name that movie!  February 1, 2010 - 9:44 pm

I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I have lots of “comfort” movies. They are the discs I pop into the player more than any others, the ones I always watch particularly when I’m feeling down or stressed. They’re like the cheese of distraction. Best of all, my husband always tolerates them for my sake, no matter how many lines he can quote forward and backward.

With apologies to anybody I’ve blatantly ripped these off from – here are some images from my list of comfort movies. Can you guess which ones they are?

2 looks so familiar, but I can’t place it!
3 is The Goofy Movie

5 is I think Monty Python and the Holy Grail
7 Shrek 2, I think, it’s the 2 that’s making me unsure.
9 The Princess Bride. True Love.

“The American President” is one of mine, too! I watched that when Jeff and the kids were away. Also, I like “Playing by Heart” and “Moulin Rouge.”

I tried to leave you a comment the other day, but something went wonky and it didn’t stick (maybe I forgot the captcha??) and I didn’t have time to rewrite it. Looks like everyone has covered the movies, but I thought I’d share my favorites: Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, About a Boy, Almost Famous, Mona Lisa Smile, and some of your excellent favorites, Office Space, Princess Bride, Empire Records and Monty Python!!
