Your favourite movies which aren’t masterpieces or anything like that, but just make you feel cosy and warm?

I watched Mr Bean's Holiday for the first time in ages and I find there's something so wholesome and strangely innocent about it

Maybe this is childhood nostalgia, maybe it's because he has probably the purest goal of a protagonist in any story I've seen (he's not seeking purpose or meaning or connection or anything like that, he just wants to get to the beach lol) but the ending where he is just so overjoyed to be there really gives the warm fuzzies

The exception to this is maybe the one suicide joke where they're ringing people trying to find the kid's dad, and get the response in French "tell me you love me, or it's over!" and they hang up and he jumps off a bridge, but honestly that was so unexpected and extreme it really made me laugh

What's everyone else's comfort movie, that's special to them despite the fact it'd never be in contention for Best Picture or anything like that and probably has muted critical reception?
