Re: Favorite comfort movie?

Attenborough's 'Gandhi' is the first one to come to mind, not sure it's the one and only favorite, I have a hard time picking one 'best' with things and there are quite a few movies I can watch most any time. But any time TCM is playing 'Gandhi', which they do fairly often, I'll watch. I can put in a disc any time and watch it.

Road House. One of those movies I can watch and enjoy every time if it's on when I happen to be flipping through channels in the middle of the night.

Thought of another one - 'Wonder Boys'. I can watch that any time.

^ Good one. There was a couple years there where I'd go back and forth between Wonder Boys and Almost Famous as my two biggest comfort movies.

I will watch until the end Real Genius, The Big Lebowski, Flash Gordon, and Erin Brockovich if I find them at any point while flipping through channels.

If I feel cruddy, I watch this movie and it cheers me up. Most of my other favorites (things like Brazil, Blue Velvet, etc) don't work well for that.

Gone Baby Gone...not sure why, but whenever I want to watch something, but am not in the mood for a specific type of film, this one always gets pulled off the shelf.
