House Painting Movie Montage?
May 18, 2015 8:14 AM Subscribe
My husband and I are painting our new house, and I feel like I'm stuck in a romantic comedy, with the montage including the happy couple painting a room or the house. Of course, my husband has no idea what I'm talking about, and I can't remember any specific movies that have this scene. Can anyone point me to a movie with a montage including the couple painting their new house together?
Tom Hanks also paints a house with Mare Winningham in Turner and Hooch though they are not married at the time.

Best answer: The most frustrating AskMe thread of all time has links to lots of sitcoms and other media that feature humorous painting scenes.

This is probably too old but there's a lovely scene in the British film Shirley Valentine when she's remembering the early days of their marriage - tiny snippet of it here from 1:08).

I really doubt it's Betty Blue, but I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that it involves two madly-in-love young people painting houses pink and blue.

Best answer: The first thing I thought of when I read your question was a montage scene in She's Having a Baby; it wasn't strictly limited to painting though. The song is This Woman's Work by Kate Bush and relevant bits in the movie start about here. Major spoilers if you haven't seen the movie though (and if you haven't, go do so right now cuz it's worth it!).

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has a montage of Benjamin and Daisy's life together in their apartment that includes painting.
