Here Are 26 Of The Best Comfort Films Ever According To You, The Readers

"Almost anything from Studio Ghibli".

We all have those movies that we fall back on when we're feeling low. So we recently asked the Buzzfeed Community what their go-to comfort films were, and as usual, they didn't disappoint! Here are 26 movies that never fail to cheer us up!

1. Young Frankenstien

20th Century Fox

"When I'm feeling down and I need to laugh, I turn to my favourite movie. Young Frankenstein is a perfect blend of subtle sexual humour, sarcasm, and Cloris Leachman! (Really, you can't go wrong with any Mel Brooks movie.)"

—doofenshmirtzevilinc

2. Mad Max: Fury Road

Warner Bros. Pictures

"Aside from being aesthetically gorgeous and basically an action-movie opera, it always reminds me that I can be strong during hard times. It reminds me that some days will be really hard, and it’s okay to acknowledge that fact, but I still have to push forward if I want something better."

3. Titanic

Paramount Pictures / 20th Century Fox

"It was my favourite film as a kid, I loved everything about it, and learnt everything I could about the ship. I even have two tattoos in dedication. It was my little escape to another time – just without the danger!"

—tashatbhx

4. The Wizard of Oz

Loew's Inc

"The land of Oz was an escape for me from the moment I could read the books. And the movie – that moment when Dorothy opens the door to a colourful world never fails to take my breath away. No matter if I’m feeling lost, lonely, or overwhelmed – I can find a friend in Oz."

—tabithamartel

5. Sister Act

Buena Vista Pictures Distribution

"I can watch Sister Act over and over and over again, and it's just the perfect film for me to relax to. I put it on when I'm having panic attacks, or when I just need something familiar to watch. It's just a great '90s movie."

6. Anything from Studio Ghibli

Toho

"I am a huge Studio Ghibli fan and they are my go-to comfort films. I own the whole collection. Princess Mononoke, Howl’s Moving Castle, Kiki’s Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, and Spirited Away are my main comfort films. The gorgeous animation, dreamy music and inspiring characters and storylines take me far away from my troubles every time".

—mstina11

"Almost anything from Studio Ghibli, but mainly Howls Moving Castle. I love watching Ghibli when I'm sick or just depressed, the characters are always unique and the animation is always eye-catching. I get lost in the stories even when I know them by heart".

—franwix

7. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Orion Pictures

"It’s my favourite movie ever. I’m old enough to have seen it in theatres when it came out. I can be having the worst day but watching this movie will give me a lot of comfort."

—audreyt4fe9df5f9

8. The Devil Wears Prada

20th Century Fox

"The combination of an amazing cast and a simple story that is entertaining makes for great lazy couch comfort watching."

—umrawk85

9. Little Miss Sunshine

Fox Searchlight Pictures

"The acting is phenomenal and each character’s story and development are perfect. It’s a good lesson in love, family, and grief in so many ways. It’s a perfect film."

—amandawasielewskim

10. Silver Linings Playbook

The Weinstein Company

"From dysfunctional families, mental illness, and substance abuse, to betrayal and loss. The characters are so real, fallible, and sympathetic. In the end, it’s an unconventional love story about accepting yourself and others' despite obstacles."

—stephaniev23

11. What We Do in the Shadows

Madman Entertainment

"I was at a very low point in my life and without fail that movie made me laugh. I think I watched it 10 times in one week once."

—merhod24

12. Pitch Perfect

Universal Pictures

"This came out just before I moved to the other side of the world, and for the first few months, I watched it every day to beat the homesickness. It’s my go-to movie when I’m down, I sing along and never fail to laugh, no matter how many times I’ve seen it!"

—ashleyc81

"An underdog story, romance (Jesse is my dream), female camaraderie, comedy, and some great tunes".

—joanneb447c2e55a

13. Tremors

Universal Pictures

"Giant underground monsters, Kevin Bacon in tight ass jeans, and Reba as a gun-toting survivalist always makes me feel better".

—beauty-shambles

14. Gone With The Wind

Loew's, Inc

"It may be a classic, it may be long, but her courage, strength, and determination to keep fighting on has always helped me."

—luckycrab79

15. Bridget Jones' Diary

Universal Pictures

"There is something comforting about seeing a relatable character with a great sense of humour, and a good amount of second-hand embarrassment in addition to its good catharsis."

—adasarayonu

"It was my go-to as a teenager, and it still is now I'm Bridget's age from the first movie. It's where I first fell in love with Colin Firth, and no, I will not be taking criticism."

—constanvee

16. Mulan

Buena Vista Pictures

"I’ll never get tired of Mulan no matter how many times I watch it. Even though I know exactly what happens, the stakes are so high that it’s always cathartic when everything works out in the end – it’s the perfect comfort film!"

–Hanifah Rahman

17. 13 going on 30

Sony Pictures Releasing

"I watched that film every day when I was a very unhappy lonely kid, and now as a slightly less unhappy and lonely adult, it still makes me feel better."

—slytherinshark

18. Any Adam Sandler movie

Sony Pictures Releasing

"Adam Sandler movies are my favourite to watch again and again. I don't know why – I love dumb simple movies I guess. I love to rewatch Grownups one and two, Just go with it, 50 first dates. Even today I rewatched That's my boy."

—itsmeshahbano

19. Nanny McPhee

Universal Pictures

"A perfect family film with the right amount of dark humour, and it introduced me to actresses such as Imelda Staunton and Celia Imrie. The ending is just perfect as well: 'What about the end of the story?' 'Don't worry. You are the end of the story'."

—hobbitgirl96

20. Mr. Right

Focus World

"It is a curious rom-com/action movie that definitely seems to flip the script on your typical rom-com. It's a funny, sweet film that somehow makes you root for a hitman."

—lulupanda57

21. The Fault in Our Stars

20th Century Fox

—itzgraceee

22. Pride

20th Century Fox

"This film has everything you want in a comfort film. It shows you that even in the worst times, people can come together to get through adversity. It may be sad at times, but as a whole, the movie is super feel-good!"

–Benjamin Dzialdowski

23. Singin' in the Rain

Loew's, Inc

—cerealkillerm
