Keef Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Adventures in babysitting. One of the best 80s films, and I was in love with Elizabeth Shue.

SeanMacGabhann Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 i like those films quids... but "feelgood" - watchable yes, but only Bill and Ted would warrant multiple viewings for me Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7411-favourite-feel-good-films/page/2/#findComment-234966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I don't know, the first American Pie was great, and I saw "Meet the parents" for the second time the other day (first time being a good couple of years ago), and really enjoyed it. The bit with the vollyball in the pool is classic!

MrBen Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Not classic "feel good" more comedy but I like Happy Gilmour which is brilliant and a soft spot for National Lampoons Vacation films.Feel good endings - I like True Romance - ends up on a remote beach in Mexico, painting an old boat, with his girl...skint,a few bullet wounds but finally happy.

Keef Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I was going to put True Romance in my list (one of m favourite films), but wasn't sure it could count as "feel good".

MrBen Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 No it doesn't - almost more bullets than Scarface in it! But I like the idea that after all the violence, drugs he ends up in such peace in the sun - kind of a metaphor that I aspire to...Also not feel good but watched the brilliant Badlands the other night and it's got the same score as True Romance - I wonder if that was intentional Tarantino referencing...film geeks?

Moos Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Almost all Audrey Hepburn movies. I'm another in the Shawshank camp.Juno is a recent one that made me smile. Really cheesy old musicals like Calamity Jane, High Society and Oklahoma!.Some of the better kiddie moves (I'm feeling brave today) like Monsters Inc and the 2nd Shrek film.Mr Ben and Keef, True Romance makes the list just for the fantastic music in the last scene on the beach - can't hear its life-affirming lilt and pulse and not smile.

Brendan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I like the Frodo goes to Mordor series for easy-watching leave me with a smile type films.
