The Big Year. Jack Black, Owen Wilson and Steve Martin are competitive birders. Funny, of course, but also mildly serious.

I watched this thinking it works be awful. Was terribly cute!

Hunt for Red October
Parent Trap (60s) and Parent Trap (90s)

The complete Lord of the Rings movie collection, including the Hobbit movies.

For stupid funny, also think the movie Long Shot w Seth Rogan and Charlize Theron is a good one.

Weird movies that stick in your brain:

The Lobster
What We Do In the Shadows (movie and show)
The Painted Veil (romantic but a bit sad)
Anything by Pedro Almodovar or Lars Von Trier

Stupid funny:
I Love You, Man
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Borat (always makes me laugh)
21 and 22 Jump Street
Spinal Tap

Older great movies:
The Jerk
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Cabaret
The Apartment
Glengarry Glen Ross
Working Girl
The Graduate
Harold and Maude

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Therapist recommend ways to distract while doing therapy.

Maybe you need some therapy, OP. Watching movies to forget about your life sounds so sad.

Kdramas are so great if you watch the right ones. I think they're actually amazing for lower mental health times. I find reading the subtitles helps me even more to "forget my life." A few excellent ones on Netflix:
- Rain or Shine (this has a justice element to it, if you enjoy that)
- Crash Landing on You (careful that this one doesn't ruin all others for you, ha)
- Extraordinary Attorney Woo (about an autistic attorney, really lovely and endearing)
- Start Up (a bit more escapist)
- Castaway Diva (a bit more escapist)
- It's Okay Not to Be Okay (a bit more escapist)
- My Mister (sad but hopeful)
- Our Blues (lots of overlapping stories of enduring and overcoming sadness in life)

truer words never spoken

In Her Shoes
Knight and Day
San Andreas
Armageddon
