Do you have any comfort films?

[Cotty]

I think the term is comfort movies but as we are mainly UK based I changed it to films.

Basically a comfort movie is something that you can watch over and over again. One that you may watch when you’ve had a really bad day or feeling down. One you may watch to relax when you’re stressed out but generally one that makes you feel better. Here are a few of mine to get you started:

The Way
Jaws - its mainly a buddy film
The Man from Earth
Silent Runnings
The Worlds Fastest Indian
A Single Man



I find I have a lot of action films in my collection and am looking for suggestions of more relaxed stuff to watch.

Naked Gun trilogy. Never tire of them.

Grease

Ok, I’ll admit it, About a Boy

Chris Nolan’s Batman trilogy is something I don’t think I’d tire of either

Great films I have them on DVD and they do get an airing, but a lot of action explosion tension etc. I was thinking films a bit slower paced to chillout to rather than going to bed wired.

Alec Guinness "All at Sea" one of those old B&W comedies from Ealing Studios. Essentially the connection was made during a very stressful time of life at work, difficulty sleeping, disturbing Mrs F, so I'd go downstairs and this would often be on the TV around 3 or 4am. It got so I'd fall asleep to it.

Think that allows it to fall into the category of the topic.

Yes, one of my guilty pleasures too. I had to watch it again today. Ever After is another.

The Martian

I do like that in fact it reminds me a bit of one of my favorite films Moon with Sam Rockwell, in that they are both isolated on a planet.
Although Moon has little humour compared to The Martian and has a sad rather than happy ending.
