What are the best feel good films to watch when you are feeling down?

What movies would you suggest people watch if they are feeling down?

Elephant Man (1980) always brings me joy when I'm sad

Eh, Your favorite movie?

I think I'd be in bits . Possibly also because it's John Hurt – poor old John.

Seriously speaking, I used to watch an episode or two of FRIENDS whenever I felt down. It ALWAYS worked.

Movie wise, maybe something like The LEGO Batman Movie or The LEGO Movie might do.

My Cousin Vinny, Midnight Run, The 'Burbs.

More than anything Arrested Development though.

I did that too . I was watching two episodes every night a few years ago and it helped me no end.

The 'Burbs rules.

I just could not get into that show.

Yeah, it's not for everyone. How much did you try out of interest?

Was really down last week and Rick and Morty helped actually. Which is weird since some of it is depressing and is about how everything is pointless.

It's Wonderful Life. Any comedy with Ben Stiller.

Could not get through the pilot. Thought it was horrible.

The Pilot is probably the worst episode in the whole show. It takes four or five episodes to get going properly.

Might just not be for you though.

I happen to be watching My Cousin Vinny tonight!

Love it so much. It's not that it's the funniest film for me, it's just the whole mood of it, probably my favourite comedy.

When I'm down, I avoid comedies. Not necessarily fluffy films, but something that's a straight-up comedy, unless it's Monty Python. They cheer me up. I also watch sad movies, because I feel better about my situation when they end, though the fluffy films work better because they're entertaining without setting myself up for a big drop-off of emotion.

So, if I'm down, I'll watch...
The Good, the Bad, the Weird
Human Condition trilogy
Sleuth (1972)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Hunt for Red October
No Country for Old Men
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Suspicion
Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope
Big Short
Ikiru
