What’s your go to comfort movie?

Mine is hands down Raiders of the Lost Ark. I’ve been a diehard Indiana Jones fan since I was four or five years old. I’m 18 now. Ignoring plot, dialogue, character arcs, cinematography, music, acting, etc. (all of which and more it beyond excels at) and just ranking it based solely on my own personal enjoyment, it might be my favorite movie of all time. If not, it’s definitely up there.

The Blues Brothers

No contest. The music, the dancing, the absolute daftness of the whole thing. And that car chase!

schindler's list

ILikeBoats

Point Break (1991)

Squeeonline

The Social Network.

I love the pacing and the soundtrack.

Some Like It Hot.

Jack Lemmon was so funny and Marilyn was incandescent.

Mine too, it’s genius.

Be right back

From here to eternity! A bit of Montgomery Clift, can't go wrong.

Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. If I had to pick just one of them... The Dark Knight.

I also think Independence Day was incredibly well made. I'd always happily sit down and watch that.

For me, it would have to be Master and Commander The far side of the World with Russel Crowe. I never get tired of watching it.

Atlantic Dawn

Armageddon, purely thinking outside the box solutions that might just resolve a disaster 😂

Love Actually

Back to the Future 1. Just a perfect film.

Have you read the books? They’re brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Garden State gets my vote, real easy to watch and quite funny in parts. Natalie Portman warms my cold, dead heart in this every time!

Hotel Erotica

Burt Renaults

Groundhog Day. I watched it 365 times last year.

" I hate Illinois nazis "

Hangdogroad

Kelly's Heroes, it was one of the first movies I can remember seeing on the telly as a nipper.

delboy85

"Apollo 13". Perfect for a snoozy Sunday afternoon. Great film.

French Toast

The Longest Yard (2005 version with Adam Sandler). Great bit of nonsensical, feel-good comedy.

The Big Lebowski is another one.

poppysee

Ratatouille is my go to comfort movie something about it that just makes my day better.

walshb

Back to the Future. An absolute timeless gem

callaway92

Some really good shouts here including The Social Network, Jurassic Park and the Nolan Batman movies

Weird one here but I think The Social Network is actually kind of underrated

My own choice would be the usual stereotypes of Shawshank Redemption, Gladiator, The Green Mile. Perfect ‘pick up and play’ movies

Recently I find that Get Out is becoming a go-to movie for me too

gladvimpaker

Sleepy Hollow, The Shining, Christmas Carol or Jaws

walshb

Another one I watch an awful lot is Fatal Attraction. It’s got everything, and not a single minute is uninteresting.

Nothing surprises me now

Cinema Paradiso is great film. Also really like Stand By Me and the Colour Purple.

Tom Mann Centuria

A couple I watch, The Frighteners or Amelie. Neither are too taxing.

Absolutely my favourite comfort movie.

Also tradition that we watch it every Christmas Eve.

Schilndlers List and Shawshank Redempton are up there as my all time favourite films along with The Pianist, but I wouldn't class them as comfort movies but each to there own!

c.p.w.g.w

Back to the Future, Raiders, Last Crusade

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Lost in translation.

Always end up in a chilled/happy mood.

I'd always watch Forest Gump if it was on

Quazzie

Big Daddy or The Greatest Showman

2smiggy

other than Back to the Future and Groundhog Day, I have probably watched The Big Short more than anything

Talisman
