I need a good film to watch tonight in bed and it's between these recently downloaded films:

Syriana
Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium
Superbad
Bobby
Into The Wild

I haven't seen any of them, so advice is needed! thanks!

ITW

I'd like to see Into the Wild. Syriana was alright.

The only one that even looks promising is Into The Wild.

into the wild... ignore the goofy titlework, and kinda odd directing choices

Syriana or Superbad. I haven't seen Into The Wild.

only saw syriana, but wouldn't recommend it for bedtime viewing; it's confusing

superbad is pretty funny if you like that kind of stuff, id say into the wild otherwise.

not bobby

Into the wild

or if you want something you wont mind falling asleep in the middle of Superbad

i think he went to bed already

lol, yeah i went to bed! I took most people's advice and watched Into The Wild. I'm still not certain how much i enjoyed it. I think the dialogue written for Hirsch's character was a bit preach-preachy at times, it kinda frustrated me. I also thought the little chapters appearing on screen weren't needed.

However, as the credits rolled i was filled with a sense of sadness and loneliness. I'm the kind of person who would see the idealism and romanticism in doing what Chris did; i can see parts of my personality in him. And i know that i'd probably do it all just like he did and then realise how much i needed people, but just like Chris i'd already be on my way to being dead before i realised it.

It annoyed me that at numerous times throughout the film he'd be talking to someone and saying how you don't need human interaction to be happy and to get through life; but without the people he met on the way he would not have got anywhere close to realising his dream of going to Alaska. I think it was silly that he only realised how people can be a good thing literally at the very end of the film.

That said, the film left me thinking so it's definitely had some sort of impact on me.

I think something lighthearted tonight before i go to sleep!

Superbad FTW

yep, i think that's what i'll go for this evening.
