The Best Cozy Movies for Every Kind of Comfort Watch


Spanning eras, genres, and Julia Roberts hairstyles.

Fincher’s erotic thriller about the dissolution of a marriage — or, more specifically, about a woman who fakes her death and frames her husband, who is having an affair with Emily Ratajkowski (who is rehearsing for a production of Godspell) — is not exactly cozy, but the modern classic is a soothing rewatch due to its committed performances from leads Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck and striking supporting player Carrie Coon. This gorgeous adaptation of Jane Austen’s masterpiece cemented Keira Knightley’s power as a period-piece heroine and gave some of entertainment’s current VIPs a gig prefame: Carey Mulligan, Matthew Macfadyen, and Rosamund Pike are all present. But its sweeping romance between Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) pulls the audience into a fantastical narrative, and the pitch-perfect casting — from Bill Paxton to Kathy Bates to Victor Garber to the musicians — tell the story in a powerful, uplifting way that makes you feel safe and nostalgic for a groundbreaking moment in cinema history.
