[Film] Films that sent you to sleep

[ken tiler]

Following on from the thread on films that made you blub - how about films that sent you to sleep from boredon. Out of Africa for me,

sorry - boredom!

Bram Stokers Dracula. Saw it at Kingswest in 1992. Only film I’ve ever walked out of to this day.

The Irishman, I think we were gaslit by the movie aficionados.

Any Columbo film. I love Columbo, but i always fall asleep, shortly after it's been established who the killer is, then waking up just before Columbo solves the case. Last week we went to watch Glass Onion, and I very nearly had a little snooze in the middle section of that. Very enjoyable film, though.

Lord of the Rings (first one), never bothered going back for the other two

Is utter gash, was available in our cabin on a cruise about 10 years ago so thought we would give it a go.

30 minutes in I was gone, best nights sleep I have had in years!

I found myself drifting off in the cinema when watching Me, Myself & Irene.

I’m not a napper.

But Reversal Of Fortune (1990) with Jeremy Irons was soporific shit. Inducing a long sleep at the Odeon.

Plus I slept through much of a kids cartoon at Cineworld. Can’t recall the movie. My kids didn’t notice!

When you woke up and realised you were still halfway through the film, did you get that sinking feeling?

I saw its local premiere at the Marina. Loved it.

I’m ashamed to say most arthouse films send me to sleep after the first 5 mins - non-emotive acting, bland lighting, scenes moving so slow they can barely crawl. Don’t get me wrong, in days gone by I’d love a good Bresson or Fassbinder (although some arthouse films today are genuinely shite!). Having said that, my concentration levels after working all day combined with illness related fatigue means even a Hollywood disaster film has me nodding off while periodically waking up with a start to the sound of gunshots, explosions or people screaming.

I tend not to watch films much now because I find most films boring (largely because I’ve probably seen 90% of the good films available to watch and watching them for possibly the 2nd or 3rd time).

I’ve been falling asleep through some of the more boring WC matches too - notably USA v ENG, ECU v QAT, and CMR v BRA - so that probably doesn’t say much about my ability to stay awake these days while watching anything.
