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)
@tcm The Princess Bride for sure.
2. Cabin in the Sky (1943)
