Crawl into bed, get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids, and settle back with some cinematic chicken soup and some motion picture penicillin&#8211;also known as comfort movies.<\/p>\n<p>The setting for the ideal comfort movie should not be too hot or too cold as that can be a distraction to those with fevers or chills. The plot should not be too complicated or too exciting in case you doze off a little. And while it does not have to be a comedy, it does have to be upbeat and cheerful because laughter can decrease blood pressure and boost your immune system. That means a comfort movie can not only help you get better faster; it is good preventative medicine. So pull up the covers, pop in some DVDs and enjoy these prescriptions from Dr. Movie Mom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Entertainment\/Movies\/2009\/01\/Top-10-Comfort-Movies.aspx?p=2\">To continue to Movie 1 click here!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since we are having a discussion in Group Beyond Blue about which movies we hate the most, or which do a horrific job of portraying mental illness on the big screen, I thought I&#8217;d post Movie Mom&#8217;s fun gallery on her 10 best comfort movies.
