Practical Magic - Witchy, '90s feminism, with a killer soundtrack (also one of the best movie kisses of all time?)

When Harry Met Sally - Nora. Ephron. Also the chemistry between the main couple is amazing. Also hysterical.

Balto - Watched it constantly as a kid still makes me laugh.

Princess Diaries - My middle school years!

Parent Trap - Again this was my childhood. In particular the soundtrack.

It's Complicated is definitely one of mine!

Others include:

- Stepmom

- Crazy Stupid Love

- Chef

- The Parent Trap

- Selena

I think I might be a bit older that some of you all because mine is A Fish Called Wanda, which I would have seen on VHS a few years after it came out, and I grew up watching old movies on late night PBS, like movies in B&W that are older than my mom or that she might have seen as a kid. I find many of them comforting, especially any that have Katherine Hepburn or Cary Grant, and if it has them both, all the better!

Legally Blonde – Originally based on a book and ‘winter ovester’ was based on a real thing that happened to the author

Overboard – The new one with Anna Farris and Eugenio Derbez. Is it ridiculous, implausible, and kind of problematic? Yes. I still like it.

My favorite comfort movie is The Paper with Michael Keaton and a really strong cast; it’s a fast paced workplace comedy/drama and is a balm when I miss my coworkers (I’m still WFH).

About Time ❤️ Very underrated but so powerful and comforting. Makes me cry every time but for all the right reasons.

Be Kind Rewind - or honestly probably anything with Jack Black

Pinocchio - Del Toro's version

My Life as Zuchinni

The Little Prince

I think probably also just any stop motion movie makes me feel ways.

And of course almost all Studio Ghibli
