I have homework to do, which means it’s the perfect time to wile away the hours making useless lists! Yay!

2021 Comfort Movies In No Particular Order

1. Misery (1990). Because he didn’t jump out of the COCKADOODY CAR! ;)
2. Little Miss Sunshine (2006). Because there is something truly comforting about the comic desperation of this family that manages to hit that cathartic sweet spot between angst and banality.
3. Shop Girl (2005). Because this movie accurately portrays loneliness and the everyday trappings of relationships, while still saving a bit of the fantasy. (Who knew Steve Martin had it in him?)
4. Best Years of Our Lives (1946). Because I have to see it turn out all right for all of them.
5. Brief Encounter (1945). Because they’re all so very proper and English, and it still manages to be heart-breaking.
6. The Last Starfighter (1984). Because ALEX ROGAN IS MY HERO.
7. Persuasion (1995). Because of Captain Wentworth’s letter.
8. Wives and Daughters (1999). Because of the heroine, really.
9. State Fair (1945). Because you can’t be blue when people dance around and say, “Yay, Io-way!”
10. Psycho (1960). Because we all go a little mad sometimes.
11. Random Harvest (1942). Because it’s so damned sad.
12. Immortal Beloved (1994). Because I absolutely cannot bear to watch the last fifteen minutes of it without sobbing uncontrollably.
13. Dawn of the Dead (2004). Because all my troubles seem relatively trivial in the face of ZOMBIE ARMAGEDDON!1!!
14. The Wedding Singer (1998). Because the 80′s were great, and so colorful!
15. The Mummy (1999). Because it’s everything a goofy mummy movie should be. (Say it with me now, and it’ll be true: “The sequels never happened, the sequels never happened, the sequels never happened…”)
16. Eat Drink Man Woman (1994). Why else? Because of the food, man!
17. Jane Eyre (1983). Because gothic romances rock.
18. Little Women (1949). Because if the March girls can get through it, so can I!
19. Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead (1991). Because I like makeover movies.
20. Speed (1994). Because we all love the part when the bus jumps the huge gap in the freeway.
21. Margie (1946). Because she’s hot for teacher! ;)
