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!!

Black Christmas!

One fine day. Also Harry Potter and philosophers stone

So many good films mentioned, I like a lot of them.
One of my favourites is walk the line.

Working Girl is one of my all time favs. Thanks to whoever mentioned Shirley Valentine..I've just watched it and loved it. I relate to everything!!!!

RED

For this time of year muppet Christmas Carol, miracle on 34th street or home alone

Any other time of year - when Harry met sally, clueless, mean girls, the house bunny, legally blonde, good morning Vietnam, Forrest Gump, patch Adams

So much love for The Holiday in this thread!

@Gobelinoisawitchescat I got my copy ages ago, but it's still available at a few places:

Amazon, HMV etc have a special edition, too.

Labyrinth. Definitely. The balldress! David Bowie’s tight, tight, tights! “You have no power over me!” “You remind me of the babe”. It is a hug in celluloid form.

When Harry Met Sally
Bridget Jones (first one)
Grease
Saturday Night Fever
Shirley Vallentine
Die Hard (first one)
Sense and Sensibility
Howard's End

Oh yes Jaws - I fucking love Roy Schneider ♥️

It's complicated, Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, food porn, property porn. What's not to like!

While You Were Sleeping
Local Hero
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
Muppets Christmas Carol
Clueless
Most of the Jane Austen adaptations
Little Women
Bridget Jones' Diary
When Harry Met Sally
Nativity (1st)
Shelter (2007 Californian surfing)
Howard's End
Carry On

What is it about The Holiday? It’s a terrible film that made little impact when it was released, and yet...I am another one who enjoys an occasional rewatch.

However, I would vote for The Princess Bride.

Princess bride!
I've loved this film for decades!

Also stranger than fiction. Excellent film with a straight performance from will Ferrell.

I always like The Holiday :).

Muriel’s Wedding

Dirty Dancing
Mickey Blue Eyes
Four Weddings and a funeral
Then my more up to date ones
God's own Country
Handsome Devil
Call me by your name

Billy Elliot

Confetti. So funny, especially when you know it was mostly improvised and really leaves you with s warm feeling.

When Harry met Sally
Its a wonderful life
Last of the Mohicans
Forest Gump
The chess players
Celine and Julie go boating

Very different films and all excellent.

Oh at this time of year, Gremlins, the best Christmas film
