Haven't watched in years, so may have not aged well, but old Brit/Irish comedies like The Full Monty, Waking Ned or The Commitments might also be good.

Very dated now, but strictly ballroom was a good film back in the 90s when I wanted to watch something light as a teen.

@GnomeDePlume I completely agree with you about Gosford Park. Adore that film and despite the subject matter, the setting, the location and the time of year make it so cozy.

Any Jane Austen adaptation (except P&P 2005 which just annoys me).

And YES to When Harry Met Sally. I too can quote it verbatim too.
Sally (talking about her days of the week underpants): "They don't make Sunday."
Harry: "Why not?"
Sally (solemnly): "Because of God."

I do love the Grand Budapest Hotel. If I watch it a few more times it's likely to make it onto the comfort list.

Dr. Zhivago is brilliant.

Both Best Exotic Marigold Hotel films
The Italian Job (slightly prefer the new version)
Eat, Pray, Love

Er, please don't take this the wrong way, but why do you prefer the second version of the Italian Job?

Until you mentioned that, I hadn't realised that the Italian Job (V1) was a top comfort film for me. Caine! Benny Hill! Noel Coward! Scenery! Cars! Soundtrack! Plot! Ending! etc.

dimples76 · 16/10/2024 11:42

While You Were Sleeping
Hallmark Christmas films
Guys & Dolls

icouldholditwithacobweb · 16/10/2024 11:38

The Grand Budapest Hotel (fun, quirky, love Wes Anderson)
Magic Mike XXL (if I need a mood lift, this does it every time!)
Bridesmaids & Deadpool 1 or 2 (all good for a laugh)

MrsHemswoth · 16/10/2024 11:38

Bridget Jones, the Holiday, Notting Hill, love Actually, Bridesmaids
