Whether you're going through a breakup, a career hardship, or a global pandemic — we all have at least one personal favorite film we go to for comfort.
For example, When Harry Met Sally (1989) is mine!
This week, the official Turner Classic Movies (TCM) Twitter account asked for people to share their favorite #ComfortFilms, and y'all, I have so many movies to add to my watch list!
We all have that one film we watch to provide an emotional escape. When we’re having a tough day, we turn to Dorothy and the gang in THE WIZARD OF OZ (‘39). What’s your #ComfortFilm?
Here are just a few of the most popular "comfort films" shared:
1. The Princess Bride (1987)
