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
Howl’s Moving Castle, but really any Hayao Myazaki film.
Totoro for me
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”.
I am nothing more than a meat popsicle
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.
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!
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. At one point I was watching a few times a week.
🎵🎶 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.
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
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?
- Zach Snyder director’s cut watchmen from 2009
- Matrix movies including Animatrix
- Appleseed movies
- Ghost in the shell movies
- Batman the animated series
- Justice League DC animation
- Justice League extended DC animation
Extended? Please explain?
Should have been unlimited Good spotting
Star Trek pre 2005 any series and DS9 only if i need to really sleep like a baby.
For the movies anything but nemesis
Matrix probably.
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)
The Commitments
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.
