Please help me choose a film...

[Dilbertian]

Something lighthearted, maybe funny, maybe feel-good. Preferably not cheesy. Language doesn't matter, happy to use subtitles.

We're having a filmarathon tonight and I'm being asked to choose a film. But I really don't know what's around.

Saving Grace the one with Brenda Blethyn
Cool Runnings
A boy called Christmas

What age group? For 15 and over - Amelie (french with subtitles) is sweet and romantic (but not sickly sweet), games night is silly "action" fun, new jumanji is quite good.

Love cool runnings - and Eddie the Eagle is also surprisingly good and has funny bits (and has Hugh Jackman!)

15+

We tried watching Amelie a few years ago, but it didn't grip us and we fell asleep (admittedly we were sleep-deprived from having a small baby).

Cool Runnings - a good one, but we've seen it.

I'll look up the others.

We're the millers. Cracks me up every time.

Keeping Mum - very British slightly black humour. Rowan Atkinson, Kristen Scott Thomas & Dame Maggie Smith.

Have you seen The Dressmaker? It's one of my favourites. Not a comedy, but has some very funny bits.

Lighthearted..The Nativity
More serious The Hand of God..set in Naples
King Richard..Story of Venus and Serena Williams childhood with their Dad Richard

Have you seen The Gentleman? Ticks all boxes for me!

How about solo. Is quite fast paced, and the actor that plays young hans solo is good. And the droids get the best lines.

Wonder
Green Book
Captain Fantastic
The Blind Side
Little Miss Sunshine
Pleasantville

Planes, Traines and Automobiles.
Uncle Buck.

'Instant family' is a laugh out loud, feel good one

'Super intelligence' is also laugh out loud and feel good

Green inferno by Eli Roth, it’s a horror film but has comedic moments

I second Green Book, really made me think, but don’t let that put you off as it’s an excellent film.
Also, The Intouchables, French subtitles and believe me I don’t watch sub-titled films but it was so funny. They have done an American version but not as good as the original.

We watched Keeping Mum. It was perfect I expected slapstick from Rowan Atkinson, and was pleasantly surprised.

Hsppy New Year MNers

Anything here you've not seen - all good/lighthearted

Eddie the Eagle
The Grand Budapest Hotel
About Time
Knives Out
Paddington 2

The boat that rocks. One of my favourites.
