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

I guess by 'intelligent' I just meant 'not starring Reece Witherspoon'

Jean dD Florette
Manon Des Sources

oh sorry forgot you said intelligent

Has anyone mentioned Field of Dreams? Tis my favourite film of all time (just look at my profile for confirmation )

I love The Nasty Girl choosyfloosy!
Also In the Mood for Love

lots of faves on here, how about also

Metropolitan & Barcelona, by Whit Stillman
Sideways
Day for Night (La Nuit Americaine, Truffaut)
Enchanted April
Room with a View

And not strictly a film, but the recent Casanova, with David Tennant looked stunning, and was very witty.

I second The Station Agent too

North by Northwest - love that film
and Bringing Up Baby

ooh I do love a lovely film, especially on a cold winter day

Oh God, a classist film thread... Reece Withspoon... how dreadful! And I was going to suggest Just Like Heaven as well...

You're going to miss out with a spec like that...

The African Queen - all-time loveliest film

jean de florette and manon are beautifully shot and acted, but could qualify as a little moody and miserable IMO. If you are prone to crying they will set you off.

Singing in the Rain

Sorry - and agree totally with adad, Jean de Florettes and Manon des Sources

Agree - Tokentotty - fab film.

oh yes singing in the rain

on the town just as good!

what about "beautiful girls"?
Ninotchka?
and that other movie with steve martin and sjp can't remember the title.....
the big chill

L'Homme du Train

LA Story, franca - that is such a cheerful film
I love Steve Martin generally so would also suggest The Man with Two Brains and All of Me, plus The Jerk. They are intelligent after a fashion
Oh, also, if you like folk music or dogs, Christopher Guest's silly ensemble comedies A Mighty Wind and Best in Show. Fabulous scripts and acting

Before Sunrise

i'd go with l'homme du train. Nice and lighthearted.

Thought 'Ray' (life of Ray Charles) was a fabulous film too.

LA story, thanks marina. the man with two brains is another favourite here. Actually I like steve martin so much that I even liked the remake of the father of the bride

speaking of steve martin Parenthood is a lovely film

it is, there's a very young joaquin phoenix and a young keanu reeves, if I remember well

Some like it hot
Waking ned
Saving Grace
