42. Movies. It's like having a bed time story.

Must be a movie that does not require attention to details or it will keep me awake. No detective stories loaded with clues to figure out. Also, not a new one that I have never seen or I'll stay awake to see the ending.

Does not need to be slow action or dull. Just not new and not full of details that require mental focus.
