Movie Suggestions
Added 2021-07-17 17:55:27 +0000 UTCYa'll....I'm not gonna lie, after watching Space Jam I just wanna watch something I really enjoy. XD What movies do you consider your comfort movies, or movies you really enjoy no matter what? Not a topic question. Just wanting some ideas. Thanks!

Female trouble has been a recent favorite of mine that I can’t help going back to. Yes it’s a gross and campy John waters movie and bad in a technical sense, but it’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.

2021-07-21 00:37:38 +0000 UTCThe Paddington movies have become comfort ones for me(especially the 2nd one) wholesome, funny with a lot of heart and sophistication. With great performances, just head and shoulders over most “family” films.

2021-07-20 17:32:52 +0000 UTCIt's the most light-hearted and humorous of the trek films, it nails the 'fish(es) out of water' plot line, the environmental message is more relevant than ever and it ends in a very positive way.

2021-07-18 01:15:13 +0000 UTCYou mentioned Miyazaki in your review, so I'd go with one of their classics. It's Wong Kar-wai's birthday, so I'm going to put on "Days Of Being Wild" myself. :-D

2021-07-17 19:17:36 +0000 UTCMaggie you might get a kick out of Babysplitters. My friend Maiara Walsh is one of the main stars.

2021-07-17 19:10:38 +0000 UTCDazed and Confused. I watch it every few years and enjoy it every time. My favorite high school movie. Almost as good is Everybody Wants Some!! Both of them are by Linklater.

2021-07-17 18:51:10 +0000 UTCAny Billy Wilder film preferably The Apartment or Some Like it Hot. Recover from American corporate cynicism with satires of American corporate cynicism. Gives me validation on my feelings about society.

2021-07-17 18:37:16 +0000 UTCAliens, The Mummy '99, Fury Road, Predator, Back To The Future, Batman VS Ninja Turtles, The Thing, these are all my go-to comfort movies that I watch a lot!
Tony Moro
2021-07-17 18:28:11 +0000 UTCHighly recommending revisiting Fury Road, or, hell, review Road Warrior!
Tony Moro
2021-07-17 18:26:13 +0000 UTCDefinitely agree with Tyler in regards to Miyazaki films, in particular Kiki's. I also really enjpy to watch any of the three from The Cornetto Trilogy by Edgar Wright. Now this may only work for me because I've watched all of them so many times, also throw in Scott Pilgrim to that as well. Having seen each of those movies a countless number of times it's easy to just sit back a relax while watching them. Don't have to worry about missing anything because I obviously know all of the story beats inside and out. Yet I'll still find myself catching really small details every watchthrough, whether it be a small editing trick, or a side gag off in the background. Then there is always A Nightmare Before Christmas, I feel like it's difficult not to have a good time watching it.

2021-07-17 18:19:42 +0000 UTCI don't think it's appreciated by a lot of Miyazaki's adult fans because it is far less mature than Mononoke and less balls to the wall creative like Spirited Away. But I still put it in that tier of his movies cause I find the simplicity of it charming and actually find Kiki's character journey one of the most relatable and well realized of his canon.

2021-07-17 18:07:09 +0000 UTCMiyazaki films are great. It's been a while since I've seen KiKi's Delivery Service. But I did enjoy it.
Deepfocuslens
2021-07-17 18:06:48 +0000 UTCAlso Back to the Future is a big comfort movie for me. Not only does it give me that nostalgia hit cause I watched it as a kid SO much but I also think it's perfectly structured. I know there are certain feelings towards Zemeckis but for my money, this is far and away the best thing he's done. It perfectly balances sentiment, story and character.
Tyler Shobe
2021-07-17 18:06:10 +0000 UTCMiyazaki movies. I just watched Kiki's Delivery Service with my younger sister last nice and had a very delightful evening after a stressful day.
