HERE.
