Which sci-fi titles (movies, books) do you consider comforting, cozy, something you come back to from time to time? For me, I guess it is The Matrix. Still holds up to this day, gets better with every re-watch, and gives me a sense of peace when I need it.

Extremely soft sci-fi, but I just finished Starter Villain by John Scalzi and it was a great time. Nothing life changing, but it made me smile a lot. I liked his style so I read The Kaiju Preservation Society next, also a cozy adventure. I moved on to his Locked In series, which is police procedural mystery sci-fi that deals with the aftermath of a pandemic that leaves 1% of the world with locked-in syndrome. It's not as feel-good, but I've burned through the first two pretty quickly.
