Chopper was my first lesson in the vast difference between myth and reality.

Alex recently sent me an article about comfort movies and while I have a list on my sidebar of my top 100, the idea of scaling it down to 10 is borderline impossible. It really depends on my mood, you know? But I tried.

Also, I had 5 honorable mentions but my dad is right, that's totally cheating. ;) So here it is, in alphabetical order. (And I feel totally unoriginal now, btw!)

All About Eve



Bandits



Bridget Jones' Diary



Contact



Kicking and Screaming



L.A. Confidential



Party Girl



Stand By Me



Streets of Fire



When Harry Met Sally



For the record, my dad's were

Nobody's Fool
That Thing You Do!
Oliver's Travels
Twister
My Night at Maud's
Babette's Feast
Guantanamera
Miracle on 34th Street
My Dinner with Andre
The World of Henry Orient


And Alex's were:

Diva
Strange Days
Blade Runner
Beautiful Creatures (2000)
Chungking Express
Into the Night
Lethal Weapon
The Lost Boys
Subway (1985)
The Thin Man

And Veloute's were:

Wrath of Khan
Eat, Drink, Man, Woman
Tampopo
Miracle on 34th St
Lord of the Rings movies
Firefly (I tried to leave this out b/c it's a TV series, but I see Oliver's Travels, so I feel justified!)
Casablanca
The Matrix
Watership Down
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

(She wasn't sure about the 10th spot, but Priscilla seemed to be winning.)
