That one that helps you sleep, or that you could watch a thousand times?
Mine is the 1970s animated version of The Hobbit.
I’ve got Plex playlists that I sometimes just put on repeat when working or going to sleep:
Harry Potter
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the Caribbean
Groundhog Day
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. At one point I was watching a few times a week. Yes, I am autie. How’d you know?
Tremors is up there for me. Every couple of years I revisit it and have just as much time as the last.
Lol I think you mistyped because the way this currently reads is “I watch this movie because I have exactly this much time to kill”
Lol you’re correct. Idk what happened there, meant to say fun!
Only ever had one, kinda. Though I’m not sure I’d call it comfortable? But it’s… visceral, which is mildy amusing because it’s trying to be cerebrial, but too much of the dialogue is just scattered quotes and philosophy references. Anyways, the movie is Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. The second one that was directed by Mamoru Oshii. These days, I don’t get anything out of watching it anymore. I watched it one too many times. But I’ve never taken to any movie like I did that one, so, it wins.
Why was it comforting exactly?
Se7en
Hackers. I like to put it on when I’m doing stuff around the house, or when I feel shitty.
Idiocracy has been my go to for the past several years. Before that, Super Troopers. Or maybe Dazed and Confused.
Oh man I picked The Big Lebowski but Dazed is an excellent contender as well.
Idiocracy the documentary?
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!
Jacob’s Ladder
Nice
Howl’s Moving Castle, but really any Hayao Myazaki film.
Totoro for me
The Blues Brothers or Nuts in May
The Blues Brothers is my all time favorite movie. I’m the type of person who doesn’t like to rewatch things unless it’s been long enough for me to forget parts of it. But I’ve watched the Blues Brothers more times than I could count. Starting back whenever it was on TBS in the 90s, to when it was the first DVD I ever bought, to the two versions I have on my media server.
I have never heard of Nuts in May, so now I know what movie I’ll be watching next.
Nuts in May is very British. It’s marvellous.
- Hackers
- Kiki’s Delivery Service
- Whisper of the Heart
- Star Trek IV
Honorable mention: The Search for Animal Chin
Oh man I had a roommate who fell asleep to movies. Never understood it. Ill take some nice sound things like light thunderstorm sounds and no light.
I read this as “What’s your comfort move?” Now I want that list too, whatever it may be.
Fap.
But seriously, crawling into my bed (possibly with a good book) and just imagining that this warm soft place is my entire universe and anything outside it is not my problem.
This is how I felt when at the hospital during a years long battle with addiction. The hospital was my safe space.
