What Movies Help You If You Are Feeling The Past Being Present Again?

[junglegirl]

I find that if I am feeling overwhelmed I can ground myself in the present through watching some of my most comforting films. The films are not necessarily of the romantic comedy variety always. The themeS VARY FROM WATCHING FILMS WHERE OTHERS SUFFER a similar situation to pleasant films that have a loving theme. For me million dollar baby is an inspiring film because swank's character has zero support yet she finds strength alone. I also love the films while you were sleeping, and music and lyrics both romantic comedies. Comedies like Canada's reel time and the new york based it could happen to you, my cousin vinny and analize that make me feel good too.

What movies make you feel safe?

I love movies.

My favs are Casablanca, Aliens (second in the series), Terminator 2, The Sound of Music, most Hitchcock films, good musicals, many Barbara Stanwyk (sp) movies, certain documentaries especially re animals like Buck and one I saw last night about a guy bonding with mule deer, The Untouchables.

I like movies where good and evil are clearly delineated and good wins out!

I like strong women characters like Million Dollar Baby. Movies where people go thru a lot and somehow transcend.

@franciemarnie , I saw the documentary on mule deer last night too. Excellent.

I like thoughtful, critical movies, like Dr. Strangelove, Michael Clayton, but my taste varies. I like Prometheus (the Aliens prequel) because I'm a fan of Greek mythology.

Nature programs that aren't about an animal expert confronting animals are always good. The new version of Cosmos is good.

If I need to snap out of it, I either watch The Pursuit of Happyness, or Love Actually. The first one for if I need a good kick in the pants, and the second if I need the movie equivalent of a warm hug. :)

I love romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally or even things like Pitch Perfect :) When I want to watch a movie that either inspires me or relates to my situation I like to watch Eat Pray Love, The Perks of Being a Wallflower or It's Kind of a Funny Story.

Hercules is always a good movie

I like movies that inspire hope and good prevails over evil: my all time fav "Home Alone" (the original)

I also like the original Disney "Jungle Book" - Louie Prima's music always gets me on my feet singing and dancing.
