best feel good movies
 
what are the movies that are just fun or make you feel good for one reason or another?

Two that come to mind for me are Big Daddy and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

For me, nothing beats Amélie. Nothing.

Sedai 02-22-05 06:20 PM

I'm with the Amelie as well. The Goonies always puts me in a good mood too....

Lord of the Rings Return of the King. you really get the feeling if you watch all three of them in a row.

I didn't notice this earlier...what a great choice! I've always loved this one. Quick, witty, and very, very, funny. This is my favorite Sly film. Period.

Speaking of the funny man named George: What about Love at First Bite? I remember laughing a lot when I was kid watching that one too...but I don't really know if it's anything that can be considered 'feel good', but funny rather. Though funny does 'feel' good...but there has to be some sort of line drawn in order to tell the two apart.

I guess the line would be that the movie has to be fairly bright and sunny and has to have a happy ending. It should be fun and not too serious. But then again you could argue that any movie that makes you feel good could be considered a feel good movie.

It's a wonderful Life can always make you feel good around Christmas time.

I definately agree with Forest Gump, it's a very uplifting story. Also I felt Garden State, Dead Poet's Society, 50 First Dates and Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind have made me feel good as of late :D.

I agree heartily with Garden State. Even though it was a bit sappy I got sucked into it and the characters were great. I love scrubs and I was glad to see Zach Braff in a movie.

I don't know... for me, it's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Any agree with me on that one?
