What's Buzzworthy? Comfort Movies

Nov 11 2007 - 9:30am

Watching challenging films is a worthy goal, but sometimes, I just want to relax with a movie I've seen a zillion times before. My comfort movies may not be the best or smartest movies in my collection, but they're perfect for curling up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and mentally reciting the lines I've heard a million times before.

So for this week's Buzzworthy [1] challenge, I'm asking you to bookmark your favorite comfort movies, the most trustworthy films in your collection. I'm starting you off with Beautiful Girls [2], a movie I've seen more times than I could count on my fingers and toes put together. All through college, I toted around a VHS tape with a recording of it from my parents' TV; then, I upgraded — slightly — to a beat-up official version I bought from eBay. I finally got the movie on DVD a couple of years back, and I still pull it out every time I just want to watch something familiar. For good measure, I've tossed in a couple of my other standbys, Laurel Canyon [3] and Drop Dead Gorgeous. [4]

Just use BuzzSugar's cool bookmarking tool [5] to find your favorite comfort movies from around the Web, tag them with the phrase comfort movies [6], and let me know why you love keeping them around. I'll post some readers' favorites here next week.

You can also now make a list [7] of your picks. Here are mine:
