What's the movie equivalent of a hug?

I need one. I have a severe cold and I'm so sore and weak I can barely move and my mental health has crashed. (Small violin playing in the distance)

Yesterday I lay on the couch and watched all of Gandhi and today I'd like something easy or gentle to watch that doesn't require me to try to remember fifty plot points and relationships. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

I'm full of cold too and watched Dumplin this evening, it's easy to watch, full of great country songs and cheered me up.

Thank you all so much. I'm happy to have so many to choose from, and I've watched and enjoyed a few since. Happy and sad films are both fine. The most important criteria was that I didn't have to use too much of my brain to watch them as I don't have the energy, physical or mental.
