Finding that "Feel Good" movie.

[MikeGainer]

I have to admit, I'm not doing too well right now. I'm always on the verge of crying most of the time. I'm unemployed, I live with my parents with huge bills floating over my head, and my girlfriend dumped me. I need something that'll cheer me up. A good movie perhaps? Something like Big Fish or Field of Dreams.

I just watched Groundhog Day this afternoon for the 100th time probably. Made me laugh and lot and cheered me up anyway.


Also if I want cheering up I'll flick on an episode of Quantum Leap that are on every day on the UK Sci-Fi channel. Nothing like a bit of Sam-Beckett-always-doing-the-right-thing to make me feel good

 

[Bacl]

Try "The Station Agent."

A rather mixed kind of list here, but these films always manage to put me in good spirits:

Notting Hill
Stardust
Anything from Pixar
What's Up, Doc?

 

[Mistral]

I agree with the Pixar comment. However,what I think you need is a taste of The Dude!

 

[auntiehill]

Try "The Station Agent."

Excellent choice. I love that film.

"Rudy" is another one that makes me so happy, I get all misty-eyed. And I don't even like sports.

"Trains, Planes and Automobiles," is a good November movie; it always makes me laugh.

Also, "About a Boy," "Love, Actually," "The Mighty" and "Singing in the Rain."

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Back to the Future

Ed Wood (believe me you watch this and you'll not only laugh but you also won't feel so bad!)

 

[Kirkman1987]

I second Ed Wood, and add Office Space.

 

[Canadave]

Almost Famous

It's one of my favourite movies, and never fails to put me in a good mood.

 

[BigFoot]

You should watch Chuck... it's not a movie, it's a TV show. It always cheers me up though.

 

[FPAlpha]

"Love, Actually,"

Oooh.. bad move for a person who's been dumped recently.

Pixar has been recommended already.. can't go wrong with them.

Try Kung Fu Panda.. awesome and very funny movie.

 

[Aragorn]

Are you a sucker for sports underdog movies that all have the same plot?

Remember the Titans, Glory Road, Miracle, Invincible, Rudy...

 

[BillJ]

Schindler's List

You know you don't have it as bad as those people...

 

[RoJoHen]

You should watch Chuck... it's not a movie, it's a TV show. It always cheers me up though.

Fuck yes.

"Chuck" makes me smile in ways that no show ever has.

 

[BigFoot]

^ Agreed.

 

[Super Grover]

Uncle Buck.

"Hi, I'm Buck Melanoma, Moley Russel's wart."

My secret recipe for feel-goodness:

Hitch
No Reservation
Music & Lyrics

Remind me never to watch movies with you.

 

[Lonemagpie]

The Blues Brothers
Or for the upcoming Xmas vibe, Die Hard

 

[Evil_Kirkneivel]

Heart and Souls - I watched it twice in a row, and the second time, I started crying at the beginning!

It's A Wonderful Life - the classic film to cheer you up!
