What are your comfort movies/shows?

[lyles]

There are a few things that I watch when I am really low and need to see something that verbalizes the feelings I am having. Derek DelGaudio's In & Of Itself is one of my go-to's for that sort of thing. If I just want to feel happier though then it is a ghibli movie usually. What about all of you?

I like this part:

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite "sandwich"

I'd advise you to go to the land of plenty then, but I just remembered you're the only one here taken.

I like to watch tarot reading on youtube, i know it sound stupid but i find it very soothing

Odd as it is, M.A.S.H and Get Smart.

Yes, great shows although I only liked the first 3 seasons of M.A.S.H. It was some of the funniest stuff ever on tv. The show really went downhill after Wayne Rogers and McLean Stevenson left.

...I go through this phase every year where I obsessively keep this on re > play > peat :: not into drag myself (though I have worn sarong skirts) but appreciate the artform... (appreciate Rocky's bodybuilding artwork also!)
It's those last 5 tracks on the album that get me everytime :: the wierdness, the truth beneath that we hide, the alienation and it's loneliness when you're different...
"cards for sorrow, cards for pain..."
Esp: "im going home"...
... now where's my dvd remote..?!

Let's do the time warp again!

Nowadays it's difficult for me to enjoy movies or tv shows. For the most part im only into older movies, I really like The Mummy (1999), Executive Decision (1996), The Bodyguard (1992) and North By Northwest (1959).

If you like old movies, I literally know hundreds you might like.
Here are just a few:
Shane(1953). Bonnie and Clyde(1967) Cool Hand Luke(1967) The French Connection(1971). Southern Comfort(1981)
Hard Times (1975). The Untouchables(1987). Road Warrior(1981). Planet of the Apes(1968). Taxi Driver(1976) Die Hard (1988) Scarface(1983). The Sting(1973). Papillon(1973). Full Metal Jacket(1987) A Clockwork Orange(1971).
Witness(1985). Big(1988) Platoon(1986) Wall Street(1987) Boiler Room(2000). Dog Day Afternoon(1975). The Great Escape(1963) Midnight Express(1978). The Taking of Pelham One Two three(1974)
You've probably seen many of these......there are just so many great movies from this time period.

Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon

The Great Escape(1963)

Is it by chance four allied POW escapees from a Nazi camp? I remmember a PS2/PC game named so from 2002.

It was a lot more than 4.......Imprisoned during World War II in a German POW camp, a group of Allied soldiers are intent on breaking out, not only to escape, but also to draw Nazi forces away from battle to search for fugitives. Among the prisoners determined to escape are American Captain Virgil Hilts (Steve McQueen) and British Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett (Richard Attenborough). Outwitting their captors by digging a tunnel out of the prison grounds, the soldiers find the stakes much higher when escape becomes a reality.

A Bronx Tale ( I grew up in that area of the Bronx) and Taxi Driver were great......I'll have to check out Beserk.

A Bronx Tale ( I grew up in that area of the Bronx) and Taxi Driver were great......I'll have to check out Beserk.

I suggest the 1997 TV show. (The newer adaptions kinda suck)
The best option is the manga. It has some of the best and most beautiful artwork I've ever seen. The artist and writer was really meticulous

 

[Lotus]

Bridget Jones. Lmao, it makes me feel less like a loser for making mistakes.

 

[Ren Elsie Jewelria]

Family Guy.

 

[ascetic_]

Wentworth. One of the best shows I've ever watched. I don't think I've ever been so invested.

I re-watched all of the seasons recently. Of course, given that I'm extremely isolated and lonely, that's probably why I figuratively fall in love with the characters and enthusiastically shout at the screen when something particularly exciting happens.

It must have been horrific and great being there at the same time. Isn't Little Italy in there, essentially where the whole city and state sprung up from?

 

[TriggerHappy]

Those empty fucking idaho roads and that bed scene with Reeves & Phoenix / &Flea (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)


Breaks my heart everytime....

 

[AhogeSuspension]

Moe anime, my favorites are K-ON!, Love Live!, etc etc. You know the type
I like to imagine I am in there with them. JFL

 

[TriggerHappy]

On the waterfront, ugh. Awesome.

 

[Blue_mist]

Movies about depression and suicide: The hours, Magnolia
At bed time i love watching classic British TV shows like are you being served, keeping up appearances, mind your language, doctor in the house.
And i also like to watch designing women just because of Bernice, she is always put a smile on my face and i like the 80's vibe in this show, it's so nostalgic.

 

[TriggerHappy]

I'm desperately trying to find a copy of this:
Raggedy Rainey - I think he's a "cross dressing" gypsy circus kid that gets caught in the war. They mistake him as a girl, but he gets discovered. Blew my mind as a teenager.

Always sunny in Philly, the best comedy show after Malcolm ended, no contest.

Childhood memories are a mixed bag, aren't they? I have fond memories and some real bad ones like fights and being robbed a couple of times. A lot worse things happened as I got older and we moved to other parts of the Bronx.
Although the area was known as Little Italy or the Belmont section, we always called it Arthur Avenue.
I'm no historian, but I believe NYC sprang up from Manhattan and then commerce and people moved to the outer boroughs.

 

[Ky204]

Mainly cartoons or animated movies (I don't have a specific one but along the lines of most Disney movies or old Cartoon Network shows). I blocked out a lot of my childhood but I'll always remember the movies that took me away from the real world, even if it was for a short period of time. Anime and most adult swim shows were my old copes, but I've been on a nostalgia kick recently.

Funny how yesterday I watched this show for the first time, decided on a random episode and it was on an airplane too. S10 E1 (The gang beats Boggs). Awesome performance by Dee there as well

Seen every episode a dozen times. Kaitlin Olson is way talented.

Sure, the Dee kick when she's proven herself right to somebody and that puking running gag is just... there. Nobody can immitate it better without really doing it, especially with the sounds she makes. Also seems the next most sane person after Charlie.

Just how something so disgusting keeps airing is amazing. So a 70-something gloryhole lover who sleeps ass-to-ass with Charlie is a father to twin daughter blonde capable of drinking 71 beers on a flight, who once also sucked bat poison from her father's head after being offered $200 (S8 E3) and twin son the most easily recognisable psyxhopath in sitcom history.

I don't watch shows. Horror movies, some at least, not all are comforting. I check doesthedogdie(dot)com so I don't feel worse. Horror movies are the only movies I watch.

Others mentioned YouTube, I watch YT more. I like watching videos from activists, I like watching livestreamed debates a lot. They can be annoying sometimes but the good debates make it worth it + it helps me be better. Livestreams make me feel less lonely too.

I really like The Librarian's channel. His videos are really comforting. Underground Explorers C9C too, it's an urbex channel focusing on abandoned mines & caves. I think they're interesting but they're one of the abandoned places I refuse to explore, so this channel is really awesome. They have fun personalities, so it feels like I'm there with them but I'm safe.

I love all of those people, disgusting kinks and all.
