The science behind our comfort movies

See if you can spot a trend here. I have watched the film Yesterday four times, Citizen Kane twice, Rashomon once, La Règle du Jeu once, The Fifth Element maybe eight times, There Will Be Blood once, Beau Travail once, Persona once, Pitch Perfect too many times to count… and Jeanne Dielman 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles? Never. I don’t need a psychologist to tell me I’m seeking comfort in things I already know.
