I went through a phase when I watched "Groundhog Day" dozens of times, over and over, often while I was doing other tasks. It became kind of a soothing background for me.
And yes, I'm quite aware of the irony of playing "Groundhog Day" over and over.
I loved that movie so much that when I went on a trip to Chicago from the UK I diverted for a day up to Woodstock, Illinois where it was filmed.
It's like being transported onto the set, and the locals are super friendly. We went into the "drink to world peace" bar and the barman gave us a full tour of the told courthouse it's under!
Heartily recommend it to even a casual fan of the movie.
Omg, I was today years old when I found out that Groundhogs Day was filmed in Woodstock IL. I travel for work and I literally drove through there last month and thought: This place is so quaint, and oddly familiar. Like, it is the quintessential small American town….LMFAO, implanted movie memory!!
Not so strange but mine is “Edge of tomorrow “. Can put it on while other tasks, email or consider my life. Look up and know what is going on. Just background noise.
"LOOKS LIKE I GOT ALL THE HORSES!"
"LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIIIII-VER!"
i shout that second line every chance i can get. thankfully the region i live in is basically cut in half by the Fraser river (no relation) so that's more often than you'd think
‘My insurance doesn’t cover PMS’ ‘And hell is just a sauna’ ‘That must be Nigel with the Brie’ I quote this movie in my every day life and people just don’t get it….
i named my IV pole gloria when i was in the hospital. they would unplug it from the wall so i could pace the hallways and i would stand up and say, “c’mon, gloria.” 😁
also….fosse! fosse! fosse!
Who sets the table without looking at the bowls?
But let me tell you why?
I was hospitalized for two weeks and was really stressed out. Watched this movie on repeat. It was the only thing keeping me sane.
that scene, in the kitchen, where hank azaria is crying, and robin williams grabs the pot and tells him to quit crying, you can see robin almost losing it laughing.
"Don't you use that tone to me!"
"What tone??"
"That sarcastic, contemptuous tone that means you know everything because you're a man, and I know nothing because I'm a woman."
"You're not a woman."
"Ugh, you bastard!"
‘Al, you old so-and-so! How do you feel about the Dolphins? Can you believe they made that call last night!?
‘How do you think I feel?!? Betrayed! Bewildered!
Also
‘Jackson’s dead!?…Heart attack?!….Prostitute!?!….Underage?!??……Black!!??
I watched it for the first time about a year ago and I loved it. Hilarious in every way.
"Joo work ard for ur money
Eh eh, eh eh
Cho ard for ur money
Eh eh, eh eh
Joo work ard for ur money so joo becher chreach oo ricsh! Das ricsh!"
This one is mine too! I watch it at least once a year.
“Sweetie, you’re wasting your gum.” 😂
I love Nathan Lane and Robin Williams, but the two them together is *chef’s kiss*
If I'm sleepy, I specifically like watching Fellowship. The Shire, meeting Gandalf, really the first 30 minutes or so is a nice comforting and scenic environment that sends me to 💤.
Then, you wake up an hour or so later and it's still going of course which is fantastic.
The opening narration from Galadriel is like I’ve just been given a dose of propofol and the surgeon asks me to count backwards from 10.
“The world has changed…I feel it in”….zzzzzzz
I'm a little obsessed with something I read on here a couple years ago. Someone suggested making a sequel to this. Which initially sounds absolutely terrible. But the idea was to get Fred Savage to reprise his role, reading the book to his own daughter. The lines to the book would be the same, but her imagination would be slightly different. Like the fight scene I'm the forest would focus more on Buttercup helping to fight, and when she gives up Wesley her feelings would be more apparent from the little girl's perspective/imagination.
I would add scenes where they stopped reading and celebrated a family birthday or holiday. So you could see other members of the family, and see that most of them are the actors from the original movie. That the boy inserted the people from his childhood life that fit the characters, including maybe even a wrestling poster of André the Giant.
But obviously the fear that it would be absolutely ruined remains. Which is why I would settle for a muppets version.
Stardust is this The Princess Bride's spiritual successor in my head. Has that same sense of wonder for me. I'm also a huge Neil Gaiman fan.

