That one that helps you sleep, or that you could watch a thousand times?
Mine is the 1970s animated version of The Hobbit.
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
Howl’s Moving Castle, but really any Hayao Myazaki film.
Totoro for me
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!
Joe versus the Volcano. It’s not that it makes me necessarily appreciate my life, but it makes me appreciate the world as it is and to be content no matter what shit I’m in. The universe is bigger than my troubles.
Hackers. I like to put it on when I’m doing stuff around the house, or when I feel shitty.
Groundhog Day
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. At one point I was watching a few times a week.
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
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.
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!

Honorable mention: The Search for Animal Chin
The Mummy
🎵🎶 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.
