Your Top 5 Comfort Films?

[Speed Badger]

We all have them, they may not be the best films ever made, or indeed they might be, but what are your top five comfort films? Those films you put on when you're feeling down, maybe you saw them as a kid, maybe they transport you to another world for a couple of hours. I've probably got far more than five, but mine are usually the following, in no particular order:

Aliens
High Fidelity
Back to the Future
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Grosse Pointe Blank

Special mentions:

Jaws
Interstellar

[WrekinCrew]

The Martian
Life of Brian
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Die Hard
2001

[Clad-Hach]

In no order...movies I can put on and watch anytime.

Hot Fuzz - This is one of the best movies ever made.
Star Trek 4 - The Voyage Home - The reveal of "NCC-1701-A" gets me every time.
Any Which Way But Loose / Any Which Way You Can - The Black Widow's biker gang, need I say more.
Cars - Pixar perfection.
The Enemy Below - Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens go head to head in this awesome WW2 movie.

Grosse Pointe Blank

Definitely this one. Love it.

Also:

Casablanca
Act of Valor
Heat

Odd one for sure but I always find something interesting in Chronicles of Riddick, one of those films you can start watching at any point and notice something new, just so much detail in the world they created.

TOP GUN .... can put either of them on and sit back to enjoy.

When the kids were younger, Moana was another.....

[RizzoTheRat]

Another vote for Gross Point Blank, one of the best movie soundtracks too.

Silverado - I do like a western

Muppet Christmas Carol - The definitive Christmas movie and I will hear no argument about that. I saw another version of A Christmas Carol last year and it only had one of the Marley brothers in it which seemed weird.

The Replacement Killers - Chow Yun Fat and Mira Sorvino saving a cops kid from the Triads

Hot Fuzz - A classic

[Sporky]

Kung Fu Hustle
Cold Comfort Farm
The Great Race
Resident Evil 2 or 3
The Spy Who Loved Me, or Moonraker, or For Your Eyes Only

[P-Jay]

Forrest Gump.
The Gentlemen.
The Departed.
Heat.
Goodfellas.

So one silly/sweet film and 4 super violent Gangster flicks, probably a damming insight into my state of mind ha ha.

[Austin Prefect]

Final countdown.
The Martian.

[Wills2]

Casino Royale
Hunt for Red October
Where Eagles Dare
Zulu
Darkest Hour

+ Jaws

Oblivion
Passengers
The Martian
Shaun of the Dead
Two Lane Blacktop
Vanishing Point
One Week (a Canadian impromptu road trip film a Canadian pal recommended to me some years ago)

Sink the Bismarck

Sorry, can’t count to 5
