Comfort Movies

I'm not sure if I believe in comfort food. There is food that makes me nostalgic, or makes me feel young again, but it never truly comforts me. I do believe in comfort movies. The movies that you play almost automatically when you're really, truly sick as a dog; or when you just can't face...
