For me, my go-to comfort film is \u2026 \u201cTwister.\u201d Yes, the 1996 disaster film in which a rag-tag group of researchers attempts to chase down and study a series of severe tornadoes ripping their way through rural Oklahoma. I love everything about it \u2013 the pseudo-science; the scenery chewing; the objectively ridiculous soundtrack. I know every scene, every line. I feel warm whenever I watch it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for those who are, shall we say, less weird \u2013 the staff at The Story Exchange has pulled together a list of favorite (and familiar) movies to indulge in this month. Selections that directly evoke the holiday season, or at the very least get us singing and dancing around. Ones that offer big laughs, gentle cries, and above all else, happy endings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pop on your warmest socks, grab a snack and settle into one of these fuzzy cinematic comforts. Or all of them \u2013 we\u2019re not judging.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_9c81a5793a68ba9302c8d1cdb29b6394\" class=\"wp-block related-post alignwide\">\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"section-title\">\n      <h4>Related<\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"post-wrap\">\n              <div class=\"thumbnail\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/holiday-playlist-mariah-carey-joni-mitchell-ella-fitzgerald-more\/\" class=\"post-image-link\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/hand-light-blur-girl-sparkler-celebration-912887-pxhere.com_-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/hand-light-blur-girl-sparkler-celebration-912887-pxhere.com_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/hand-light-blur-girl-sparkler-celebration-912887-pxhere.com_-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/hand-light-blur-girl-sparkler-celebration-912887-pxhere.com_-84x84.jpg 84w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/hand-light-blur-girl-sparkler-celebration-912887-pxhere.com_-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"entry-text\">\n          <h3 class=\"post-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/holiday-playlist-mariah-carey-joni-mitchell-ella-fitzgerald-more\/\">\n              7 Songs by Women Artists to Meet Your Holiday Mood &#8211; Whatever it May Be\n            <\/a>\n          <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div id=\"block_bde8963e3bfa7803cdd7494950bebe15\" class=\"wp-block listicle alignwide\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                  <div class=\"col-md-6 video\">\n            <div class=\"number\">1<\/div>\n            <div class=\"iframewrap\">\n              <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE HOLIDAY [2006] - Official Trailer (HD)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wk9caHO3pW0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-md-6 text\">\n          <h2>\u201cThe Holiday\u201d<\/h2>\n          <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It came out in 2006, but its themes of acceptance and renewal \u2013 as well as its tidy, reliable plot \u2013 are timeless. The movie sees two women whose hearts have recently been broken swapping homes to escape their everyday lives \u2013 and embarking upon unexpected, holiday-tinged journeys of self-discovery. (With the help of two adorable and conveniently placed paramours, of course.) It\u2019s sweet, and light, and features Jude Law in glasses. You can\u2019t go wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                  <div class=\"col-md-6 video\">\n            <div class=\"number\">2<\/div>\n            <div class=\"iframewrap\">\n              <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Preacher&#039;s Wife (1996) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TYcvQTNG_7E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-md-6 text\">\n          <h2>\u201cThe Preacher\u2019s Wife\u201d<\/h2>\n          <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a remake (of the 1947 film, \u201cThe Bishop&#8217;s Wife\u201d) of an adaptation (of a book bearing the same name, which was published in 1928). But this 1996 offering is a classic unto itself \u2013 an utterly charming, decidedly Christmas-y movie that reminds us of the importance and value of family and, for those who believe, faith. If you\u2019re not convinced yet, I have three words for you to seal the deal: Whitney Houston singing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                  <div class=\"col-md-6 video\">\n            <div class=\"number\">3<\/div>\n            <div class=\"iframewrap\">\n              <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"When Harry Met Sally (1989) - Official Trailer (HD)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-E10AcydCuk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-md-6 text\">\n          <h2>\u201cWhen Harry Met Sally\u201d<\/h2>\n          <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to rom-coms, this movie is one of the finest the genre has to offer. (And when you have Meg Ryan in one of the lead roles, magic is all but assured.) In this case, Ryan is paired opposite comedian Billy Crystal, and their banter-filled chemistry would warm even the most winter-y of hearts. But it&#8217;s Nora Ephron\u2019s razor-sharp script, as well as the charming performances, that make this one soar above most any other cinematic love story.<\/span><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                  <div class=\"col-md-6 video\">\n            <div class=\"number\">4<\/div>\n            <div class=\"iframewrap\">\n              <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Roald Dahl\u2019s Matilda the Musical | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mEEMbNS6fzY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-md-6 text\">\n          <h2>\u201cMatilda the Musical\u201d<\/h2>\n          <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like \u201cThe Preacher\u2019s Wife,\u201d this serves as an update of a 1996 movie that\u2019s based on a 1988 Roald Dahl book. But its full slate of musical selections sets it apart as a work all its own. Irish child actress Alisha Weir shines at the center of this one, more than matching up to co-stars like mainstay Emma Thompson and Marvel actress Lashana Lynch. The singing, the dancing and the acting make for a top-notch retelling of a beloved children\u2019s story.<\/span><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                  <div class=\"col-md-6 video\">\n            <div class=\"number\">5<\/div>\n            <div class=\"iframewrap\">\n              <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993) Trailer\" width=\"520\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_QcgjGyRnuw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-md-6 text\">\n          <h2>\u201cSister Act 2: Back in the Habit\u201d<\/h2>\n          <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choir nerds, rejoice with this entry.

(Well, the lead is an anthropomorphized skeleton, but one that is heavily coded as a man.) Yet it\u2019s Sally \u2013 the patchwork doll come-to-life that spends much of the movie evading the controlling scientist who gave her sentience and trying to save its hero, Jack, from himself \u2013 that\u2019s the true star to us.
