Do you have any comfort media that you've seen/read a million times? (1 Viewer)

[centen]

For me:
Books: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. I've read the entire series approximately 8 times.
Movies: Bullet Train. It's just a good time! I put it on in the background all the time. And basically any Studio Ghibli film when I actually want to watch something and soak up the cozy vibes.
TV: Great British Bake Off is the ultimate comfort show.

 

[Lovely_Cornchips]

Shows: New Girl, Friends, The Office, Bones, Criminal Minds
Movies: Divergent, The Proposal, The Hunger Games Trilogy
Books: The Winner's Trilogy (Arin & Kestrel are my life and I've re-read it about 3 times), An Ember in the Ashes (ONLY the first book), The Selection Series


But also I probably have way more because I have a habit of rewatching the shit out of shows!

An Ember in the Ashes (ONLY the first book),

I read the first one when it came out and never circled around to finishing the series. Worth it?

 

[Nina]

Books: Gemma Doyle Trilogy, Harry Potter series, The Talented Mr. Ripley, North and South
Movies: Harry Potter movies, Mean Girls, She's the Man, John Tucker Must Dies, most other 2000s rom coms, and Elf
TV Shows (I'm mostly here out of the 3): Friends, Brooklyn 99, Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who, Young Sheldon, Black Butler

I feel like I watched Friends (all seasons) 50 times by now. I wish I was kidding but they play reruns of the show every day.

I'm watching it right now o.o the episode when Rachel makes her famous trifle

 

[Ahsoka]

Books: Harry Potter, LOTR, The Hobbit, I am Legend,
Movies: Closest I can think of is a Russian one called Prastakvashina. I’ve seen it a few times as a kid and this past Christmas too.

 

[eclipsoul]

tv series: a polish crime drama about a priest solving crimes called "father matthew", the characters are so funny that it makes me forget how much i actually hate the catholic church in our country
movie: all the 1980s sci-fi/fantasy movies like back to the future, the lost boys, the neverending story... though with the last one i cannot just have it in the background because i always have to skip the horse dying scene
but my #1 type of comfort media these days is gameshows like the wheel of fortune

[mysteric]

shows: nirvana in fire, an ancient love song, succession, super vocal, dance smash
movies: aftersun, nezha, chungking express, aftersun + drone, physics of sorrow, false memory, house of cubes for shorts

My daily routine involves watching Wheel of Fortune

 

[snsd2beg]

Steven Universe, Young Justice (season one), The Handmaiden

There is a reason I only read the first one.

 

[x_x]

the only thing i ever rewatch is kuroko no basket, that is my home

same!! i do it with all gameshows but wheel of fortune is the most fun to watch these days for me because they get new episodes like all the time here and it's so simple that you can just turn off your brain and watch. best 30 minutes of my day

Gotcha! Appreciate the heads up. My TBR is endless enough as it is.

I have quite a few I also watch just as frequently like Jeopardy, Family Feud, etc. It’s definitely great

It's just the 1st book feels like a COMPLETELY different series to the rest of the books. It gives off the vibes of The Winner's Trilogy to me and then the rest of it is not that at all and I didn't sign up for that.

 

[pinkmelodies]

Any shows/movies that involve my childhood since nostalgia hits me hard

 

[RandAlThor]

You like chunky books. Those are quite the commitment to break out for a comfort read!
