My favorite scene was the ending. >!With all the creatures trapped in a warehouse full of explosives, Earl and Burt are running away. Earl ducks behind a corregated steel shed, and Earl runs right past him. Takes Earl a second to appreciate how big the blast will be, and they barely make it behind a burm.<! Great the first time and every other time.

"Whew, smells too!" That line by Reba is an inside joke for my family for the last thirty years.

I liked how it was a plot point. Bacon tricks the first one, then Ward asks if it "smells like that 'cause it's dead." I always found that funny.

[-]

insomniacandsun@reddit

I’m with you on Tremors. The dynamic between Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon is hilarious.

And where else are you going to see Michael Gross and Reba McEntire fervently defending their rec room against a giant underground monster.

[-]

burnafter3ading@reddit

Yup. 2 and 3 were pretty watchable. And, I'll admit, I hung on for the TV series. But they should have just let it go after that. I think the Tremors franchise became a grim prefiguration of what they would eventually do with Jurassic Park.

[-]

NoAnnual3259@reddit

The funny thing is (and I didn’t realize this until recently) but I guess the original book makes it clear that he’s not drinking merlot because he doesn’t like the varietal—it’s because he associates merlot with his ex-wife. And meanwhile the market for pinot noir exploded after the film and merlot sales went to shit.

[-]

I was in my early 20s when this came out and knew nothing about wine so I was like “yes Paul Giamatti, tell me what to drink…”

It’s almost famous’s 25th birthday this weekend! Love this movie and it’s a comforter for me too. Check out the podcast 5 years ago for the 20th where they interview all involved.

That said, o hadn’t realized it, but after the 2024 pres debate I was so deflated realizing it was between 2- 80 year old incoherent men that I went to Netflix afterwards for some reprieve and Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure was there for me. Hadn’t watched it in years, but it was what I needed in terms of dumb, innocent, inane, and comfort.

I loved how I grew up watching Cheers with my folks. At first I had absolutely no idea what anyone was talking about but over the years understood more of it until I was a big fan at the end.

For a similar comfort movie (and honestly, it replaced Almost Famous on my list), I recommend Licorice Pizza. If you’ve not seen it, it’s about a high schooler who tries to act older and falls in love with an older girl. Set later in the 70s than Almost Famous. And it too has a great soundtrack.

I watched clueless so much as a teen and young adult. And it is a comfort movie. But my actual 30s and 40s re-watched comfort movie is Blast from the Past. I love the house Alicia and Dave's characters live. I've watched the movie just to look at the house interior so much I can immediately identify it when used in other shows. Also Brendan Fraser is so wholesome in this role.

[-]

seahorse_party@reddit

Empire Records. Such a fun, terribly written, soundtracky movie. "This is the Day" by The The during the credits is just so perfect.

Also, different era/feel entirely but: Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette may have a perfect soundtrack. The Cure song at the coronation is A Moment. I find that movie really comforting, for the most part, but it makes me want champagne and evil pastries covered in highly elaborate icing.

[-]

Twanlx2000@reddit

Empire Records is a regular watch for me. I regrettably never worked in a record store, but was a manager at an independently owned cafe that had that vibe and a diversity of personalities and style.

[-]

seahorse_party@reddit

Yes! I worked at a video store that was much more Empire Records than Clerks (thankfully). Everyone there could've been a character in a quirky indie film and each of us got an album/mixtape pick per shift. Although - no veto except the management veto.

I made the mistake of looking up the girls this was based on and was instantly disgusted. These were girls in their low teens being passed from band to band.

I’m so sorry. I completely understand. It’s awful when something that once brought joy now brings sadness.

Also 44 and this is also my favorite comfort movie. I watch it at least once a year and it's like snuggling up in a warm blanket with my dog.

They don’t let no light in. They don’t let no water in. They don’t let air in! Air’s outside right now “Hey! I’m air! Let me in.” And they let him in. And air gets in EVERYWHERE, man. That’s how exclusive a Biggie Shorty party is, man.

It’s hard to get in too.

Elmer Bernstein did the music for this and Ghostbusters. I love both scores.

Also Mamma Mia, Space Balls, Princess Bride, Hangover, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Tommy Boy, Office Space, Hamilton, Wedding Crashers, Dazed and Confused

These movies have all gotten me through some heavy heavy times all for different reasons, and I'm grateful for them because they feel like old friends right when I need them.

Stranger than fiction, the will Farrell comedy/romance. I find it grounding and inspiring.

Madolah@reddit

Used to always watch this one, slowly phased away from it after a breakup from the one to introduce me to it, thought I still love it!

I think my 'Comfort Movie' now is either the First TMNT Movie, or Drive.
Watching Gosling beat the bloody pulp outta people with its soundtrack soothes me.

So many. The LoTR series when I'm sick, Twilight Series during the Fall, Pride & Prejudice when I need to wind down, or the P&P miniseries for a day of relaxation, other misc. Big Trouble in Little China, Devil Wears Prada, The Other Woman, Edge of Tomorrow, the Martian. I believe the new Dune movies are joining the esteemed collection. Alternatively comfort series to watch are SATC, Buffy once a year, the Americans and Gilmore Girls. I need a lot of comfort.

[-]

miss_missy1981@reddit (OP)

Fresh Prince is an absolute comfort show. I’ll probably get downvoted for my other two, but they are The Cosby Show and Roseanne. I can disconnect from the people and appreciate the characters.
