What are some of your favorite “comfort” movies?

There are so many but I’ll start with these:

Office Space

Best In Show

Young Frankenstein
Stir Crazy
Blazing Saddles
Debbie Does Dallas

The African Queen
The Thin Man
The Gods Must be Crazy
A Night at the Opera

Signs with Mel Gibson.
Grease1 or 2.
Goonies.
The classics remakes of Jane Eyre, Emma, Sense & Sensibility, Little Women, etc..

Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

Dune part 1
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Enemy Below
Serenity
Star Trek (sorry Ragingloli)
Skyfall
Lawrence of Arabia
The Fall (Tarsem)
What’s Up Doc?
Princess Bride

Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope, 1977)
Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N. (1951)
The Ladykillers (1955)
Charade (1963)
North by Northwest (1959)
The Three Musketeers (1973)

This question revealed something to me. These are six of the top nine films on my favorite films list, but they’re not the #1, #3, or #4, and none of the ones below these on my list really qualify as “always make me feel good”, at least not to the extent these do. Hmm.

@Zaku Iwas thinking “North by Northwest” too. Love that movie!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
It’s a Wonderful Life
The African Queen
Lawrence of Arabia
Summertime
and so many more.

Almost Famous
Bohemian Rhapsody

Forest Gump
Zootopia
Love Actually
Frozen

Urotsukidoji

@ragingloli Oh, I’m on to you…I’m not clicking on that. ;}

@rockfan Great! The Apartment and Kiki’s Delivery Service never fail to deliver for me. Along with other Miyazaki films like My Neighbor Totoro and Laputa, Castle in the Sky.

Casablanca and Maltese Falcon each do it for me.

There are so many good ones in this thread I could have included in my list.

@eyesoreu Young Frankenstein has been a favorite of mine since I was young.

“It’s Pronounced Fronkensteen!”

The Big Lebowski
Pulp Fiction
Anything Harry Potter
The Princess and The Pirate

Recently I added a new favorite.
I hadn’t seen it before, but I’ve watched it four times in the last month. In Bruges.

The In Laws (the original one with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin)
Fargo
Little Miss Sunshine
Sideways

@filmfann In Bruges, great fun flick.

I only saw In Bruges when it first came out, and from what I remember, it has one of the most depressing scenes ever

It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Christmas Story during the holidays.

Local Hero
Clockwise
Blade Runner
Burn After Reading

Gone in 60 Seconds (Nicolas Cage)
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
2001: A Space Odyssey
On the Waterfront

@Jonsblond Never gets old, watched it again recently & still laugh throughout.

Dirty Dancing
Ghost
Road House
Top Gun (Original)
Love Actually
Bohemian Rhapsody

After those, it’s mood of the day & what’s on streaming.
When super depressed, I tend to go for movies that will make me cry because crying seems to relieve my depression as long as I’m NOT crying for myself!!! Hallmark Christmas movies are usually good for that & one I’ve not seen works well as Hallmark knows how to make me cry!!!

^^ Hallmark shows are the BEST!!

@mazingerz88

I’m an artist that has experienced imposter syndrome, so Kiki’s Delivery Service speaks to me on an insanely high level lol

Films like ‘The Natural’ always make me feel good but my go to movie is always ‘Pocket full of Miracles’

Remembered some more:
.
It’s A Wonderful Life
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Forrest Gump
Rear View

Jimmy Stewart!

Bell,Book and Candle
Harvey
You Can’t Take it With You

There are so many great movies!

A Beautiful Life
Educating Rita

Shirley Valentine
Gregory’s Girl
Kind Hearts and Coronets
A Hard Day’s Night
King of Hearts

It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
The Lavender Hill Mob
Anything of Laurel & Hardy

I guess it really depends on what’s got me down. Some of mine are really embarrassing.

The Twilight Saga (I hang my head in shame.)
Tangled
Notting Hill
Garden State
Lost In Translation

My biggest comfort is an obscure little TV show from the late 90s called Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Grand Budapest Hotel

Chicago
Xanadu

The Green Book / The Sandlot / My Favorite Year / A Shot in the Dark (Part of The Pink Panther series, and the only film of the series without Pink Panther in the title somewhere).

Oh, also Dr. Strangelove (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb).
