third vote for about a boy

added plus for me is that a lot of it was filmed around where I live, so a lot of door & building spotting going on.

Oh I love About a Boy! That's definitely a comfort film of mine. Such a good soundtrack too... I miss that London.

But I mean, if we're talking real comfort needed, like I'm on the floor... its got to be Disney Robin Hood. The fox. The. Fox.

Quite a lot of those mentioned, but also most of the Star Trek films.