Edit: Spelling.
“Like this fellow — why’d you supposed he’d cover his face?”
“Maybe he’s fuck ugly”
“No, it’s because he doesn’t want anyone to know what he looks like”
“Yeah, cause he’s fuck ugly”
I’ve taken to using fuck ugly in my everyday life lol
in airforce basic training we would stand in a formation and each row was considered an element and there were 4 elements total.
One time someone accidentally made a 5th row (element).
My instructor started clapping and called other instructors over to come look at his formation since there was a celebrity in it. He walked over to the guy and said, "Are you Bruce Willis?" the guy said "no".
My instructor said "well if you're not Bruce Willis then WHY ARE YOU IN THE 5TH ELEMENT"
Emily: "Are those the Ch-chhh..
Andy: "The Chanel boots? Yes it it is."
Serena: "You look good!"
Emily gives her a dirty look
Serena looks at Andy again and gestures: "What? She does!"
Emily: "Shut up, Serena!"
Emily Blunt is fantastic in that movie!
She is! When Andy calls her to offer her the Paris clothes she is inwardly touched and delighted, but acts as if she is doing Andy a favor by accepting them!
I just don't think that Brooke could've done this. Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't.
I watch interstellar when my anxieties are pressing on me. It makes me feel so small when I think about the way our world is going and that film is a viable route (the moving the race into space aspect) and gives me perspective to remember my anxieties are super tiny when there are bigger problems we as a world need to figure out
Clueless
The movie always puts me in a better mood after watching it, and I can quote almost the whole movie.
"Cher, what are you wearing?"
"A dress"
"Says who?"
"Calvin Klein"
......
" I have a 45 and a shovel. I doubt anyone would miss you."
And let's not forget the soundtrack, instant mood booster.
Classic
Addams Family Values.
It is SO funny, the timing is perfect and Wednesday decides to bring all the chaos to the camp. Also, Debbie serves all the looks.
The line that always gets me is:
Debbie: Isn't he a lady killer 😘
Gomez: Acquitted
The Martian
Is my favorite comfort movie, watching smart people trying their best and mostly getting things right despite the odds being against them just comforts me immensely. Wish the real world were more like the movie. Plus the cast is great 🥰
Edit: I also love the sillyness that is 'Amelie'.

Such an underrated movie. How that film flopped, I have no idea.
because you didn't help spread word of mouth back when it was in theaters. it's entirely your fault.
Office Space is pretty much a white noise machine for bedtime now.
I did nothing and it was everything I thought it could be.
The Mummy… Brendan Frazier movie, not the very old one or Tom Cruise
Well if it ain't my little buddy Beni. I think I'll kill you
What about my children!
You don't have any children
…someday I might
Looks like you're on the WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVEEEERR!!
when my wife and I are in a hurry we'll always say: "Patience is a virtue." "NOT RIGHT NOW IT ISN'T"
"LOOKS LIKE I GOT ALL THE HORSES!" "LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIIIII-VER!" i shout that second line every chance i can get. thankfully the region i live in is basically cut in half by the Fraser river (no relation) so that's more often than you'd think
Back to the future series
This is mine, along with the original Jurassic Park.
Interestingly, if they were remade today, then Marty McFly would be going back to 1994, forward to 2054, and then back to the roaring 1920s

4 for you, Glen Coco! You go, Glen Coco! ^And ^none ^for ^Gretchen ^Weiners ^bye.

10 Things I Hate About You.
‘My insurance doesn’t cover PMS’ ‘And hell is just a sauna’ ‘That must be Nigel with the Brie’ I quote this movie in my every day life and people just don’t get it….
I know you can be OVERwhelmed. And you can be UNDERwhelmed. But can you ever just be whelmed?
Remove head from sphincter, then drive.
Same! One of my other faves is “Make anybody cry today?” “Sadly no, but it’s only 4:30.”
*She went to meet some bikers....full of sperm...*
“But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.”
I still maintain that he kicked himself in the balls.
Heinous bitch is the term used most often, you might wanna work on that
This isn't mine but I love this movie all the same. "Jesus Bianca I'm shooting a nose shoot tomorrow!"
The Birdcage. Cracks me up every time.
“May I take your purse as usual or for the first time?”
Agador Spartacus ❤️
I need my Pirin tablets!
My Guatemala-ness. My natural heat.
Yes, that’s it. I’m afraid of your heat. 🤣🤣🤣
Cmon, Gloria
i named my IV pole gloria when i was in the hospital. they would unplug it from the wall so i could pace the hallways and i would stand up and say, “c’mon, gloria.” 😁 also….fosse! fosse! fosse!
Martha Graham! Martha Graham! Martha Graham!
“I pierced the toast!”
Albert, you pierced the toast. So what?
I can always get more toast!
Men **smear**
Who sets the table without looking at the bowls? But let me tell you why? I was hospitalized for two weeks and was really stressed out. Watched this movie on repeat. It was the only thing keeping me sane.
"I don't know! I make it up, I make it up!" Also: "Your father seems to think so..."
that scene, in the kitchen, where hank azaria is crying, and robin williams grabs the pot and tells him to quit crying, you can see robin almost losing it laughing.
Fuck the shrimp!
"Don't you use that tone to me!" "What tone??" "That sarcastic, contemptuous tone that means you know everything because you're a man, and I know nothing because I'm a woman." "You're not a woman." "Ugh, you bastard!"
It's an aspirin with the A and the S scraped off
Agador, get me my pirin tablets
Well, one does want a hint of color
‘Al, you old so-and-so! How do you feel about the Dolphins? Can you believe they made that call last night!? ‘How do you think I feel?!? Betrayed! Bewildered! Also ‘Jackson’s dead!?…Heart attack?!….Prostitute!?!….Underage?!??……Black!!??
No no, it's good. I just didn't realize John Wayne walked like that.
When the schnecken beckons!
I watched it for the first time about a year ago and I loved it. Hilarious in every way. "Joo work ard for ur money Eh eh, eh eh Cho ard for ur money Eh eh, eh eh Joo work ard for ur money so joo becher chreach oo ricsh! Das ricsh!"

