Recommend a FEELGOOD movie to me!

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

I know there are plenty of examples on a Disney forum, but I'm looking for examples from every genre!

Why do I ask? I've seen a few downers recently and whilst I can appreciate the drama and cinematography, I just don't like the proliferation of scenes explicitly showing sex and/or drug abuse. And of course gore. I just want to see something that leaves me feeling, "YES!"

Example: The Greatest Showman. I saw that recently and just felt loved up!

Have you ever seen The American President with Michael Douglas and Annette Bening? It’s from 1995 but I have always loved that movie.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

The Intern with Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.

I highly recommend Mama Mia if you haven't seen it, it always leaves me happier!

And I adore 13 Going on 30.

I know you asked for a movie but if you have AppleTV Ted Lasso is a series and is wonderful!!
Season 2 isn’t as good

As Good as it Gets
Bridget Jones Diary
Every Pink Panther
Spiderman, Into the Spiderverse (animated movie was so pleasant)
Father of the Bride
Ocean's 11
Meet the Parents

A movie that I just absolutely love is THe Muppets (2011). If you want to get hit right in the nostalgia, that's the one.

If you want a series, I recommend The Mysterious Benedict Socitey. It's easly the most non-cynical thing I've seen in a while!

 

[Silver saucer]

Apollo 13
Legally Blonde
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Great British Baking Show (or Great British Bake Off if you are in the UK). It's not a movie but it's kind, gentle and fun!

We bought a Zoo

 

[ronandannette]

Hunt for the Wilderpeople
The Big Sick
Yesterday

If you are into sports, try "RUDY".

Let's go back to my childhood. Forget Disney, they were marginal back in the 80s. I suggest you pretend you're 6 - 11 years old again and watch Six Pack starring your hero Kenny Rogers! The Goonies is another good one.
The NeverEnding Story
ET
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
The Princess Bride

Se7en, it's about a young man looking to point out the ways society can improve. In the end he completes his mission even though it costs him his own life.

I rewatched Adventures in Baby Sitting after decades, on Disney Plus.
Also rewatched The Burbs. It's got a dark premise but it's fun.

Thanksgiving is coming, that's the time for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

Big Stone Gap on Netflix. Ashley Judd, Jenna Elfman, Whoopi Goldberg, and Patrick Wilson. Ashley Judd plays a 40 year old single woman I n a 1970's Virginia coal town. It's just heartwarming.

Uh, the one with Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey? Because that is the opposite of feel good.

Hoosiers.

The Upside with Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston. Based on a true story. Loved it!
