comfort movies

When Harry Met Sally
Groundhog Day

Both films I've seen an inordinate number of times.
I rather imagine The Apartment and Gilda are films I could do this with as well.

Oh, I meant to say Annie Hall too.

Maid in Manhattan. Admitting this has produced catharsis of such power you could use it to blow up the moon. Also, in an attempt to retrieve the little scraps of shame and pride on the floor - The Man Who Would Be King and Dead of Night.

Can't Stop the Music

Gotta be Tenebre, Deep Red, Videodrome and Assault on Precinct 13.

Brick.

Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club

Yes yes yes. I also have Point Break on my list. Such a great movie. And Fast Times @ RH.

Also, up to a point I could enjoy The Proposal but god damn Reynolds has such a putty (?) face. And of course the plot. God damn.

Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory
An American Tail
Goonies
Steel Magnolias (but only if I am in the mood to cry, talk about waterworks)

Pixar movies tend to get me all amped up! They are like calculated to tweak my emotions.
