What's your ultimate 'comforting hug' film?

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!!

Groundhog Day!!

It’s not a Christmas film, but Roman Holiday is wonderful!

Otherwise, It’s a Wonderful Life is my favourite Christmas film.

@Tanith is there anywhere you can find Me Blunden! Would love to watch that again.

@phlebasconsidered untamed heart is one of my favourite films and nobody ever has seen it!

PortNStilton · 06/12/2019 17:33

The Family Man. It’s Christmassy, too.
Also the only film I can stomach Nicholas Cage in...

The Wedding Singer for me - just love that film so much! Failing that, Grease, or, an old Carry On movie - yes, I know they're dated and not very PC, but there's something quite comforting and familiar about those (for me, anyway!)

The Wedding Singer for me too - absolutely love it. Four Weddings always good too.

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 17:56

Would definitely agree about Clueless and ET. Delicious the TV series is also sooo comforting.

Hate The Wedding Singer and everything with Adam Sandler.🤮

Cutesbabasmummy · 06/12/2019 17:58

Love Actually for me too. I've been feeling down and watched it this arvo doing housework and it has cheered me up!

evilharpy · 06/12/2019 17:59

Rosemary’s Baby.

Don’t laugh. I love it and have seen it a million times.

My friend’s favourite comfort film is The Terminator Grin

AwkwardSquad · 06/12/2019 18:00

@MorvaanReed I love Local Hero. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out. It’s a delightful film.

My comfort watching would include quite a few of the suggestions already made, and Spirited Away or My Neighbour Totoro

golddustwomen · 06/12/2019 18:01

My go to feel good film is 50 first dates! 'Ooooo you crazy biiiitch' I laugh out loud every time I think about it.
