I’m sure anyone who loves film and has been severely ill or severely depressed and needed something to watch in the background can identify with the idea of a “comfort” movie.

My top five are:
-Adventureland
-The Ninth Gate
-Lost in Translation
-Midnight in Paris
-Out of Africa


What about y’all?
 
I'll have to give this more thought, but my immediate go to is Trailer Park Boys. It usually depends on which season I gravitate to, but if I'm feeling really bad it's usually going to be season 5 lol.

(I know thats tv not film, but I do occasionally watch the TPB films as well.)

As far as actual movies, Tommy Boy... Me, Myself, and Irene...

Certain moods, something like Edward Scissorhands or Nightmare Before Christmas.

Hook, Jurassic Park, Home Alone.
 
Drowning by Numbers



Got to find all one hundred numbers - 32 years and 50+ views later, still not got them all.
 
Dogma
Sci Fi Mystery 3,000 movie.

Dogma I watched 'religiously' before every piss test when I was on probation. Movie brings me comfort and I have no explanation

That is the ultimate as I saw it in theatres with my father who has passed after a nurse decided to stab a needle into me (So I was hurt, my leg way swollen) based on some personal politics I was unaware of.

Almost too nostalgic -- haha like that first hit of crack or whatever --- never gunna match it so I dont try.
 
John Dies At The End (2012).

It's Sci-Fi Horror Comedy.
It's about a hallucinogenic soy sauce, and college kids.


Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil (2010)

More of a Sitcom. Horror.
Some countryfolk inherit an old home and go out into the wooded area to start cleaning up the property, where they encounter a bunch of vacationing college kids who mistake them for being crazy serial killers.

The Star Wars Trilogy and the Indiana Jones Trilogy. Then they screwed them up and killed the series.

sure. and kingdom of the crystal skull was abysmal.

the final 3 movies in the star wars saga (7, 8, 9) made more than the prequel trilogy (1, 2, 3).

but you said they went broke because they went woke. can you provide two or three examples of how they were woke? thanks.

I guess comfort films for me are ones that I've seen a lot and don't make me think deeply anymore ( if they ever did) but which I'm always going to relax and enjoy watching, even in bits and pieces.
So with that said, " Lord of the Rings Trilogy" ( but not the Hobbit which I dislike), "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", " Shawshank Redemption" ( fuck you, Warden), " The Godfather 1 and 2", " Pulp Fiction"
