Legally Blonde - it's probably my favourite movie ever and I don't tire of it.

When we flew to the US in 2018 there were tonnes of new films on the entertainment system and DH was baffled that I watched Legally Blonde for the 400th time Grin

Liar liar
Back to the Future
Paddington 2

I also like legally blond.
It is very uplifting and well acted.
The full Monty is funny.

Mentions of Field of Dreams made me think of another great and feel good baseball movie, Bull Durham.

Needhelp101 · 31/05/2021 16:24

So many good films already mentioned!
Liar, Liar (the bloopers at the end are creasingly funny)
Legally Blonde, wonderful and so feminist
I also like Central Intelligence. Very funny and the Rock is so sweet in it. Wonderful chemistry with Kevin Hart.

Legally Blonde might be my all time favorite feel good movie.

I don't think Billy Elliot has been mentioned. That's a good one for sure; the ending is one of the best feel good endings of all time.

Moonstruck with Cher is on BBC iPlayer now.

Brackenandbramble · 31/05/2021 17:17

The Greatest Showman, Grease, Mama Mia and Hairspray. I think I love musicals! Not everyone's taste but always feel good and uplifting

Sweet home Alabama

merryhouse · 31/05/2021 19:43

Back to the Future - all three if you've got time
Paddington - either or both
How to Train your Dragon
The Lego Movie
Valiant
Legally Blonde
Sound of Music doesn't quite fit the brief (I start choking up on the first rendition of Edelweiss...) but it's quite cathartic

merryhouse · 31/05/2021 19:44

ooh, mention of Working Girl (seconded, btw) reminds me of 9 To 5

Serpenta · 31/05/2021 19:48

Baby Boom is another good, 'NYC in the 1980s, $$$, high-flying businesswoman film sticking it to the suits' type watch.

And Sam Shepherd is super sexy in it.

ghostyslovesheets · 31/05/2021 19:54

Crazy Stupid Love - I'm thrilled someone else mentioned it!

Great film

ghostyslovesheets · 31/05/2021 19:54
