What feel-good film can I watch on Netflix or on Amazon Prime?

Feeling inexplicably low for some reason, probably hormonal. I'm home alone for the evening and want something feel-good to watch on Netflix or Amazon Prime. In the mood for a rom com or similar, but willing to consider other ideas that might lift my mood.

Any recommendations, please? TIA!

Have you watched the notebook

AlexaShutUp · 30/05/2019 18:41

No, don't think so. Is it worth a watch?

We watched The Intern with Anne Hathaway and Robert de Niro the other night - loved it.

Last night watched Salmon Fishing in the Yemen which we got both surprisingly into!

Sorry you’re feeling a bit low. If you really REALLY want cheering up, start on Frankie and Grace - it’s absolutely super!

The Blind Side is on Netflix. It's a brilliant film.

WishITookLifeSeriously · 30/05/2019 18:42

Also, Dumplin on Netflix

Bimblepops · 30/05/2019 18:43

Wine Country is brilliant

GemJR · 30/05/2019 18:43

To all the boys I've loved before is a good one on Netflix.
There was a great one with the same boy hiring himself out to be a date to earn money to go to college can't remember the name of it but it's a new one on netflix.

PivotPivotPivottt · 30/05/2019 18:43

The Other Woman is my favourite feel good film. Anything with Cameron Diaz or Jennifer Aniston are my go to films when I'm feeling like that.

HappyPunky · 30/05/2019 18:44

I enjoyed isn't it romantic. Rebel Wilson is it it.

AlexaShutUp · 30/05/2019 18:45

Oh wow, loads of suggestions. Thank you so much, will look at all of these and see which one might best suit my mood.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is my go to feel good film. I think it’s on Amazon though not sure if it’s free. It’s such a lovely film and will def cheer you up SmileFlowers

I Feel Pretty - Amy Schumer

Very funny and a definite feel good film.

Malteserdiet · 30/05/2019 18:48

When we first Met on Netflix is cute

barneymcgroo · 30/05/2019 18:49

The Grand Budapest Hotel. It's marvellous, charming, full of glorious lines and will warm your heart. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

feelingsinister · 30/05/2019 18:50

I really don't think The Notebook is a feel good film unless sobbing your heart out makes you feel good. 😄 Second vote for Wine Country.
Obviously Bridesmaids.
Ibiza was fun.

pisspawpatrol · 30/05/2019 18:54

All on Netflix:
Dumplin'
I feel pretty
To all the boy's i've loved before
Set it up.

The one @gemjr is talking about is called The Perfect Date, that's on my watch list. From friday there is one call Always be my Maybe with Ali Wong that I'm looking forward to watching too.

chandylier · 30/05/2019 18:56

Eddie the Eagle! It’s funny too

miaCara · 30/05/2019 18:56

I loved Naked on netflix. Its a timeslip type of comedy with the added bonus of a well toned body to look at . Apart from the obvious nudity Grin theres nothing to worry about.

pisspawpatrol · 30/05/2019 18:57

I forgot one of my favourite films ever! Easy A is on netflix at the moment and amazon too I think.

HelmutFrontbut · 30/05/2019 19:01

I second anything with Jennifer Aniston - Along Came Polly, Horrible Bosses and Just Go With It. Although two of these films star Adam Sandler/Ben Stiller who some find very irritating Grin

PivotPivotPivottt · 30/05/2019 19:03

Helmut love Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler together in movies.

KnitFastDieWarm · 30/05/2019 19:04

Pride! It’s not free but it’s cheap on amazon prime and it makes me feel like the world is basically a good and warm place Smile

Elllicam · 30/05/2019 19:08

Dumplin was brilliant. Lots of Dolly Parton songs.

Sadik · 30/05/2019 19:08

I'd second 'Isn't It Romantic' - romcom with a bit of a twist & very funny.

ThatCurlyGirl · 30/05/2019 19:10

The intern
The other woman
Just go with it
Isn't it romantic
I feel pretty

Last two especially made me properly laugh through a shit time very recently!

Hope you find something funny to help cheer you up ThanksThanksThanks
