Movie Mom blogger Neil Minow put together a list of the top Comfort Movies--flicks that go down just right on those no-good, crummy, sniffling, sneezing days. Not a bad list, and hard to quibble with something as idiosyncratic as this. But what are your favorite movies for days like that?
My five faves, in no particular order:
(Ok, so I like my comfort a little on the morbid side.)
Add to Del.icio.us
Add to Technorati
Add to Digg
Add to Newsvine
Add to Facebook
Add to StumbleUpon
I have to agree with some that have been mentioned.
Princess Bride
Rudy (I am a sucker for that movie)
Band of Brothers
Warren Miller's 'Off The Grid' (any Warren Miller movie)
DOA (The one with Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan)
Man it is hard to limit yourself to only five, but right now those are what comes to mind...Tomorrow it might be different.
I agree re. Bottle Rocket. Also enjoy Galaxy Quest but since I'm limited to five I wouldn't put it on my list.
it also depends on what kind of crummy day I'm having, but here are some old reliables that always cheer me up:
Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein
Some Like It Hot
Guys & Dolls
Truly Madly Deeply (only if I want to be cheered up AND cry copious tears)
The Man Who Knew Too Little (an underrated and hysterical Bill Murray movie)
I love all these suggestions! I am sorry I had to limit my list to 10 as I had a lot of runners-up. Maybe I'll make it an annual tradition.
(Oh, and can you please correct the spelling of my name? Nell Minow -- and many thanks for mentioning my gallery.)
Sorry, Neil! Fixed now.
