Favourite "Feel Good" Films

[citizenED]

I caught a film, "Definitely, Maybe" earlier this week and it was a perfect, easy-to-watch movie. Nothing mind blowing, nothing too taxing but enjoyably watchable. Went to be with a smile on my face.

Coyote Ugly

Clueless

A Good Year

The Wedding Singer

Grosse Point Blank. Yeah, that's a good film, great soundtrack too.

Shawshank Redemption is a good shout too... that must be the ultimate feel-good ending!

[Jeremy]

Slumdog is a good one too. Like Shawshank... the hero goes through real suffering before emerging victorious. Rollercoaster of emotions, etc, etc.

[Sue]

Little Miss Sunshine :)

Not sure where 'smile' comes from.. but I class that as a "Feel Good" movie Schindler doing the right thing by throwing away his ill gotten riches to save the countless lives of strangers

[Keef]

Princess Bride is a good shout. Piers, I love Chasing Amy, but it always makes me a bit sad.

[Mick Mac]

Love actually

Brassed off - although with this one lots of sad bits too

[HonaloochieB]

Midnight Run - When Charles Grodin gives Robert De Niro the money at the end, how could you not feel good?

Passport To Pimlico - The very definition of 'pluck'.

The Sound Of Music - The sound of eight year old Catholic boys falling in love with Julie Andrews. OK I own up, Catholic guilty.

Oliver! - It's the songs. It's mainly the songs performed by Nancy - 'As long as 'e needs me, I know where I shall be...', 'There's a little ditty they're singing in the city, especially when they've been on the gin and the beer...'. ETC.

It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World - Epicly ludicrous, always a hoot.

Dumbo - If for nothing else than the crows, 'I seen a needle wink its eye...but I think I'll done have seen everything when I see a elephant fly'

What's Up Doc? - Streisand and O'Neil in a well-written farce. On top of their games. I mean whadda ya want?

Duck Soup - 80 odd minutes of perfect comedy. Some of the odd minutes contain Magaret Dumont. Thanks Margaret.
