Whenever I can't sleep¹ there's nothing better than a comfy, stupid, familiar movie. You know. An orange cat of movies. Not so stupid to make you groan, but must only require one braincell.
I'm looking to expand my repertoire.
Current insomnia movie is Pacific Rim.
I put it on, and may not make it to the end. Nap land in 3..2...1....zzz²
Now, importantly, collecting responses:
What is your naptime movie? Why?

Some of the previous insomnia movies are:

Boondock Saints

Lost Highway
As you can see I'm not one bit precious.
@jjcelery Terence Davies’ “Of Time & The City” for me.
It’s my favourite movie of all time, and I genuinely believe it’s not only the greatest work to be committed to film, but one of the greatest works of humanity.
It’s a seminal piece that has all that is gorgeous about life.
But that it is made entirely of prose and poetry and beautiful music, with slow, ambient black and white imagery, makes it perfect to settle the mind and help one feel safe enough to sleep.
