Favorite comfort movie?

Re: Favorite comfort movie?
Too many to list - essentially, just about any 50s/60s SF/horror film, 30s-50s Screwball comedies, Laurel & Hardy, The Three Stooges, The Little Rascals, 30s-50s swashbucklers, any adventure film with Errol Flynn, and dozens of random titles across the decades.

The Emperor’s New Groove. We quote it all the time and it’s very comforting to watch when we’re feeling bad.
Also, The Princess Bride and SpaceBalls.

Maybe just me but the movies I really like Empire Strikes Back, Superman 1 and 2, Scarface, Godfather 1 and 2, Taxi Driver, Cape Fear, and Back to the Future 1 and 2 I don't watch them a lot and maybe only until a new video format comes out DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K etc.

Nobody and the Deadpool movies are comfort for me as well.

Lately for me it's movies like Moneyball or The Big Short. The patter of the dialogue is very calming to me and they are fantastic films too.

I agree with Decker on Almost Famous, that's just a nice, warm blanket of a movie for me.

Looking back maybe we shouldn't have all replied with just images. 
A lot of people's ideas of a comfort movie certainly are quite a bit different than mine.
A lot of good ones though. I'll add:
Big Fish
Marry Poppins
The Sound of Music
The Empire Strikes Back

Pretty much any 50's Sci-fi film. They can be good or bad....one of the very worst, The Astounding She-Monster, is one of the most comforting.

Whenever I want to feel good I usually watch the Star Wars OT theatrical cuts. Also, Serenity is one that I can put on at any time.
