Private Benhamin on Amazon Prime starring Goldie Hawn. Funny, feminist and uplifting.

Definitely Eddie the eagle with hugh Jackman in. As soon as it finished i said it was such a feel good film 😃

DDemelza · 27/04/2020 20:12

Bloodbath at the House of Death and Theatre of Blood are both very funny.

PrivateSpidey · 27/04/2020 20:12

Yes Legally Blonde! Love it.

I also love Sing (got to love a big final performance/concert in a film!), You've Got Mail (and the film it's based on, The Shop Around the Corner), and Clueless.

The Intouchables / Intouchables
A French film , a true story. Hilarious, inspirational and one of my most favourite films .

The Blind Side is really feel good. Fighting With My Family is more recent and good too.

DamnYankee · 27/04/2020 20:41

Legally Blonde is the film I watch again and again to lift my spirits. Chocolat is also feel good.

I agree with this ^. Be sure to view Chocolat with cocoa and a croissant Smile. And the PP who mentioned Field of Dreams.

Dirty Dancing. Beautiful Patrick Swayze brightens the darkest day :-)
