That one that helps you sleep, or that you could watch a thousand times?
Mine is the 1970s animated version of The Hobbit.
Grown Ups 2 and Just Go With It and The Week Of come to mind
Pans Labyrinth
I especially love that it’s one of the few dark fantasy movies natively made in Spanish. Fun fact, the faun speaks medieval Spanish
Joe versus the Volcano. It’s not that it makes me necessarily appreciate my life, but it makes me appreciate the world as it is and to be content no matter what shit I’m in. The universe is bigger than my troubles.
The Big Lebowski if I’m forced to pick just one.
Howl’s Moving Castle, but really any Hayao Myazaki film.
Totoro for me
In no particular order:
- Sahara
- Hercules (1997 animated version)
- Mulan (1998 animated version)
- 27 Dresses
- Jurassic Park (although probably not for sleeping given all the screaming, lol)
Ready Player One. It’s a terrible movie that adapts a terrible book, but for some reason the vibe just entertains me and makes me feel comfortable. I don’t know either.
Nah, it’s a pretty decent movie. Possibly because it changes everything about the book
It does everything it can to improve the book and a lot of those decisions are phenomenal. But it’s still not a good movie. I just love it dearly.
I’ve definitely not good enough I have any desire to rewatch it, but if there was an IMAX 3D re-release and a friend had a spare ticket, I’d go
Mind you, that’s also true of about half the films I’ve ever seen, so not exactly high praise
Fair enough. It’s got some solid spectacle so I’d be down for a big screen rerelease. Pity nobody actually liked it enough to warrant one. Oh well.
The fifth element, it was on cable a lot when I was a kid so the chances of me falling asleep while it was playing in the background were high and I guess it became a subconscious association
Conditioned to instantly fall asleep at the command-word “multipass”.
Comfort movie: Matilda
Movie I could watch 1000 times: The Lion King (1994)
Perfect Days by Wim Wenders
The Curse of the Golden Flower. I never get tired of watching it.
Matrix probably.
🎵🎶 the greatest adventure …🎵🎶
I love that movie too, especially the Down Down to Goblin Town part.
I didn’t have a comfort movie per se, but for a long time I would fall asleep watching Star Trek the next generation. I would doze off to the sound of the ships HVAC system. There must have been a lot of silent pauses in that show.
Hackers. I like to put it on when I’m doing stuff around the house, or when I feel shitty.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Made back when walt disney was still alive. It’s got that magic thats been long lost. With so much going on in this world it’s nice to step back and enjoy simple things with childlike wonder. Highly recommended!
