Dawn of the Dead, when I need to pretend the world is ending.
Tombstone, because it’s fucking awesome. I can recite this movie, I’ve watched it so many times.
Supertroopers, also pretty close to recitation status.
Tropic Thunder, when I need to see shit blown up.
Casablanca, because it has some of the best dialogue in cinematic history.
Titus Andronicus, because sometimes you just need to watch everyone die.
Hot Fuzz, because do I really need to explain why I love this movie?
HTTYD, because pure escapism.
Let’s Be Cops, because this movie never fails to make me laugh no matter how bad my mood might be.
Love Actually, when I need to laugh and cry. Also, Alan Rickman.
John Wick, because sometimes you need to see some justice when the world is lacking.
Shawn of the Dead, because it’s my fave zombie movie.
The Fifth Element, because I never get tired of the Diva scene. Or any other part, really.
Mr. Right, because this movie somehow restores my hope and faith in the weird goodness of people.
Dogma, because Alan Rickman. I should have included the Harry Potter movies in this list.
The Fuckin Goonies! I’ve had this movie memorized since my teen years.
And the newest addition to my list, Thor Ragnarok. This flick is hilarious and perfect for when I’m low.
Dog tax: my cuddle bug. Sad, frustrated, depleted, sick, defeated, he’s always ready with the cuddles. EDIT: holy shit, guys, you’ve mentioned so many good movies that I missed and several that I don’t know. Thank you! Time to watch some new movies! And you all never fail to bring a smile to my face. I love this community.

"Sex is a joke in Heaven?" "From what I hear, it's mostly a joke down here too." I was just thinking about this line the other day.
LickFury
Also, Robin Hood cause of Alan Rickman
whywasntiborn200yearsinthefuture
Shit, yes.
iamtheknockerofwhos

putzd63304
Im thinking #comfortmovies needs to be a tag...for future reference, of course...
popebadass
Solid. Titus Andronicus is an outside pic, but a great film as are most of the others. +1
BigTruckRegularPenis
Fifth Element, all time favorite. My brother bought Bevis and Butthead tickets and snuck us in to Fifth Element. It was meant to be my fave.
FlatPlutoSociety
My go-to when I'm feeling down isn't a movie, it's a cartoon. Gravity Falls never fails to cheer me up.

This is a very good selection of movies! Especially the last two, I also have the Goonies memorized. Your my kind of people
iamtheknockerofwhos
Thor Ragnarock along with Guardians of the Galaxy are my go to marvel movies
darthbuttersticks
Brazil! For when you need to chuckle at how bleak and messed up the world can be.
LurkyMcLurker
Might as well watch "the worlds end" since you have the other two movies.
shimmernshine
And then Scott Pilgrim and Baby Driver to complete Edgar Wright's body of work.
qwiggles
Well, these movies make a whole lot more sense now.
causality
The Great Outdoors, 12 Angry Men, Jurassic Park
Hulagirl01
Anything with John Candy.
DrDadJokes
Dredd for a tower trip
Cryhavoc247
Dogma. Showed it to ultra religious, catholic friend while deployed. We are no longer friends. Worth it.
whywasntiborn200yearsinthefuture
Fuck yeah, always worth it.
ChaotikWolfi
HTTYD... my favourite animated film ever since the first time I got to see it~
RedLanternGrodd
Good list. I'd include The Mummy, Die Hard, Pitch Black, Jurassic Park on my own list.
whywasntiborn200yearsinthefuture
Dude, great list! I love the Mummy!
Metallica93
Man, 'Pitch Black' (and 'Alien'/'Aliens') scared the fuck out of me growing up. Those creatures were brutal as fuck.

Mr. Right is such a good fucking movie
HypnoCT
My wife and I discovered it last year. A true hidden gem
janetspots
Yas!!!
CentsVern7
Definitely underrated and unknown as well
PartlyClauddy
Sam Rockwell is an actor who is so entertaining that if he's in the movie I'll watch it.
whywasntiborn200yearsinthefuture
YES
Roune
I first watched it because of Anna Kendrick but fell in love with the movie because of him. He made the movie perfect

This movie never fails to make me feel better when I’m depressed. I love it so much
SunnySarah20
My bf & I we’re really surprised by how much we loved it
CarlottaVonSprockett
My sister loves Sam Rockwell. I tried to tell her about this film, but no idea where she can watch it? Where does it stream?
nonyabiness
It's on Hulu if you have showtime/HBO addons
CarlottaVonSprockett
Thanks!
milkybar42
Currently on Netflix or amazon (can't remember which) in the uk if your this side of the world
CarlottaVonSprockett
I’m not, but thanks anyway. She probably has a VPN so she could “be” in the UK lol.
milkybar42
*you're
NameOfRandomThingOnDesk
You can watch it with an HBO subscription. And for future reference justwatch dot com shows what services have what movies/tv shows.
CarlottaVonSprockett
Thanks!
BrainTaffy
Brilliant thanks mate
Cheddarthor90
If I may suggest an amazing comedy for your list? Tucker and Dale VS Evil, it is phenomenally funny.
PriestofThor
Also, Cabin in the Woods
MarvelousTermites
Watched it for the first time last night. Hilarious film!
bigfatmadcowmoo
Why are there no reaction gifs for TADVE?!?! Such a good recommendation cheddarthor90

