That one that helps you sleep, or that you could watch a thousand times?

Mine is the 1970s animated version of The Hobbit.

Only ever had one, kinda. Though I'm not sure I'd call it comfortable? But it's... visceral, which is mildy amusing because it's trying to be cerebrial, but too much of the dialogue is just scattered quotes and philosophy references. Anyways, the movie is Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. The second one that was directed by Mamoru Oshii. These days, I don't get anything out of watching it anymore. I watched it one too many times. But I've never taken to any movie like I did that one, so, it wins.

In no particular order:

  • Sahara
  • Hercules (1997 animated version)
  • Mulan (1998 animated version)
  • 27 Dresses
  • Jurassic Park (although probably not for sleeping given all the screaming, lol)

Could watch a thousand times: Grease.

Either Rain Man, Rocky Horror Picture Show, or Clue, depending on how I'm feeling that day.

Comfort movie: Matilda

Movie I could watch 1000 times: The Lion King (1994)

I could curl up with that movie and a warm blanket if I had the flu. I wouldn’t necessarily choose it, but I wouldn’t resist it, either.

Many family movies also work. Plus Scooby doo for some reason.

The Curse of the Golden Flower. I never get tired of watching it.
