Courtney Carver from "Be More With Less" is one of my favorite bloggers/lifestyle influencers. She posted this link in a recent weekend "Favorites" email/blog post and I wanted to put this list in a place where I could find it again, and then add my own few to the mix. There's only a few on her list that I haven't seen, and it has inspired me to watch them.
Here I'm going to list my own "Favorite Comfort Movies" list, inspired by Grace at The Stripe, the link above. There's a lot of movies I agree with, some I haven't seen (yet). I've got some catching up to do!
My Comfort List, in no particular order ~
Father of the Bride (original with Elizabeth Taylor, 1950 & Remake in 1991 with Steve Martin) *eager to see the newest remake which is culturally diverse. Lots of drama in all families!
Bridget Jones' Diary (all of them)
Pride & Prejudice (1995 with Colin Firth and 2005 with Keira Knightley)
Sense & Sensibility (2005 with Emma Thompson)
Oklahoma! (1955 Film with Shirley Jones & Gordon McCrae)
Harry Potter Movies (All)
Star Wars (the first 3 released)
Circle of Friends (despite the worst fake Irish accent ever by Chris O'Donnell, whom I adore)
Heal (a documentary)
Honorable Mentions:
The Birdcage
Freedom Writers
The Ron Clark Story
The Adam Project
The Commitments
Silverado
Princess Diaries
The Starling
Definitely, Maybe
Music and Lyrics
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Pitch Perfect
Akeelah and the Bee
A Walk in the Clouds

Field of Dreams
What about you? What are movies that make you feel? Movies that give you hope? Movies that you can watch again and again?

It's a rainy day here, I'm going to check and see if I can find a few of these on netflix or Amazon. On Golden Pond needs a refresher.
Maybe Where the Red Fern Grows and The Outsiders too. The Blindside I could watch monthly
I didn't mean Blindside, I meant The Green Mile. I know close right!
