Pls recommend a happy or cosy Netflix/Amazon film for tonight for a grieving person

[RuffRuffRuf]

Please could you suggest anything you've loved.

Doesn't actually have to be happy or a comedy. A cosy watch would do as would a non-ARRGH type of thriller - something mentally engaging or challenging. Something good that is not going to be distressing.

No love/romance/happy ever after.
No horror or violence or anything aggitating.
Nothing with jump scares.
Nothing very slow or boring - so not like Potato Peel Society, that one about the seashanty men, or the one with the woman who opens a bookshop in the middle of nowhere.

For example things I've enjoyed that would fit what I'm looking for but I've already seen
Wine Country (group of women on a holiday to Napa Valley)
Red Notice (Ryan Reynolds)
Red One (Christmas film about santa being kidnapped)
Spy (Miranda Hart, Melissa - comedy spy film)
The Glass Onion (I know this does feature death but I was ok with this sort of thing - cosy murder type)

I hate this as I end up scrolling and scrolling and not picking anything so thought I'd ask for some help!

The intern? There's a little bit of romance but it's not the main plot of the film. Nice combo of humour/a tiny bit of action/lots of feel good!

My go to is Babe 😊

Sorry for your loss.
No idea what to suggest but STRONGLY SUGGEST you stay away from that Reese Witherspoon/Will Ferrell thing that Prime are pushing.

It's shite. Not good shite, but utter, shitest shite.

On Amazon: Whip it. I'm sorry you are grieving x

If you like Ryan Reynolds and have Disney+ Fall Guy is good and meets your criteria.

I watched the whole of Gilmore Girls after my Dad died. (And painted the kitchen a dreadful grey colour)

But GG was a nice distraction.

Knives Out will keep your mind entertained/distracted for a while.

It's a good whodunnit

Any Agatha Christie.

The Marvellous Mrs Maisel on Amazon Prime.

Sideways

Men in Black.

Hidden Figures is absolutely brilliant, on Netflix. Historical drama based on a true story.

Clarksons Farm on Amazon Prime

Fall guy is a good RR film.

series wise, I really enjoyed the night agent. And I also think the suggestion of clarksons farm is good.

The Holdovers + it's a bit slow burn but quite sweet. Poignant and a little bittersweet.
About a boy

Brooklyn 99 got me through lots of sleepless nights after losing my dad.

Sorry for your loss @RuffRuffRuf x

not a film and there is some romance, but Schitts creek always cheers me up.

don’t know if it’s on Amazon or Netflix, but Stick It comes to mind. A fictional story of a gymnast with an attitude who has to both learn to accept help and be true to herself.

Sorry to hear you are grieving too. I lost my dear dad very suddenly at Christmas and am finding it hard to concentrate on any films or tv so I will give these a go.

the proposal on disney
sorry to hear your grieving do you have anything like a series that you rematch over and over ? when I am feeling crap I watch murder she Wrote or big bang or sometimes similar.

Absolutely came to say this.

Being John Malkovich is entertainingly surreal

Mrs Harris goes to paris
the proposal

Wicked Little Letters on Netflix.

I think it's on Amazon, but Stephen Poliakoff"s Perfect Strangers about a family reunion might fit the bill?

100% Bank of Dave!

Some of the Motherland episodes

Glow Up series on Netflix (it’s a bbc one)

The Other Shore - excellent
