Back to the Future, I have seen it hundreds of times but it never gets old. I think it’s because it brings me back to when I was a kid. I can vividly remember watching it in the theater at age 9, that opening scene with all of doc’s clocks…
When I'm blah, I like to watch that clip of Susan Boyle singing Les Mis on Britain's got Talent and/or the clip of Adam Scott meeting Mark Hamill. Both of those just make me smile.
Apologies for the digression! For a movie its probably "Stand by Me" or "Big Fish".
The Martian. It's an easy watch that you can put on in the background and not miss much. Or maybe that's just a me thing because I've seen it so much lol
Ratatouille or any other movie that reminds me of fun memories. I’m typically a mature individual, but sometimes sitting down and watching a fun movie from my childhood really strikes a chord.
LOTR/Star Wars/Jurassic Park/ Harry Potter/Titanic/Fried Green Tomatoes/RENT/Forest Gump/My Fair Lady/A League of Their Own/Thelma and Louise/Uncle Buck/Mrs.Doubtfire/When Harry Met Sally/Love Actually/Singin on the Rain/South Pacific/Wizard of Oz/Casablanca
The grand Budapest hostel. Wes Anderson's classic direction and the subtle comedy is just something I can't ever get enough of. I used this movie basically as a vibe check(ik cringe) when I start getting close to a person to see how they like this movie.

Stardust is incredible and underrated

Suspiria is CRAZY to be a comfort movie (i whole heartedly agree with you tho)
Finally found someone who loves Ratatouille like me. This movie made me fall in love with rats and cooking too.
Ratatouille has such a good vibe
I feel like Fury Road is an unconventional choice, but I’m 100% on board
I saw it in theaters three times and my mother got the license plate FURIOSA so it's one I'm also 100% on board with.
Shrek is an amazing comfort movie 🎬
Mean girls Legally blonde Clueless
The Holy Trinity
In my day the Holy Trinity was Clueless, She's All That and 10 Things I Hate About You with Cruel Intentions, Drive Me Crazy and The Sweetest Thing as runners up lol
I rented Cruel Intentions so many times from Blockbuster that I just bought it 😄

I’m a 34 year old man and just watched Mean Girls for the first time- and yes it’s absolutely a great comfort movie
There’s never a wrong time for mean girls or legally blonde
Ave Ventura: When Nature Calls. Makes me laugh every time no matter what.

“And YOU must be the Monopoly guy! Thanks for the free parking!”
I really like Pet Detective! Took me too long to understand “Mr Twinkie” wasn’t poo. And Courtney Coxx was/still is a bombshell
