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.
7
NKBTN @feddit.uk - 4w
Nah, it's a pretty decent movie. Possibly because it changes everything about the book
6
EvilBit @lemmy.world - 4w
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 - 4w
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

EvilBit @lemmy.world - 4w
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
