Yup. Also the first Indiana Jones one.

The Princess Bride is a bloody good choice. "...Send for the Brute Squad!..."

Shawshank Redemption always made me smiley for the rest of the day.

eternal sunshine is such a good feel-good movie.

saying that, Groundhog day has got to be the best

Amelie is a definite, even listening to the soundtrack is enough to make me smile.

A Little Princess. I've loved for more than half my life.

Fight Club. I watch it every now and then when I get peeved at how shallow some people can get and it makes me laugh. Especially Bob. "We're still men!"

The Goonies...nothing even comes close. If I'm in a sh*tty mood, that one never fails to put a smile on my face.

Forrest Gump is awesome and I love Gary Sinise in that. It makes me feel good at the end but not through the whole movie if anyone follows me.

Field of Dreams (any American boy who doesn't get a little teared up at 'You wanna have a catch?' is missing a very important part of his soul)

Goonies is the best answer, i agree. But if i had to pick another i'd say Cool Runnings. Like they finished in last place, but on some other level.... they really finished first O.o

Addams Family, this choice scares me but oh well

Kalena 03-24-05 03:12 PM

Films that spring to mind are:

A Night at the Roxbury (Just hearing the song "What is Love?" brings a smile to my face)
The Wedding Singer
Both the Wayne's World films
Both the Bill and Ted films
Say Anything
Zoolander
Godzilla

Magnum P.I. 04-05-05 03:11 AM

Oh man! When I need my "feel good fix", I definitely turn to good ol' 80's movies (Top Gun, Revenge of The Nerds, The Golden Child, Big Trouble In Little China, Back To The Future and Ghostbusters, just to name a few of my favourites) and I'd say my ultimate feel good movie is Coming To America with Eddie Murphy. A classic!

I don't know. There's just something with 80's movies that's so unique in the way they were filmed.