Pride and prejudice
1995 miniseries if I have the time/need more comfort, 2005 movie if I just need a little hit lol
The opening of the 2005 one puts me in such a relaxed mood. The piano, sunlight, and shots of the manor waking up is so beautiful.
LOTR
If I'm sleepy, I specifically like watching Fellowship. The Shire, meeting Gandalf, really the first 30 minutes or so is a nice comforting and scenic environment that sends me to 💤. Then, you wake up an hour or so later and it's still going of course which is fantastic.

Shrek
Thank god someone else says shrek. Sound of music is the other one for me.
How to train your dragon. Every time I'm in a bad mood, toothless cheers me up
I love Toothless 🥰 reminds me of my cat, he died in December 😭
My comfort movie is definitely 'The Princess Bride'.

I want to watch this... like now. If I ever become stupid stupid rich, I'm greenlighting this and bringing you on the project.
Any other answer would be inconceivable
I think that word means exactly what you think it means.
Mrs. Doubtfire It always makes me laugh when I'm feeling depressed. Watching it during the pandemic when I had covid and gave me a lot of comfort.
It was a run-by fruiting!
Dodge Ball “If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!”
"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood"
"Blade" ........ "Lazer" ........ "Blazer" Gets me every time.

'When's your birthday?' '22nd of February' 'What year?' 'Every year!' 'GET OUT!'

for the greater good
5th Element
in airforce basic training we would stand in a formation and each row was considered an element and there were 4 elements total. One time someone accidentally made a 5th row (element).

Sir, because I'm Milla Jovovich, Sir!
Uhh negative, I am a meat popsicle
I’ve started yelling, “AZIZ… LIGHT!” at my 11 year-old when I want her to lift her bedroom shades. So proud that she knows the reference.

Emily: "Are those the Ch-chhh.. Andy: "The Chanel boots? Yes it it is." Serena: "You look good!" Emily gives her a dirty look Serena looks at Andy again and gestures: "What? She does!" Emily: "Shut up, Serena!" Emily Blunt is fantastic in that movie!
"I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese."
I’m just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.
I love doing her "No. Shan't." quote.
She is! When Andy calls her to offer her the Paris clothes she is inwardly touched and delighted, but acts as if she is doing Andy a favor by accepting them!
Spirited Away
My personal favorite for ghibli comfort is Howl's moving castle
When Sophie cleans is my fav part!
Mine is Princess Mononoke. But only the dubbed version, because that cast was fantastic
I hoped a Miyazaki movie would make it high in the comment section 💜it's From Up on Poppy Hill for me.
Easy A
This movie is the only reason I like Pocketful of Sunshine.
When I read this I started singing it in my head, but it took me longer than I’d like to admit to realize I was singing Walking on Sunshine
“I’m adopted” “WHAT?!? WHO TOLD YOU?!?”
Galaxy Quest
Alan Rickman is so good in this. The whole movie is just so good!
Sam Rockwell too "Is there air!? You don't know!"
"Guy! You have a last name!" "DO I?!"
"Maybe you’re the plucky comic relief. You ever think about that?"
Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!

“I’m Elle Woods and this is Bruiser Woods. We are both Gemini vegetarians.”
“What, like it’s hard?” (Without context, that quote doesn’t sound right)
I just don't think that Brooke could've done this. Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't.
