I'm after some uplifting Netflix to take my mind off some bad news......

[Sunbeamofthenorth]

Hey Mumsnetters & Netflixers
Can anyone recommend something uplifting? A film would be good.
I'm feeling very down after receiving some shit news & i've got half a bottle of Aldi wine and a pizza. What fits the bill? 🤔

Wine country!

And sorry for your bad news

Watching with interest!

Watched “murder mystery” the other day - not great but amusing enough to keep you entertained. Same with “always be my maybe”.

The Good Place, I binge watched all of the episodes in a few days.

Isn’t it romantic
Dumplin

Really enjoyed both feel-good films

Also Okja ,a gentle story about a girl and a giant bio- engineered pig

I hope your news improves

Gilmore girls

Sorry you’re going through a bad time.

If you like dogs I’d recommend a dogs home. It’s a documentary though not a film. It’s about a couple who rescue dogs who would otherwise be euthanised. It’s sad at times but uplifting too to know that there are such kind hearted people in the world. The dogs are very cute too.

I rewatched Pitch Perfect the other day. That's good fun. Big Bang Theory, Friends, The IT Crowd, Miranda and The Good Place are my go-to mindless programmes.

Have you got 4OD? There was a great film on at the weekend called The Hunt For The Wilderpeople. Good fun.

Not a film but Queer Eye is so uplifting

Sorry - just noticed you said film!

Before we go. Or Home Again.

I second the good place. Also suggest friends or grace and frankie

Love pitch perfect.

Pride is really uplifting but might have to rent it.

Murder mystery is meh but enjoyable if you dont expect much.

Dumplin is easy watching and feel good

Second vote for Wine Country - it's hilarious!

Currently watching The Happytime Murders. It's really funny. It's a very adult Muppets movie, but bloody hilarious!!!

The Boat that Rocked is a great one. I think that's what it's called. About pirate radio. Very funny. Very absorbing.

Oh, and one more: Eddie the Eagle! Very uplifting, and it's got Hugh Jackman in it. What more could you ask?

Sorry to hear you're having a bad time.

I challenge you to watch 'isn't it romantic' and not feel happy!

Sex Education - a series, but very funny and quirky and an easy watch

Another vote for the Hunt for the Wilderpeople, or anything with Sam Neill in for that matter!

I'm not sure if it's considered uplifting but Schitts Creek is brilliant

Little Italy is a cheesy but very light and watchable film. Sorry you've received bad news.

Definitely The Good Place - smart, uplifting, genuinely funny.

to you

Thanks everyone 💚
Wine Country it is....... 👀
