Comfort movies/tv shows

[diet_orange]

What are some shows or movies that you keep around because you have some kind of emotional attachment to them?

Probably three of my favorites (movie wise) are George Romero's Knightriders (about a renaissance fair trope who joust via motorcycles who slowly get pulled apart as a family)

Bliss (about an advertising executive who loves telling stories who has a near death experience on his birthday and now believes himself to be in hell)

and finally, Orson Welles' Chimes At Midnight (a very loose retelling of Shakespeare's Henriad)

 

[DunkeyKong]

Each of these gave me comfort in some way

Never heard about this movies! Here are some movies who i try to rewatch from time to time, every one of them hold a precious moment, secret or adventure still present in my heart:

Another Frasier fan here...I can quote from every episode from the first 4 seasons alone

Also,

Every season of Slayers, but especially Try. This is because as a kid, I got my mom to buy me each VHS tape as it was released in America by ADV. I would check Sun Coast Video at the mall every time to see if a new one had come out...

Runners up...

1. Beast Wars
2. Monster Rancher
3. The Big O
4. Legend of Crystania / Lodoss Wars
5. (Any ADV anime lol)
6. Home Movies
7. The Sound of Music
8. Anastasia
9. Valkyrie
10. The Death of Stalin (watch this every time I visit home with my dad)

The first 10 seasons of The Simpsons is probably my biggest "Comfort food" show, and something I can watch at literally any time and enjoy myself. Any newer then season 10 and my interest starts to fade though.

On the Anime side of things, Samurai Champloo was one of the first anime's I *really* got into as a teen, and it always takes me back when I rewatch it now.

Can't believe I forgot to add the Simpsons! I'm the same way about the first few seasons. Those were the good ol days...Especially the first Christmas special lol. I had that on VHS as a kid and watched it a million times. Can probably act out the whole thing by memory "I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?"

 

[Cris_Agev]

These make me feel cozy:
The lord of the rings

While I like the first 10 season of the simpsons, from that set my most favorites are the first 4. I don't know how to describe it. Its like the jokes were more "inocent"? it has that family feeling and also they tried to give you some moral lessons at the end of some chapter, I liked that.

Jigoku Shoujo.

And babe! I loved this movie as a kid, for sure thats why it makes me feel good when I re-watch it.

When it comes to movies, it's probably a safe pick but the original Star Wars trilogy is always something I can watch as a good comfort and relax sort of thing too.

I don't dislike the prequel movies either, but the originals are just timeless to me.

 

[Segadude113]

Sonic SatAM, X-Men The Animated Series, Rurouni Kenshin, Animorphs, Trigun, Stargate SG-1, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball Z, BIg O, Farscape, Outlaw Star, Good Burger, A Goofy Movie, Shrek, Titan AE, Treasure Planet, Atlantis The Lost Empire, I like Shonen stuff and sci-fi stuff. :D

This Movie was something else man, i used to have very faint memories of watching it in 2007, however back in those days we didn't have much internet here in india. it wasnt until 2014 that i got to rewatch this movie properply

another one is fast and the furious the tokyo drift, the year was 2014 and i used to rewatch this near every day after coming home from classes, god i really wish 2014 could come back.

This might be slightly in a "so-bad-it's-good" sort of way..but SH Revelation 3D has kinda become that for me..
-and as a fan of Silent Hill; It sincerely made me angry on first watch how awful this was yet it's become something dumb I can throw on in the background whenever I want to turn my brain off for an hour or so and I've become weirdly endeared to it by this point <3

 

[AncientBehemoth]

I guess the one I re-watched the most Is Father Ted.

But there is Little Britain.

There is also The Young Ones.

And of course Mighty Boosh

Bliss (about an advertising executive who loves telling stories who has a near death experience on his birthday and now believes himself to be in hell)

Wow interesting movies, especially Bliss that really looks like Jacob's Ladder that inspired Silent Hill series lol.

As for the topic of this thread, TBH "comfort movies" and having "emotional attachment" are different things as I have some comfort movies that I watch for comfort, to relax and be in peace; not for emotionality but physical feeling-wise, but I cannot imagine myself having emotional attachment to anything that doesn't even live lol.

That being said my favourite comfort movies:

Howl's Moving Castle

Ocean Waves

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Uncharted (I don't even like the games lol)

When I'm tired from too much work again and I need a distraction or I'm in a good mood and wanna relax I just watch one of these movies. However I prefer comfort tv-series and animes instead of movies for binge watch fun again. Especially 10th Doctor's Doctor Who episodes and Magic Kaito 1412 and Little Witch Academia lol.

If I'm just looking for some haha funnies comfort:

All 3 of them.
And if I want comfort comfort:

Those are the main ones, have some other ones too but the main ones are these.

 

[AncientBehemoth]

Steptoe and Son

I've seen it, liked a lot. The theme is catchy, uncle remembering bombing of London was quite emotional. Definitely recommend for anyone who didn't watch it.

 

[TerquitelDes]

Detective Conan and Bobobo. Since I was a kid those accompany me. I could see them over and over again.

 

[PSVitaForever]

When I want/need to unwind I watch "Molang" and "Pucca"

The NeverEnding Story -- it's the movie I used to watch over and over and over again when I was a toddler.

M*A*S*H -- one of my favorite shows, its just comfy for me to watch. It can make me want to laugh and make me want to cry.

Arrested Development -- another one of my favorite shows. Its not the kind of funny that makes you laugh your ass off, it's the kind of funny that just has you grinning the whole time. It's so rewatchable because its easy to notice things you missed before.
