    Rather oddly, my "comfort film" is Leaving Las Vegas - which, if you don't know, is all about an alcoholic screen writer who loses everything due to his drinking, then goes to Las Vegas to drink himself to death. I think I like it because it always makes me feel I'm not quite that bad. Yet!

    If you mean Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe... Then I'd have to agree - what a superb film.

    Forrest Gump and Driving Miss Daisy, too.

    That's the one.

    Two more -- Bucket list and what was the one with Jack Nicholson as an OCD writer doing a good deed ?

    Once you start thinking about feel good films it's difficult to stop..

    As good as it gets - great film.

    I used to hate cowboy films as a lad but I now like almost all of John Wayne's output. All except that crappy detective one in London and the Green Beret.

    What about The Birdcage with Robin Williams and Mrs Doubtfire ?

    So many films, so little time.
