Yes, there are several films that I consider to be my favorites. The genre that I enjoy most are romance films. I especially like character development and those emotions generated as two people fall in love and express their love for one another. And when the script is well written and the music consists of enchanting melodies and beautiful harmony that creates a romantic mood and aspires to ignite a meteoric flame that burns brightly and convinces the audience that love does exist and that love is beautiful, magical and worthwhile; those are the special moments and scenes that satisfy the soul and leave the heart wanting for more.

I feel like there’s many films that could fit into that category! There are some films where I think they’re stunningly beautiful, such as Cinderella (2015) with the intricacy of the costumes (particularly during the ball scene) and the softness of the landscapes/architecture.
Pride & Prejudice’s (2005) cinematography is absolutely stunning, from the colour palette to the production design, and the use of natural light to enhance the scenes - such as the breaking dawn with mist hanging over the fields with sunrise peeking through. Jane Eyre (2011) is very similar in that sense too, with the ruggedness of the moors and weather combined adding to the haunting atmosphere of the story. Lord of the Rings is epic in its grandeur and in terms of haunting beauty, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth and Crimson Peak perfectly blends elements of fragility and child like innocence with a gothic horror undertone. Wes Anderson’s films are so visually striking and appealing; his use of colour is unparalleled, imo.

I haven’t played it from what I’ve seen, Skyrim looks very impressive and authentic in its landscapes. Show wise… yet again, the costume department in Once Upon A Time is incredible; the depth of detail and embroidery in some of the costumes is truly inspiring.
I’ve probably missed out on loads, but I love being immersed in the worlds of whatever I’m watching :)

Mine would be thrillers or true crime, because I'm a bit strange I guess. Something without a laugh tract or loud music. I find films from the 30s or 40s are fairly mellow - no war movies. Maybe a drama? I was raised in a small house, so I was used to falling asleep with the distant sound of the television. Spirited Away. Wonderful movie, I've seen it a million times and the adventure never gets less breath-taking. But when I want to fall asleep it's perfect. Soft yet rich colours, whimsical, airy and childlike tone and that wonderfully soothing soundtrack
The Ring The muted color palette and the abundance of rain makes me feel super cozy under the covers. Once you've seen the movie a dozen times there really aren't any more scares to be had and I usually fall asleep during the first half so miss some of the jump scares of the second half.
John Wick. I know the movie so well I probably quote it in my sleep. I always enjoy watching it but I know it so well that missing parts of it while dozing off doesn’t bother me. I can fall asleep 20 minutes in and then start up from the same point the next night
I see I'm not the only one who does this exact same thing. I put on movies that I know well so I can follow them in my head as I try to fall asleep. 3 that I use quite a bit are Jerry Maguire, Fools Rush In and The American President. Maybe give them a try, they work for me at least.
Anything by Apichatpong Weerasethakul. I say this as an admirer of his films: extremely pleasant to watch 20 minutes of and then just drift off. They're slow-moving, gentle, and have really engaging sound design so they work like a charm. Most of them tend to have pretty dark/subdued color palettes too so it's not a strain on the eyes.
I’ll be the one to actively not post movies in the movie group. I listen to podcasts a lot at night. Less exposure to blue lights when trying to sleep, infinite topics to pick from, most don’t feature abrasive audio. They are usually a steady stream of lower voices. I typically put some smaller ear buds in so that it’s not uncomfortable so the volume can be adjusted as needed. Hell, I listened to a movie podcast last night with Edgar Wright and Quentin Tarantino. If you do specifically want movies, I will always throw on Fellowship of the Ring on a sleep timer. Love the movie and seen it a billion times, so the pressure/desire of staying awake to watch it is minimal. The opening and set up is just long enough that before they even leave the shire I am typically out.
I also have tinnitus, add very bad insomnia for extra bonus points. I also use movies to help me fall asleep- and when a movie is working I'll start it every night when I go to bed until it quits working (I have an android tablet set up by my bed with both USB and microSD, with several medium with many movies on them). I'll also restart the current choice when I inevitably wake up several times through the night.

I dislike noise while sleeping or while trying to sleep.
There is usually something that comes up naturally. Either a remake, an anniversary of a films release, maybe a famous actor dies. Sometimes a friend mentions they haven't seen a movie and you decide to watch it together. Sometimes you just check you list and see what's available on your steaming sites, and what's available you watch.
I sometimes take ages to decide too. The only time I would know was if maybe something new was added to a streaming service that I wanted to see. It varies. Sometimes I want to watch a horror, or a sequel or even try and get though someone’s filmography. You can use the shuffle thing on your watchlist to give you a random thing. But in all honestly I’m terrible for choosing when I don’t have an idea in mind can take up to an hour sometimes
I make a psychotic amount of lists. I have a list of every streaming service I subscribe to with any movie currently on that service that I haven't seen and am interested in seeing (go to films--->sort by streaming service). Specifically, every month I make a list of the films leaving the Criterion Channel that month that I would like to see and try to watch as many of them as possible since I find once they leave Criterion those are the most difficult to find again. I will also sometimes challenge myself to watch an entire filmography of a director (I've done the Cohens and Scorsese in the past) and sometimes I'll use an upcoming release as an excuse to watch movies (for example, Soderbergh has a new movie coming this week, so I will probably watch 4-5 of his movies I haven't seen yet). I too was finding my watchlist becoming unmanageable so I make a list called my top 100 watchlist. I went through my current watchlist and picked out exactly 100 movies that I really wanted to watch and made a separate watchlist that I know has movies that on any occasion I will be happy I watched. I've gone through a few of these now and I find it helps me really knock of movies that have burning a hole in my watchlist for a while.
I generally choose based on what mood I'm in. Sometimes I know I won't be able to handle a very acclaimed arthouse, so I see something more comforting for me, a musical or an animated movie. Other time I just want a real mind fuck, or a silent film, or something short. I recommend you trying to analyze what you are feeling, not only by what you would like at the moment, but also what you think you can't handle. Hope this helps!
I usually have a general sense of what I'm planning on/interested in, mostly stuff I'm trying to check off my list. But sometimes I'll just be surprised by something that catches my eye. I watch that new Netflix movie The House on a whim and It's one of my favorites I watched in January. So mostly just based on vibes and random guesses about what I think I'll be in the mood for.

Oh que oui ça se perd..
Sans parler de l'aspect religieux car cela ne concerne que les personnes croyantes et pratiquantes, Noël est une fête où le bonheur principal est de se retrouver tous ensemble autour d'un beau sapin mais je trouve que les gens sont de plus en plus superficiels..ils veulent un repas extraordinaire comme dans les films et des cadeaux démesurés..comme si rien de légèrement plus en dessous ne pouvait leur faire plaisir..et à ça on peut rajouter le fait que les magasins profitent énormément de cet aspect commercial de Noël en commençant à tout sortir dès le mois de septembre/octobre pour influencer les achats..ça me dégoûte tout ça..par là je ne veux pas dire qu'un bon repas et un gros cadeau ne me feront pas plaisir mais quand dans la situation inverse tu ne peux pas suivre le rythme car ce n'est pas dans tes moyens, tu passes les fêtes à te demander si tes proches vont réellement être contents de ce que tu pourras apporter..je pense que moins on en attend et plus on est heureux, normalement c'est ça l'esprit de Noël..n'attendra que la présence des personnes qu'on aime et de passer ensemble..pas se ruiner pour en mettre plein les yeux à la terre entière..
