YES!!!!!!!


"Cool Runnings" and "Coming to America"!


2 films that me and one of my best mates ca pretty much quote word for word!


All the Shreks, and Finding Nemo.


BN5, brave man saying Dirty Dancing, but it is classic, and the soundtrack is brill (with the odd exception).

Hey guys, I think we're getting a little outside the remit with some of these selections. Although I like "Shawshank" its probably only a feel-good when you watch it a second or third time when you know he gets out. "Schindler's" na, only watched it once but way too serious. Out and out screwball comedies surely can't make the list. There are too many victims. Laughing at the misfortune of others might be funny but it doesn't make you smile warmly.


I didn't want to include kiddies films in the list but "Ratatouille" and "Kung Fu Panda" make me smile throughout.

Juno

Once

Love Actually/Bridget/Dirty Dancing/Harry & Sally/Sleepless in Seattle/Notting Hill

Shawshank

Jack & Sarah

Enchanted (if you haven't seen it, do, it's lovely)

The Wedding Singer

Cool Runnings!

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

50 First Dates (it's the sea lion)

The Goonies!

"Feel good is too subjective to be a clear genre surely?"


I'd say "feel good" can be a genre or a purely personal thing


I like "The Commitments" which I guess is a "feel good" genre film


"Where Eagles Dare" isn't, but it's a feel good film for me because of the nostalgia factor - before the arrival of DVDs, Sky movie channel etc., a classic 60s war film on TV on a Saturday afternoon was a treat - and because the Richard Burton/Clint Eastwood combo is an absolute winner.

I don't think I could quite go along with any HK kung fu film... but there are certain ones I can watch again and again.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
