That one that helps you sleep, or that you could watch a thousand times?
Mine is the 1970s animated version of The Hobbit.
Joe versus the Volcano. It’s not that it makes me necessarily appreciate my life, but it makes me appreciate the world as it is and to be content no matter what shit I’m in. The universe is bigger than my troubles.
Pans Labyrinth
I especially love that it’s one of the few dark fantasy movies natively made in Spanish. Fun fact, the faun speaks medieval Spanish
I read this as “What’s your comfort move?” Now I want that list too, whatever it may be.
Fap.
But seriously, crawling into my bed (possibly with a good book) and just imagining that this warm soft place is my entire universe and anything outside it is not my problem.
This is how I felt when at the hospital during a years long battle with addiction. The hospital was my safe space.
The Mummy
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Made back when walt disney was still alive. It’s got that magic thats been long lost. With so much going on in this world it’s nice to step back and enjoy simple things with childlike wonder. Highly recommended!
God Bless America
Howl’s Moving Castle, but really any Hayao Myazaki film.
Totoro for me
- Hackers
- Kiki’s Delivery Service
- Whisper of the Heart
- Star Trek IV
Honorable mention: The Search for Animal Chin
Oh man I had a roommate who fell asleep to movies. Never understood it. Ill take some nice sound things like light thunderstorm sounds and no light.
Not a movie, but mysteries at the museum puts me to sleep every time. They reuse the same overblown words for everything so it winds up that every single item they talk about sounds alike. Between that repetition and the guys metronomic cadence and almost whispery voice, puts me to sleep every time.
Hackers. I like to put it on when I’m doing stuff around the house, or when I feel shitty.
I’ve got Plex playlists that I sometimes just put on repeat when working or going to sleep:
Harry Potter
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the Caribbean
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. At one point I was watching a few times a week.

Extended? Please explain?
