What was your childhood comfort movie?

Question

Mine was Matilda. As a child I thought Mara Wilson was cute, and as a grown up at 35 she still is very beautiful.

I’m a movie buff. Most movies are my comfort zone, including horror films. Some of my favorites were “The Wizard of Oz”, “The Hobbit” (original animated version”, and “A Christmas Story”. As a pre-cable child, these movies only came around about once a year. So it was a bit of a special occasion, each of them. I always scoured the TV guide that came with the Sunday paper to know in advance when those movies were coming. The whole family would usually gather around for “A Christmas Story” and “The Wizard of Oz”. “The Hobbit” was only my thing.

I think I had two. Back in 1968-1969, there was no such thing as MP4s, DVDs, and VHS tape players. I think I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey 2 times and Planet of the Apes 3 times from 1968 until I entered the USAF in 1976.

Resident evil... I had a crush on Michelle Rodriguez, lol.

She was still my celebrity crush, up until recently, when I watched a movie where this guy was forced to get a sex change, and Michelle Rodriguez was "him" after the surgery and he was trying to track down the people who did that to him. Rodriguez actually did look like the guy, in a weird way... I don't know. It just kind of ruined it for me. 😂

Welcome. It's a good movie about a man who accidentally falls in love with mafia's sister and his whole family becomes a part of charade for that. In the end, they married. Good romantic comedy.

Not a movie. My first comfort tv show used to be "Stargate SG-1" for many years. But since 2015 my new comfort tv show became "Supergirl", mostly because of Melissa, not because of anything else.
