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.

Here's some I consider cozy:

Asimov's R. Daniel Olivaw Trilogy starting with "The Caves of Steel" is downright cozy.
Nathan Lowell's "Quarter Share" and the other "Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper".

And if you like to listen to books, "Quarter Share" is available as a podcast: https://chartable.com/podcasts/quarter-share/episodes

Edit: It varies by book, but many chapters of "The Vorkosigan Saga" are downright cozy.
