Movies you like to curl up with when sick/down?

[Deleted User] · 09/08/10 - 10:23

Do you have any "comfort movies" like I do? Some of the films I dig out when I'm ill or just having a bad day include:

Star Trek V: The Voyage Home
The Princess Bride
The Neverending Story
Disney Animated Classics
You've Got Mail
Stardust
Pride & Prejudice (2005)

So I go for stuff from my childhood, a bit of romance, and things that are just easy, escapist viewing.

What are yours?

I'd have to agree with field of dreams.
Also:-
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Wallace & Gromit, All of them

Wayne's World 1 & 2

SteelEdge · 09/08/10 - 22:31

My 'comfort film' is Little Shop Of Horrors (the remake with Rick Moranis, not the black and white original). No matter how down I feel, I can just curl up in bed, watch this, smile and forget my troubles for 90 mins.

I usually watch this around 3-4 times a year.
