Comfort Movies...

As I was suffering through a couple of days of food poisoning this week (I refuse to believe that if it had been a virus or bug that I am the only one that could get sick, let alone that sick - I don't remember the last time that I spent two days in bed!), I realized that like some people have comfort foods (and I do have those also - can anyone say lasagna or ice cream?!), or comfort books (which I have also, although I haven't had much of a chance to read lately) or blankets or... I have comfort movies. Depending on the need at the moment, here's a selection of my favorite comfort movies:

I Really Need to Relax and Sleep Movies:

• Star Wars, Episodes IV - VI, but especially IV
• Indiana Jones - a man in a leather coat, with a whip... what else could be so relaxing?!
• The Lord of the Rings - any and all of them, the extended versions
• Any of the Disney and Pixar animated movies

I Am Feeling Sad And Lonely and need something Movies:

• The Count of Monte Cristo
• Pride & Prejudice - currently I favor the Kiera Knightley version, but I also enjoy the six hour A&E version
• Sense & Sensibility
• While You Were Sleeping
• You've Got Mail
• The Magic of Ordinary Days - a really sweet little Hallmark Hall of Fame movie (terrible book, but really charming movie)

I Want to Laugh Movies:

• Galaxy Quest
• Princess Bride
• StarDust - this movie works for every category
• Lady Hawk - I think Matthew Broderick is hysterical in this!
• The Princess Diaries - I LOVE Anne Hathaway...

I Need to Escape Movies:

• Harry Potter - again, any and all of them

There are others, but these are the ones I find in my DVD player over and over again... Am I weird or what?
