Feelgood films

[inthedeepshade]

I've just watched Shakespeare in Love for the first time in years and enjoyed it so much. It's such a lovely, funny, silly film and made a nice change from my usual viewing. I'm going to bed all happy and cheerful for once!

What are your favourite feel-good films? Would love some recommendations please.

Preferably no crime, cruelty, gore or superheroes (I love Marvel/DC but honestly can't watch any more superhero movies or I will turn into the Hulk).

Father of The Bride (both of them!)

I like As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson.

I love watching that all cost on a cold wet Sunday afternoon for some reason

Ferris Buellers day off, makes me laugh every single time

Princess Bride
When Harry met Sally

I liked the best exotic marigold hotel and the sequel second best

Little miss sunshine
Full monty
Pride
kinky boots
Brassed off

Under the Tuscan Sun

Something's Gotta Give

Princess Bride
Little Miss Sunshine
Stardust

Thank you! Loads here that I haven't seen or want to watch again!

Have you seen mama mia and the sequel here we go again ? I don't even really like Abba, but the films are easy watching and make me smile and sort of brings the songs to life.

Also for a tv box set two pints of lager and a packet of crisps is good. It is old though, late 90s/early 00s so not especially PC.

Field on Dreams

Of dreams

Mrs Harris Goes To Paris

Just went through my film collection and found the rest

50 first dates
Chuck & Larry
Run fat boy run
Get him to the Greek
Due date
The boat that rocked
What happens in Vegas
Ratatouille
Hitch

About a boy, Mrs Henderson presents and goal are all good with a happy ending, but there's a (non-gorey) death in the story so a sad bit. Sean of the dead is brilliant but there's a little bit of gore (although generally nothing too awful) because it's a zombie comedy.

Love big business. - Bette midler A silly 80’s movie.
If I want a laugh then it has to be white chicks, laugh every time I watch it.

While you were sleeping, gets double points as it is also a Christmas film

Clueless!
Bull Durham (baseball, Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon)
Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensiblity

Clueless
10 Things I Hate About You
A Room with a View
How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days

Tea with Mussolini (Danch, Smith and Cher)

Following.

Beaches

I might be alone in this, but I love Shallow Hal which is on the Disney app.

Devil Wears Prada is on there too.

I also love Practical Magic.

Pride and Prejudice
The Wedding Date (admittedly this is my feel good film when I feel really off!)

Soapdish. Quite old now but one of the funniest films I've ever seen. More of a rolling giggle than a belly laugh maybe but they don't lean on most of the jokes, its so quick and so well performed. As light as a feather.

Sense and Sensibility 😍

Two Weeks Notice

Notting Hill
