Winter’s chill invites the perfect excuse to savor the comfort of cozy movies. There’s something so magical about the combination of chilly weather outside and heartwarming films that create the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing time. Here is a list of my personal favorite flicks to watch during those cold months.
Groundhog Day
As a Pennsylvanian, Groundhog’s Day is a big deal, so obviously I have seen this film many times. This is a captivating, comedic film about a weatherman who is trapped in a time loop, forced to live the same day over and over again. It sounds like the film would be boring and repetitive, but somehow it works. It is filled with funny dialogue while covering the message of living life morally.
Valentine’s Day
Continuing the trend of holiday movies, “Valentine’s Day” is an annual rewatch for me during February. This is a heartwarming romantic comedy that weaves together multiple storylines of love. It captures the ups and downs of relationships, love and life in general. The cast is filled with A-list stars including Julia Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Bradley Cooper and even Taylor Swift! If you are looking for a new rom-com to add to your list, I highly recommend this one.
Five Feet Apart
I know I said all these movies bring cozy vibes, but this one is a little different. “Five Feet Apart” is a compelling romantic drama about two teens battling a deadly disease – cystic fibrosis. As they navigate the challenges of their illness they form a close bond, but have to stay five feet apart at all times. As a fair warning, this is a gut-wrenchingly sad movie, but it is worth a watch.
The Mighty Ducks
On a happier note, “The Mighty Ducks” is an uplifting sports comedy that follows the transformation of a troubled lawyer, Gordon Bombay, who reluctantly coaches a youth hockey team. Filled with humor, heart and underdogs, the movie truly captures the spirit of teamwork. If you are a huge hockey fan, and even if you aren’t, this is a wonderful film to watch that shows the value of friendship and family.
I know that winter can seem dull and depressing, but it can also give you an excuse to curl up and watch a great film. Whether it’s an uplifting sports comedy or a gut-wrenching drama, these films wrap audiences in a cinematic blanket of warmth and comfort. I hope you enjoy my list and maybe give one of these movies a try!
