That one that helps you sleep, or that you could watch a thousand times?
Mine is the 1970s animated version of The Hobbit.
Pans Labyrinth
I especially love that it’s one of the few dark fantasy movies natively made in Spanish. Fun fact, the faun speaks medieval Spanish
The Mummy
I read this as “What’s your comfort move?” Now I want that list too, whatever it may be.
God Bless America
I’ve got Plex playlists that I sometimes just put on repeat when working or going to sleep:
Harry Potter
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the Caribbean
Not a movie, but mysteries at the museum puts me to sleep every time. They reuse the same overblown words for everything so it winds up that every single item they talk about sounds alike. Between that repetition and the guys metronomic cadence and almost whispery voice, puts me to sleep every time.
Tremors is up there for me. Every couple of years I revisit it and have just as much time as the last.
Lol I think you mistyped because the way this currently reads is “I watch this movie because I have exactly this much time to kill”
Lol you’re correct. Idk what happened there, meant to say fun!
Jacob’s Ladder
Nice
Matrix probably.
The fifth element, it was on cable a lot when I was a kid so the chances of me falling asleep while it was playing in the background were high and I guess it became a subconscious association
Ready Player One. It’s a terrible movie that adapts a terrible book, but for some reason the vibe just entertains me and makes me feel comfortable. I don’t know either.
Only ever had one, kinda. Though I’m not sure I’d call it comfortable? But it’s… visceral, which is mildy amusing because it’s trying to be cerebrial, but too much of the dialogue is just scattered quotes and philosophy references. Anyways, the movie is Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. The second one that was directed by Mamoru Oshii. These days, I don’t get anything out of watching it anymore. I watched it one too many times. But I’ve never taken to any movie like I did that one, so, it wins.
Idiocracy has been my go to for the past several years. Before that, Super Troopers. Or maybe Dazed and Confused.
Idiocracy the documentary?
Star Trek pre 2005 any series and DS9 only if i need to really sleep like a baby.
For the movies anything but nemesis
In no particular order:
- Sahara
- Hercules (1997 animated version)
- Mulan (1998 animated version)
- 27 Dresses
- Jurassic Park (although probably not for sleeping given all the screaming, lol)