"wanna play Get Help?"
Nepeta33
may i suggest the princess bride? theres a shortage of perfect movies in this world. would be a shame to forget this one.
GoddammitMrNoodle
As you wish.
randomthoughts44
There also a shame if they try to remake this perfect movie
Bcrafty
True wov for this movie!
Chenganator
Alright for those unfamiliar with Titus Andronicus, it's just Shakespeare with an extra large order of death and depression.
Cucumberclouds
This movie is death on steroids. Deathiest of all Shakespear's work imo
Timmy79
Yep, people might know the romances, comedies, and tragedies, but some Shakespeare stuff is like John Wick directed by Tarantino.
shimmernshine
And the film was executive produced by Steve Bannon. Yes, THAT Steve Bannon.
AquilaJM
By far his greatest play. Its just so wonderfully brutal.
Metallica93
I don't think I've heard anyone ever call that his greatest play, lol. Interesting opinion there. I respect it.
Ceness
Agreed.
gifOfSamRockwellDancing
My ultimate warm blanket movie is Tommy Boy
Lounatik
I really dig the Dawn of the Dead remake. Excellent "Reimagining" of the original.
Ishtrall
I always had such a weird liking to this movie. Same for Army of the dead...But don't watch Diary and Island of the dead..they are wrong..
Metallica93
Not a Snyder fan, but the man knows how to make a fucking intro credits scene. That use of 'When The Man Comes Around' is fucking haunting.
darkdragonempress
His after credits scene kind of ruined things for me. The movie ended perfectly. Ambiguous but kinda hopeful.
Metallica93
I don't think the movie holds up that well, regardless, but I was hoping a darker sequel would have been released with that ending.
AdamGenesis
It keeps the John Romero theme that there are no happy endings. You hope they make it, but everything goes to shit.
darkdragonempress
I love zombies and Romero, but I don’t like the no possible happy endings. And the weak female leads troupe. The remakes help correct the 1
darkdragonempress
The latter, so I often hope they correct the former. 2
AxingForADownvote
No snatch or lock stock and two smoking barrels?
whywasntiborn200yearsinthefuture
Ok, shit, these are fucking excellent flicks, but they’re not my go-to when I’m sick or emotionally worn out.
AxingForADownvote
That's true, but a good laugh is always good. "ya like dags?"
thevortexmaster
For me it's Willow, Transformers the Animated Movie, Big Trouble in Little China, and the Dark Crystal
Youregonnaneedabiggerboat
Love Transformers the animated movie, the death scene always gets me though... Too many feels...
Kilgrave
I hope you’ve been watching Age Of Resistance.
thevortexmaster
Oh God I binged the hell out of that. Just awesome
whywasntiborn200yearsinthefuture
Good list, Willow is the shit.

What about LOTR?! God I just love it so much. It’s my favorite ever. (Hobbit movies not included* /sigh)

Most people don't have that kind of time.

Have you seen that Hasbro is finally producing a movie-accurate Unicron? You'll have to take out a mortgage to buy it.

Dark crystal as a comfort movie?
thevortexmaster
Hahaha I'm an odd one
TellusEidolon
I mean, more power to you for that! :)
thevortexmaster
Thanks! I think it's just the nostalgia aspect
TellusEidolon
Fair enough. I honestly don't know what my list would include. Never really thought of It.
PriestofThor
Are you almost 40 too?

Then who cares? I just hate the stupid little aches and pains that start popping up.

Same.
JudgeReg904
Im not sure if there is a better Kurt Russell film than Big Trouble in Little China
thevortexmaster
Toss up between that and The Thing for me
Shelby306
Overboard.
Piscivore
Chris Pratt does a dead on Kurt Russell voice in Lego 2
Metallica93
'The Thing', 'Tombstone', 'Tango & Cash' (for me, anyway), 'Stargate', 'Miracle'. Granted, I'm literally watching 'Big Trouble' right now...
chevymatt759
Soldier.... he was great in that... and am also watching "big trouble" now....
mattchew55b
Great list! Add Robin Hood with Kevin Costner and The Princess Bride and you have a comfort sweep.
thevortexmaster
I'm one of those weird people that has never been into the Princess Bride. Not sure why
33SHow23
I'm not gonna downvote you, but I'm disappointed in you - which is worse.
mattchew55b
I concur.
thevortexmaster
I know. I also never liked Firefly, and I liked the Last Airbender. I'm an odd one
snowglobejobe
I also love the 80's. The Goonies is my designated rainy day movie.
thevortexmaster
Great show!
thevortexmaster
How about The Monster Squad?
fartytowels
I loved that movie so much as a kid. I also developed an odd crush on Dracula for some reason.
thevortexmaster
Hahaha who wouldn't!
snowglobejobe
Goonies with monsters. It's another favorite.
thevortexmaster
Yes!
