Dirty Dancing....my secret shame...but when its on action sci-fi nerd girl turns into a Baby wannabe.
Time after Time...shoddy time machine effects...but Malcolm McDowell is sweet, and David Warner makes me flinch....I still watch it with the blankets pulled up to my eyes. The Princess Bride...."Hallo...my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father...prepare to die!" |

I love all these suggestions! Of course the best comfort movie is the one that means the most to you and just about everyone has some movie for which they have a completely irrational fondness. I'll admit one of my guiltiest guilty pleasures is...."The Cutting Edge," the ice skating movie with Moira Kelly and D.B. Sweeney. Love it!

How about Rat Race, or Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World?
Both make me laugh, they are star-studded comic chase movies, and if you are sick and they come on its hard to turn the channel. |

[QUOTE=Acts 28:22;1020168]The BBC version of PRIDE & PREJUDICE is one of the top 10[/QUOTE]
That's one of my favorites as well, but I have to make sure I've got time to watch all 5 hrs of it at a single go, because once I start it I can't bear to stop. My absolute favorite comfort movie is "84 Charing Cross Road", the ultimate book-lover's movie (despite the saddish ending). Along with a true story that I love is the brilliant casting of Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins as the main characters -- a New York writer and a London bookseller who never meet, but have a 20 year friendship conducted entirely by mail. I also enjoy two holiday movies -- "The Last Holiday" (the remake with Queen Latifah) and "Love, Actually". Those two pick me up any time of the year.
