The first Twilight - I don't even like it that much but it is an excellent comfort film.

Also, Volcano which is so terrible it's good. I'm hoping they make a sequel with Don Cheadle in Tommy Lees place.

I recently re watched Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and the Worlds end which also make quite good comfort films.

Teen DD loves The Truman Show and I know when she's had a rough day if she's watching that. Also Austin Powers is a big hit for her too which surprises me as she's very PC and it's very Not PC.

any of the three will make me happy and comfort me when I’m sad. I had Notting Hill on last week when DS2 got home from rugby training and despite the fact that I was smiling he immediately asked what was wrong!
