Film What are your great feel good films? Vs. Why am I crying?

[BK38]

So, as the thread title says, I'd like some feel-good films for when you're feeling blue and just want something to cheer you up! Beautiful, but slightly sad is acceptable I suppose too... Anything that makes you feel better tbh... I'll get us started..:

• Zootopia
• Phenomenon
• What Dreams May Come
• Isle of Dogs
• Matilda
• Pleasantville
• Tropic Thunder

Zoolander
Step brothers
Across The Universe

 

[Stark]

The Princess Bride

 

[TheLoveBandit]

Phenomenon

I really liked that one, and in my mind it is closely tied with Powder (1995). I may need to watch both again before long. Though, Powder may leave you more sad than feel-good.

The Princess Bride

An absolute must for a list of 'feel good' movies.

I love that film, Powder is great, but yeah, also kinda sad, but a beautiful sad.

Thought a little bit more, trying to stay away from comedy and more on the uplifting....but fell somewhere in between thinking about the John Hughes films:

16 Candles << Everyone has a place
The Breakfast Club << Be who you are
Ferris Bueller's Day Off << Enjoy life

And I put one of my favorites in that category, though JH didn't do it:

Say Anything << Be who you are

• The Shawshank Redemption
• Ratatouille
• As Good As It Gets

[Stark]

almost famous

The Tiny Dancer bus scene is so cheesy and uplifting and absolutely perfect and it's not possible to feel bad during it.

 

[TheLoveBandit]

Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

 

[LadyAlkaline]

I can't remember the movie, but I do remember that the Time Traveler's Wife made me bawl

Life Is Beautiful

 

[TheLoveBandit]

Older, but 'Lean on Me' with Morgan Freeman as a principal could fall in this category. Give a shit, make a difference in the lives of others, be loved and appreciated for it.

 

[Cheshire_Kat]

Emperor of the North Pole, a great Lee Marvin film about about human dignity and respect for others as individuals as seen trough the lives of Hobos in the Great Depression Era.

 

[Mysterier]

Harvey
Big Fish
Freaks
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Frances Ha
Koyaanisqatsi

 

[BK38]

Harold & Maude (1971)

 

[extropy]

The Big Lebowski - just knowing The Dude is out there taking her easy for all of us calms my nerves :-D

 

[ChemicallyEnhanced]

These never fail to put me in a good mood:

White Chicks
Scary Movie (1-3)
Smiley Face
The House Bunny
Mean Girls
Easy A
Sleepaway Camp 2 and 3
Serial Mom
Legally Blonde
Ferris Buellers Day Off
Friday
Not Another Teen Movie
IT (2017)

A Haunted House
The Stanford Prison Experiment (maybe not for most people but I just find it damn sexy)
Spun
Funny Games (2007)
Pretty much anything with Anna Faris..
