ITT: only 10/10 comfy movies that you watch with a blanket and a hot chocolate when it's snowing outside.
You LITERALLY can't hear this: http://youtu.be/zCNHVMIYqiA and don't snuggle with a blankie while you get spooped by the mystery and nostalgia.

comfy bump
Are you joking? Harry Potter was easily one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects?all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>But at least the books are ggood though!
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King

Its uncreativity is 10/10, because Rowling's magic world has no place for the numinous. It is written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip.
Its values, and everything in it, are, as Gatsby said of his own world when the light had gone out of his dream, ''only personal.'' Nobody is trying to save or destroy anything beyond Harry Potter and his friends and family.

shit chart
I don't think the franchise was "good" by any standards but goddamn is OP right, comfy as fuck
>tfw I will never stay at Hogwarts over Christmas being all comfy in a sweater in the Gryffindor room snuggled up on some nice chair while holding hermione close to me before I kiss her, then we eat some bertie bott's funny flavored beans together and laugh
why even live?
Not even joking. There is something so comfy about this movie, maybe its the winter, the lovely villa or buffet they had

For me, HP has to been watched as a whole, so I cannot just watch one movie; this makes it hard to find time to watch them akk
But in regards to comfy movies, my favs are The Fellowship of the Ring (the comfiest of them all) and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011). (the comfiest and greatest detective thriller I have yet to see)
