suggestions for 'lovely films' please

[Cappuccino]

am on the hunt for 'lovely films' after watching Steve Martin's Shopgirl at the weekend

they must be
a) lovely to look at
b) intelligent
c) not miserable

am trying to cheer self up with nice films after too much CSI so any suggestions much appreciated

but anyone who mentions The English Patient will have their Maltesers confiscated as it is a huge pile of wank

Il Postino?

oh yes seen that very nice

next

Amelie!

I always love watching 'Much ado about nothing' (the Kenneth Branagh version), especially in the winter, as it looks gorgeous (set in Tuscany, I think), has lovely language and costumes, and a happy ending. But I appreciate that Ken and Em aren't necessarily everyone's cup of tea.

Prarie Home Companion

When Harry Met Sally

Howards End

Days of Heaven
Fargo

Etre et Avoir

Chocolat

In the Mood For Love (korean, nothing happens, set int he 60's, gorgeous and so romantic)
Raise the Red Lantern (soooooooooo beautiful)

etre et avoir lovely but a documentary more than a film. Great though.

oh gawd, I sobbed throughout etre et avoir. Can still hear poor Valentin crying for his mother.

Enchanted April

no ffs no crying

stop it with the crying films

french films generally tick those boxes

The philedelphia story
Funny Girl
It could happen To you (nicholas gage and bridget fonda, set in NY, lovely, sweet, romantic)

Etre et Avoir = touching, poignant but not sobworthy (unless pregnant at time of watching perhaps)

Ladies in Lavender

Babettes Feast

Gigi
Kate and leopold
Lost In translation
Sense and sensibility

Was going to say the hairdressers husband , but the endings very sad.

(these are my watching under a blanket on the sofa films btw)

Rebecca (the old one with lovely lovely Joan Fontaine)

Before sunrise
Before Sunset

Fargo?

definitely Enchanted April if you can get it..

Or Room With a View?
