My comfort movies usually change over the years, becoming little time capsules for specific moments in my life. When I was fourteen, I basically had Billy Elliot and Heartbreakers playing on a loop. Around nineteen, it felt like I was only ever watching Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Pride & Prejudice, and Baby Mama. In my early-twenties, 500 Days of Summer was a reliable pick-me-up.
At the same time, there are also a handful of titles that have never faltered from my list. I've loved some of these for decades (literally). It's not a very highbrow assortment, but watching these movies makes me feel great, and the fact that I haven't outgrown them is very comforting to me.
Breakfast at Tiffany's (please don't judge my basic side)
In The Loop (because sometimes you need to soothe a crotchety mood with some mean-spirited laughter)
Finally, there are movies I might not outright reach for in a funk, but will ALWAYS fall into super easily...
You've Got Mail (same goes for When Harry Met Sally!)
Honestly, there are so many more that I'm forgetting (my memory recall sucks).
What are your favorite feel-good movies? Maybe you have a comfort TV show instead? (I certainly have a long list of those, too.) I'm always around to swap notes :)
