These are my favorite comfort movies that I’ll be making a point to watch throughout Black History Month. Black History is history and these cover a wide range from comedy, romance, to action. Watch with me!
This is such a classic and feels like such a cutesy movie to just have on after a long day. Tyra really shines bright in this
Life-Size
I remember loving this movie so much as a kid, definitely need to rewatch again soon
Doctor Dolittle
One of my absolute favorite holiday movies, but honestly could watch this anytime of the year and will probably watch it at least two more times before the holidays this year
Last Holiday
If you’re craving a movie that’ll make you yell at the TV and go from being disappointed to excited to giddy to heartbroken and back again this is the one, such a great pick
Just Wright
Hot take this movie is better than the first one, love the way the cast interacts with each other and the home improvement plot is SO FUNNY throughout
Are We Done Yet?
Another hot take…the second of this movie series is closer to the heart, BUT this one is still very much so loved. Family, funny and Eddie Murphy plays basically everyone. What’s not to love?
The Nutty Professor
THE LOVE I HAVE FOR THIS MOVIE! Just watch!! Janet Jackson’s acting is so sweet in this, the family dynamic has leveled up and it’s an all around good laugh + the soundtrack! Chef’s kiss!!
Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
This changed my brain chemistry I swear, I’ll randomly yell out “Murph!” this is such an endearing movie, great viewing for all ages!! The kiddos can get their fill and women can definitely get theirs with the very nice to look at Morris Chestnut fro...
Like Mike
Another great holiday pick, but I’m of the ilk that you can watch & enjoy a feel good holiday movie whether it’s December or July
This Christmas
This movie is so slept on, the dance medieval dance scene is enough for me to recommend you watch, so so funny I still find myself saying “a boom boom” sometimes
Black Knight
Classic geeks vs populars story and the cast and acting is funny. They put their whole foot in this one. Adore it!
Love Don't Cost a Thing
Yet another Christmas movie, BUT HEAR ME OUT, this one is probably top 2 and I don’t think it’s number 2. Plus watch to stare in awe at how gorgeous Whitney Houston is
The Preacher's Wife
If you grew up in the 2000s you know when this came out the earth shifted a little bit. A hands down hit and a half!!
The Cheetah Girls
A great movie to be sure, but also Halle Berry with the platinum blonde hair makes it a must see
B*A*P*S
It had to be done…the one that truly started it all
Diary of a Mad Black Woman
Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger. Can I take your order? Nickelodeon’s just not doing it like this anymore sadly
Good Burger
10/10 essential sports movie watch. What happened to Lola Bunny in this I’ll never know…
Space Jam
The soundtrack!!! This is my favorite iteration of Cinderella and the other ones aren’t even close
Cinderella
Part of the dance movie craze of the 2000s BUT so good and made me want to be a part of greek life (I didn’t end up doing it, but still the thought was there)
Stomp the Yard
So many all stars in this one! Plus the soundtrack all 70s hits!! Really great watch
Roll Bounce
I can’t even put my finger on why I hold this movie so close to the heart, but I do and have for basically my whole life so nostalgia maybe, but I do think it’s a really good movie too
Major Payne
This one made me wish I could play in the school band or be on the dance team…I did neither, but it did birth my love for watching southern bands on YouTube for the rest of my life
Drumline
Yes, it’s based on a biblical tale, BUT it has so much packed in about brotherhood, relationships, acceptance, rivalry…easy 11/10 watch imo
The Prince of Egypt
The entire cast is FUNNY even the side characters incredible comedic timing. Love this movie DOWN…
Deliver Us from Eva
One of my favorite movies, just look at the material, beautiful people, beautiful cinematography, the plot could’ve used a little massaging, BUT still a high rank for me
Love Jones
I still will never forgive the Oscars for letting this one slip away vastly under-nominated and decorated. Incredible film, sound, cast, I could go on and on some more
Dreamgirls
The end credits dance scene is the cherry on top of a good movie. Beautiful cast and soundtrack!!
Seventeen Again
Still not over the art style + patiently/eagerly awaiting the sequel
