Howl's Moving Castle, but really any Hayao Myazaki film.

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!
Star Trek pre 2005 any series and DS9 only if i need to really sleep like a baby.
For the movies anything but nemesis
Ready Player One. Itβs a terrible movie that adapts a terrible book, but for some reason the vibe just entertains me and makes me feel comfortable. I donβt 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 itβs 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
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
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"
π΅πΆ the greatest adventure ...π΅πΆ
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.
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.

Jacob's Ladder
Comfort movie: Matilda
Movie I could watch 1000 times: The Lion King (1994)
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.
I read this as βWhatβs your comfort move?β Now I want that list too, whatever it may be.
- Hackers
- Kikiβs Delivery Service
- Whisper of the Heart
- Star Trek IV
Honorable mention: The Search for Animal Chin
Either Rain Man, Rocky Horror Picture Show, or Clue, depending on how I'm feeling that day.
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.
Legends of the Fall..
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
Not a movie, but mysteries at the museum puts me to sleep every time. They reuse the same overblown words for everything so it winds up that every single item they talk about sounds alike. Between that repetition and the guys metronomic cadence and almost whispery voice, puts me to sleep every time.
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.
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.
