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

Kids Films:

The Rescuers
Jungle Book
Toy Story
Mary Poppins
Aristocats

Just tried to find Enchanted April on Amazon and its says its only available on video!

My neighbour totorro is fab. DD watches it every day. Have just added "The Cat Returns" another of his to the top of my list for a bit of variety!

Any of the Jane Austen ones - Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility, Gwyneth Paltrow in Emma or Keira Knightley in P & P - or The Importance of Being Earnest - does have Reece Witherspoon but Rupert Everett and Colin Firth are so so funny.

The old Importance of Being Earnest with Margaret Rutherford and Edith Evans can't be beaten!

Brief Encounter, and that one with Russell Crowe as code breaker. Was it "The Brilliant Mind?".

Aslo personally am desperate to see Pirates of Carribean 2. Johnny Depp as Jack (swoon..so dashing...)

Speaking of Rupert Everett. I'm reading his bio atm.

Poor Reese is getting a hard time!! If you can suspend the no sobbing rule, 'Life is Beautiful' is just fantastic.

Fizzbuzz - you mean A Beautiful Mind. Agree - top film.

Also suggest The Bridges of Maddison County = top film with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep but may fail the test as you may cry at the end.

Also second all votes for Doris Day films.

No,'Life is Beautiful' or 'Vita è bella' It's in Italian with subtitles. set in WW2 concentration camp but very uplifting.

Cinema Paradiso for loveliness.

What about Bob really makes me laugh.
