Comfort Movies

Do you have a go-to movie you watch when you aren't feeling well? Or when you are stressed? A comfort movie doesn't always have to be a "good" movie. Many of us can admit that there are certain objectively "bad" movies that we can't help but enjoy. If you don't already have a comfort movie, or if you want to find more, here are some recommendations from MCPL staff. (for adults)
