What's your ultimate 'comforting hug' film?

[LajesticVantrashell]

I've got a mild hangover after Christmas drinks last night, DH has his works Christmas do tonight and I cannot wait just to snuggle on the sofa in my PJ's with a pizza once DS is in bed.

I want to watch an old familiar film which I've seen before, which I don't have to concentrate on and which will sooth my achy post hangover body.

What is your top re-watch film for situations like this? My brain is too frazzled to think!!

Ghost

Untamed Heart. Slushy film great for Xmas with Christian Slater and Marisa Tomei.

Following As this is my exact plan for tonight too

It's a Wonderful Life.
It's my favourite and I save it for Xmas Eve (I ban myself from watching it at other times as I don't want to sicken myself to it, and it makes my Xmas Eve extra special) Its such a lovely movie

Local Hero, gentle story, lovely setting.

Ten things I hate about you. The Knight’s Tale. Heath Ledger in both of them I’ve only just realised!

Oh, or mean girls.

Say Anything
Dirty Dancing
When Harry met Sally
Pretty in Pink
Almost Famous

Those are my faves

Last of the Mohicans. That bit behind the waterfall gets me every time.

How to lose a guy in ten days

I was going to say The Holiday.

Bridesmaids,
Bride Wars,
Four Christmases,
Step Brothers,
Groundhog day,
Santa Claus 1/2/3.
Any version of a Christmas Carol or Scrooged.
Christmas with the kranks,
Gremlins.

Also, Lucy.

If I want a marathon, I watch Gone with the wind.

The Holiday
Love Actually
The Notebook
You’ve Got Mail
Sleepless in Seattle

Particularly loving the cheesy Christmas films on one of the Sky channels at the moment too

Billy Elliot

Shirley Valentine ... no contest. ".... I used to be the mother, I used to be the wife.. now I'm Shirley Valentine again"

.... " I er.. take you on brother's boat... fishing's fishing, fucking's fucking... I er not fuck with you Shir..er..ley Valentine...."

Best film ever... the ending where her husband Joe turns up fully suited and booted and walks right past Shirley because he doesn't recognise the new relaxed woman in front of him... the only film I watch and then book a holiday to a Greek Island

Bridget Jones!

While you were sleeping. Perfect Christmassy rom com that is actually funny and warm

And Practical magic!

The Sixth Sense

The Devil Wears Prada
Mean Girls

Pleasant I'll

Blooming autocorrect Pleasantville sorry

The old black & white Scrooge from 1951 with Alastair Sim.
