Hello,

Does anyone have any feel good or uplifting film recommendations please? Old or new I really don't mind.

Thanks

About Time. Bonus of a beautiful house to drool over!

The family man always comforted me. I think I'm too cynical these days for it though.
Contact is a good film with a comforting underlying message.

I also love Parenthood - GnomeDePlume reminded me of it.

Another lovely film is "The Inn Of The Sixth Happiness" with Ingrid Bergman and very gorgeous Curd Jürgens...

I always cry, it's a terrific film.
