Both to illustrate what I'm after and also give something in return for your recs.
Probably some more out there I don't have on my mind at the moment.

I think that my "comfort food" film (Hot Fuzz, Kung Fu Hustle, etc) might veer more silly and action-y than you're looking for.
Have you seen Alamar?

I think Predator and They Live are my go-to comfort food films, but I'm not sure if you're looking for action.
I'd also recommend The Music Man, Groundhog Day, The Wizard of Oz, Some Like it Hot, Elf, To Be or Not to Be, and The Shop Around the Corner (not sure if these have already been mentioned, but I'll mention them anyways).
