What is your Comfort Flick?

What is the movie or film you watch when you just want complete assurance, semi-reality and sanity on a Sunday night after a long weekend -

when you want to go to that place in your head thats just yours and the directors and actors with no creepy twists and everything tucks you into bed?

Labyrinth

Obviously reality stopped being my friend when they started showing it to me on TV.; ▶ Reply to This

For this sort of movie comfort food, you can't go wrong with a good old-school western where it's clear who the good guys are and who the bad guys are and what's motivating everyone. My fave in this genre would be Winchester 73. The bad guys took Jimmy's gun and this will not stand!

Other films I'll watch again and again to take me to that happy place...
The Princess Bride
Roman Holiday
The Black Swan
The More the Merrier
Bringing Up Baby
My Man Godfrey
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Star Wars IV and V; ▶ Reply to This
