December Daily 12-20-2022 - top comfort movies

dorinda - Top 5 comfort movies? Or comfort reads, if you'd rather

Oh goodness. I don't know that I can rank these!

Pacific Rim - Truly wonderful chemistry between the leas, Guillermo del Toro can direct like anything, and it's a shockingly hopeful vision of the future.

Mamma Mia! - It's a musical where the stakes are subterranean and the music is super fun.

Muppet Christmas Carol - This is probably my favorite film. It's a musical, it's a shockingly accurate period piece, it's Michael Cane's favorite film.

The Court Jester (1955) - If you have not seen this film, you have seen its impact on 'period' Hollywood movies for decades. It's also stunningly funny, incredibly well put together, and a delight.

In Other Lands by Sarah Reese Brennan -This book stars a sarcastic queer protagonist who falls in love too hard and can't really understand other people very well, and hurts people's feelings a fair amount. He finds love and acceptance and happiness anyways, without having to be a different person than he is, but while also understanding that he doesn't get to be a jerk to people because it's easy.
