The fifth element, it was on cable a lot when I was a kid so the chances of me falling asleep while it was playing in the background were high and I guess it became a subconscious association
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!
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.
Ready Player One. It’s a terrible movie that adapts a terrible book, but for some reason the vibe just entertains me and makes me feel comfortable. I don’t know either.
Fair enough. It’s got some solid spectacle so I’d be down for a big screen rerelease. Pity nobody actually liked it enough to warrant one. Oh well.
But seriously, crawling into my bed (possibly with a good book) and just imagining that this warm soft place is my entire universe and anything outside it is not my problem.
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.
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.
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.
It gave me a sort of feeling I didn't get from anything else, that I liked. But it's kind of hard to describe. Like standing on the edge of an epiphany but never quite grasping it.

I especially love that it's one of the few dark fantasy movies natively made in Spanish. Fun fact, the faun speaks medieval Spanish

Star Trek pre 2005 any series and DS9 only if i need to really sleep like a baby.
For the movies anything but nemesis

Tremors is up there for me. Every couple of years I revisit it and have just as much time as the last.
P00ptart@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 264d
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"

Lol you're correct. Idk what happened there, meant to say fun!

NKBTN@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 264d
Nah, it's a pretty decent movie. Possibly because it changes everything about the book
EvilBit@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 264d
It does everything it can to improve the book and a lot of those decisions are phenomenal. But it’s still not a good movie. I just love it dearly.
NKBTN@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 264d
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

Idiocracy has been my go to for the past several years. Before that, Super Troopers. Or maybe Dazed and Confused.

Oh man I picked The Big Lebowski but Dazed is an excellent contender as well.

I could curl up with that movie and a warm blanket if I had the flu. I wouldn’t necessarily choose it, but I wouldn’t resist it, either.
Many family movies also work. Plus Scooby doo for some reason.

Not a movie, but every time I watch Willjum on YouTube smoke people in Rust it's somewhat calming for me.
I don't have a movie or tv show I watch over and over again. Always wonder why that is, as so many people seem to have such a thing.
