That one that helps you sleep, or that you could watch a thousand times?
Mine is the 1970s animated version of The Hobbit.
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.
Star Trek pre 2005 any series and DS9 only if i need to really sleep like a baby.
For the movies anything but nemesis
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
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!
Matrix probably.
Idiocracy has been my go to for the past several years. Before that, Super Troopers. Or maybe Dazed and Confused.
Oh man I picked The Big Lebowski but Dazed is an excellent contender as well.
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)
The Big Lebowski if I’m forced to pick just one.
Comfort movie: Matilda
Movie I could watch 1000 times: The Lion King (1994)
I could curl up with that movie and a warm blanket if I had the flu. I wouldn’t necessarily choose it, but I wouldn’t resist it, either.
Many family movies also work. Plus Scooby doo for some reason.
Perfect Days by Wim Wenders
The Mummy
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.
