Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Afternoon napping qualities: melodic piano soundtrack; soft, dreamy lighting; turn of the 19th century clothing/etiquette/language; that scene in the pouring rain where Mr. Darcy confesses he loves Lizzie and she tells him off.Sabrina (1995)*
Afternoon napping qualities: Julia Ormond's soothing narration voice; the scenes where Sabrina goes to Paris and figures out who she is; Harrison Ford as the stodgy Linus Larrabee who finds his heart.
Gilmore Girls (2000-2007; particularly seasons 1-4)Afternoon napping qualities: the fact that I know all the episodes so well that they're completely comfortable and it doesn't matter if I sleep through them; I've also developed the ability to sleep with the remote in my hand to ffwd through the theme song.
You've Got Mail (1998)*
Afternoon napping qualities: Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan; "Don't you just love New York in the fall? Makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils"; Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan; the fact that Meg Ryan makes having a cold look completely charming; did I mention Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan?
Now, I realize that these are fairly girly movies, so that said, I will also happily nap during Sunday afternoon football games. They're just not an option since we don't currently get any channels. Happy Napping!
*I've just realized that 2/4 of the movies feature Greg Kinnear as a supporting actor. Interesting coincidence.
