Watching Movies During Labor?

DH and I had our hospital tour this past weekend, and one thing that was highly recommended was bringing DVDs to watch during labor. They have pretty a pretty sweet TV/DVD player set up in all of the rooms. This had not crossed my mind, but seems like it could be a good distraction/focal point.
Anyone else planning to bring movies? If so, do you have suggestions for good movies to bring? All I can think of so far is Garden State and maybe Grease- simply because those are 2 of my all time favorites. Maybe Juno would be fitting?

Hmm, never thought about watching anything during labor. I guess I figured I'd be too distracted/busy? But it does make some sense to have a distraction, especially if it could take a long time (my mother reminds me at every birthday just how long her labor was. 23 1/2 hours, if you were curious.)
I'm a bit of an anime nerd, so as long as my hospital has decent internet, I could stream a bunch of stuff off Crunchyroll. Most of my favorites are cutesy slice-of-life funny stories (Lucky Star, K-On!, Ouran High School Host Club), so they'd be great to watch. Now the real question is, how well will I be able to read subtitles?
I've been to at least 5 conventions the same time as Vic Mignogna, but have never been able to get him to autograph my Ouran box set (I vendor at these things, can't leave my booth), BUT, he's going to be at a local convention next spring, and I won't be vendoring because LO will be too little, so I might have a shot! Even better, a friend of a friend will likely be his handler, and she plans to dress as Haruhi Fujioka and reprimand "sempai" whenever Vic gets weird (as he is known to do).
.... okay, and now that I've ousted myself as a super-geek, I'll see myself out.....

Okay if you weren't taken already I would propose.I still use one lol it's connected to my flat screen and when new people come over they look at me like I have ten heads... It's like when I drove my lumina and my brother and friends would get in the car and couldn't figure out how to put the windows down.. It had manual roll down windows.. I called them Rollie windows.. When I told them they had to roll it down they took their hands and put them on the window and tried to push them down lol
I just found lion king the other day! I was pumped since I have lion king 2, now I feel pretty official.
I haven't seen sound of music in a few years. I randomly binged on it for a couple weeks a few years ago and just always had it on. I'll do that with movies sometimes.
You could push the baby out to the Darth Vade music - that would be truly epic!
I'm going to go with a Friends marathon.
You would be surprised... My nephew got stuck in the toilet once... I think he was 3 or 4.. Don't know how or why but it happened.. But it happened... My sister has a picture somewhere... But kids get stuck in weird situations sometimes!
