Top 5 comfort movies ?

Bonjour (ou peut-être bonsoir, je n'ai pas encore dormi lol) !

Oooooh okay I have many comfort films but I think my top five areeee:

Woman Hater (1948) - I hate hate hate the fucking title (the two French titles I found somehow don't seem as bad), but I think the film is very silly and cute. I first watched it to cheer myself up after being under the weather almost three years ago and since then watching it has at times become a near monthly ritual for me :P There are some other sentimental reasons I suppose that got me attached to it. Also Edwige is very pretty and has the most adorable accent when speaking English <3

L'Honorable Catherine (1943) - idek how to describe the plot of this because it's batshit but it's another silly yet fun film to watch that'll always cheer me up. Also random parts of some of the drunk scenes (very embarrassingly) remind me of escapades I've been on with friends lmao

L'Aigle à deux têtes (1948) - There is no logical reason why this is a comfort film for me but I am not a logical person. I do have reasons (sorta?) but they're mine to keep to myself :P Almost every single theme and aesthetic in this is right up my alley <3

Ninotchka (1939) - Greta is soooooo adorable omg <33

Marie Antoinette (2006) - reminds me of a golden last May

Choosing a fifth film was difficult because there are several more I'd wanna mention lol, and I just watched The Philadelphia Story (1940) tonight and I think that's become an instant comfort film for me haha :P A lot of my old comfort films were dramas but more recently they're mostly lighthearted for some reason!

Merci pour la question ! :)

put “top 5” anything in my ask and i will answer ok go
