    Default Comfort films

    I know peoples top films change a lot but there are the comfort films one always puts on when the pants are down.

    Here are mine -

    Almost famous - great music. Right in my era. I felt an affinity with the lead character.

    Pulp fiction - Just the best. Every time you see different stuff.

    With Nail and I - Just good quality cinema.
    In - Tweaked Lenco GL75, Linn Ittok, Ortofon Cadenza Black
    Through - Croft Micro 25 RS LS, power R monoblocks, RIAA R. Ortofon ST-80 SE SUT.
    Along - Tellurium Q Ultra Black cables
    Out - Harbeth SHL5 Plus XD's

    Street photography

    Oops sorry I misread the question...

    I didn't think of The Killing Fields as a comfort film!
