Hello,

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

Thanks

The Life of Pi.
The film is as good as the book, less philosophical but a feast for the eyes. Our family of various ages gave a sigh of satisfaction when it was over.
Life-affirming for our times.

Coming on to give a few left of field options:

Red Dog (Austrailan about a dog)
Brooklyn (about an Irish girl who emigrates)
Angel's Share (very Scottish, funny, sweary about a man's attempt to make money in a daring theft)
The Way (About a pilgrimage with some very unlikely characters)

Watched the intern on Amazon prime last night and it was really good! Lining up the next movie for today, gone for the help!

I really love The Bounty with Mel Gibson as an oldie. It’s quite good escapism.....perhaps not overly uplifting but not depressing either.

Paddington 1 & 2
Hugh Grant in Paddington 2 is a star!
