Do you have a "calm down Movie"?

For the second time in two years, I exited a movie and headed home in dread. Interestingly, the dread was due to a movie called Paranormal Activity, and lately, the sequel to the movie. Once I got home, there was an uneasyness in the air as I pet the dog, put down my keys and turned on every light in the house, and looked for a flashlight or two, just in case. As I sat down, unable to go to bed, I thought of 10 or 20 movies I could watch to help erase the thoughts of terror in my head. Last week, my sister saw the first movie and came up with a movie or two, and now, I'm going to add to the list. What movies would you choose to calm those frayed nerves?

Muppet Treasure Island - Alright, shut up, I like that movie! I know the music, and Kermit is an extremely versatile actor. The movie is light, has no scary elements to it, and will leave you singing Cabin Fever, ahh!

Back to the Future - Like the go carts in Clerks II, this movie takes me back to a simpler time. It's funny, isn't really heavy, and I can quote everything in the movie. On top of that, the themes are engaging, and the characters are good enought to take your mind off any para raptor.

Blazing Saddles - This one seems like an easy one. AFI's number two funniest movie of all time, this movie will make you laugh, from the Camp-Town Ladies at the beginning all the way to the great pie fight at the end, this movie will prove laughter can get rid of any thoughts of terror.

Balls of Fury - The title alone probably gives away the reason. Sure, there is a lot of comedy on this list, but in my opinion, comedy is the exact opposite of terror, and the best medicine for a creapy evening. This movie has Christopher Walken as a Chinease guy, a whole bunch of blind jokes, and a great parody of Enter the Dragon with ping-pong, or as the Chinease call it Ping-Pong. Besides, it has the Dragon; the least intimidating ping-pong player of all time.

Oceans 11 - This one is a bit different. Sure, it's comedy, but it isn't the silly slapstick of the previous two. This one has so many quotable moments, and funny parts, from the beginning with Danny Ocean and Rusty, to "the little Asian guy" to the amazing finale. It's a fun movie I could watch, and have, over and over again. There's also a bonus here that this movie is always on TV.

The Replacements - This is what I used last year, actually, and it worked well. It's a fun football movie that has the little guy winning in the end; what more could you want? The movie has some great moments that are funny, and also very heart-felt, along with that one scene where the team gets a penalty when a cheerleader smacks the other on the ass (quality TV).

So, there you go, your remedy to Halloween, and the scary movies playing during the season. If you have another remedy, let me know!
