I revisit Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind every few years when I wanna get my guts all twisted into knots.

I think when Kaufman is left on his own he’s too much of a bummer and Gondry on his own is just too far out. But somehow they come together in a perfect balance with Jim Carey in perhaps his best serious role, IMHO. The soundtrack really takes it the extra mile.

I appreciate it because Joel and Clementine come off as just two kinda fucked up people having a kinda fucked up relationship; very relatable. Neither is perfect or completely at fault and the film very much leaves it up to your interpretation if they can or should work together. I don’t think it has a happy ending, do you? Compare that to something like 500 Days of Summer where you’re really supposed to sympathize with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character but mostly I end up wanting to push him into the mud. Hard.

The subplot between the doctor and his secretary is maybe a little unnecessary? But Kirsten Dunst is amazing so whatever.

I wish I had stayed.

The Fifth Element comes to my mind immediately. It was my happy place.

The Lord of the Rings, It’s what I watch when I felt lost.

Also, Nostalgia, another film I rewatch when I felt not belonging and nowhere to go back to.

Real Genius. It is a movie with a very young Val Kilmer and lasers. That’s all you need to know. Watch it.

Rear Window never gets old

• Whiplash
• The Princess Bride
• Edge of Tomorrow

Do the DBZA movies count?

Because I’ve watched them all about 7 or 8 times now lol

Pretty much any studio Ghibli movie. Have watched spirited away, Totoro, howls moving castle, valley of the wind, and many more more than 3x. Don’t often rewatch stuff but have a soft spot for ghibli!

2. The Duelists
3. Alien

Probably a bunch more

Bad Santa is my christmas movie. I regret watching Bad Santa 2 once.

Tropic Thunder The Nightmare Before Christmas Hocus Pocus Dr. Doolittle Does Titanic count if I watched it for Leonardo DiCaprio reasons? 😂

I watch TNBC every year, usually for Halloween and Christmas. Used to watch Hocus Pocus for the same reason.

Too lazy to keep scrolling but I haven’t yet seen mentions of Lilo & Stitch (the best movie Disney ever made) and Dark City (the director’s cut and if you haven’t seen it don’t spoil it, just watch it).

…and now I’m seeing a bit of a tone difference between them

My go to comfort movies are:
Sneakers
Hackers
The Italian Job (2003)
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)\

Note: I didn’t say “Best” or “Favorite” but these are infinitely rewatchable for me with any level of attention paid to them.
