    We need a lot of comfort right now, my dudes.

    We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what movie they watch when they feel like the world's on fire. Here's what they said.

    1. Practical Magic. It has such a strong message of sisterhood, whether or not it's by blood. Also, it introduced me to midnight margaritas, which are a gift. —Elissa Westmoreland, Facebook

    2. Deadpool. It's the only movie I know that doesn't take itself so seriously, and I prefer something that can make me laugh and smile. —Jackie Cook, Facebook
