I go with Dr. Strangelove, Airplane and toss in the the Poirot with David Suchet and maybe Them.

'One day when I fly with my hands - up down the sky, like a bird'
But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place; some swearing, some crying for surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left.
Hyperides of Athens: We know, replied he, that Antipater is good, but we (the Demos of Athens) have no need of a master at present, even a good one.

Cause tomorrow is a brand-new day
And tomorrow you'll be on your way
Don't give a damn about what other people say
Because tomorrow is a brand-new day

Master and Commander
Barry Lyndon
Zama
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Jean de Florette
Although these are not all feel-good movies per se, they are sufficiently removed from mundane reality that they fulfil the 'forgetting' part.
Re: Movies to forget for a few hours that humanity is miserable and we are on the brink of extinction aka your favorite comfort movies.
The Truman Show guys, The Truman Show.
The Sick Baby Jester
Re: Movies to forget for a few hours that humanity is miserable and we are on the brink of extinction aka your favorite comfort movies.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy without a doubt
Also Hoodwinked is an absolute chaotic and comedic masterpiece

Carrey was a good actor, but he is an unbearable jerk and reckless beyond belief, so I'd not watch any of his stuff again
Re: Movies to forget for a few hours that humanity is miserable and we are on the brink of extinction aka your favorite comfort movies.
And I thought that my position of "canceling" Woody Allen, Polanski, Spacey or Tom Cruise were controversial... Say it louder Ciriaco, we are free to dislike/hate whoever we want!

I mean, he is a jerk, no two ways about it. Among his many jerkish behaviors is that time in the oscars where he just grabbed and kissed Alicia Silverstone, which afaik made her cry.
He is now old and his career is over, so it doesn't matter.
Re: Movies to forget for a few hours that humanity is miserable and we are on the brink of extinction aka your favorite comfort movies.
I wasn't being sarcastic or anything, I hadn't heard about Alicia Silverstone's kiss, only that he made some weird comments about vaccines or something? I don't remember, but it doesn't matter. My mother simply hated Michael Douglas, no perfectly reasoned explanation is required for you to dislike someone and not want to see them on screen. That said
