Comforting science fiction (lemmy.world)

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.

I've heard of this. is it scifi? it always sounded like a YA novel title.

oh shit is there a film version?? I can't read

It's what the Han Solo movie should have been.
The adventures of a lovable rag tag crew doing whatever's needed on the fringes of settled space to keep their transport ship flying for another run.

10 episodes of a prematurely cancelled show due to the incompetence of Fox plus a movie called Serenity which wraps up what should have been the rest of season 1. It's about a crew that does odd jobs in a Rimworld/space cowboy-esque theme.

I just watched it again for like the nth time. It's still so good. It has Nathan Filion, Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin and the fantastic Summer Glau!

The show is great, although i have noticed how it has a pretty high amount of shots of Summer Glau's feet. Just Summer Glau walking and the camera panning to her feet, over and over, almost every episode. It doesn't even make sense because the spaceship is made of metal grates and sheets, not carpet.

I'm guessing the show runner was into feet. But other than that, the show is pretty wholesome.

It has my all time favorite TV theme song too (ok, maybe tied with Trème).

For real. I always skip show intros, i find them a pointless waste of time and resources that I'm just going to skip anyway, but this show and Game of Thrones are the exceptions because of the cool songs. I am not familiar with Trème though.

It’s a docudrama about New Orleans right after Katrina. A great, but difficult and disturbing watch. It was mostly filmed locally and each episode was named after a song and featured a local band. It was also a fundraiser.

And here’s the Firefly theme. The only song I think I’ve air-violined to. So much nostalgia…
