‘Feel Good’ Films: Please Help!?

Last Christmas- even hubby enjoyed.

We’ve just watched “Finding your feet” with Timothy Spall, Imelda Staunton, Celia Imrie, Joanna Lumley etc, there is death but it is uplifting

One chance. Lovely film about Paul Potts. If only for the gorgeous scenery of Venice.

Seabreeze

Hi daisy. Just watched the trailer for the last bus on tube but it says the film is currently unavailable. Where did you watch it or buy it from.

We found It on Sky Cinema, we currently have it on a special offer

Roman Holiday - Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.

Brassed off. think it was called, about Yorkshire Brass band.

The Holiday
Boy called Christmas
Some Like it Hot

Another vote here for:
-Falling For Figaro
-Blinded By The Light (Racist? )
-Wonder
-What We Did On Our Holidays
-The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society

And I also thoroughly enjoyed:
-Nanny McPhee and Nanny McPhee Returns (Yes, both children's films technically, but so very watchable - Emma Thompson at her best!)
-Starfish - sad, but uplifting at the same time. A true story.
-Lion - probably up there with my favourite films of all time. Based on a true story
-Me Before You
-Last Christmas
-Breathe - another uplifting, triumph-over-adversity story. A true story.

And Hunt for the Wilderpeople if you like black comedies and don’t mind a bit of swearing.

I saw an Australian film called Three Summers on tv last year and loved it, albeit being a rom com of sorts. Written by Ben Elton. And UP, once you get past the sad, but beautiful beginning, is wonderful.

Got to be gorgeous, funny Christmas Chronicles 1&2 - you can oggle at Kurt Russell as FC ?? too!!
As good as it gets isn’t seasonal but is wonderful. As are all 8 Harry Potter films.
Now Voyager with Bette Davis is fab but my personal favourites of all time are Gone with the Wind and the old b/w Random Harvest - it’s far fetched but fab-u-lous xx

Miracle on 34th Street. Definitely NOT the attenborough version, please watch the original ,and in black and white. A very young Natalie Wood player the little girl. Magic !

"It's a Wonderful Life" "The Wizard of OZ", "Christmas Carol" with Alistair Sims, and "The King and I". Not that vile "Love Actually". It's utter crap.

Mr Holland’s Opus is great. It was my late DH’s favourite, and we played music from it at his funeral last December.

I would recommend "Stardust" with Michelle Pfeiffer.

I adore Love Actually. It is a feel good film. Unquestioningly cheerful and gorgeous is Nativity and Nativity 2

I have just watched The Bishop's Wife. Definitely a feel good film

Yes musicgirl the Christopher Robin one is lovely. I recommend it to everyone!

'Singin in the rain' I saw it when it first came out. When I left the cinema I felt like I was walking on air. The musical sound track is great, beautiful songs and fantastic dance routines.

“Sunshine over Leith” ….. it is one of the happiest feel good films even ‘tho I hate musical films. I smile just thinking about it. ?

Anything with Cary Grant but particularly Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story or the fabulous Arsenic And Old Lace.

And I know that it's meant for kids but we love The Muppets' Christmas Carol.

i like good films but for me it is always a murder or thriller - north by north west.

Last Christmas, Elf, Home Alone, Polar Express, Coco, Scrooged( love it), The Holiday,

Another vote for:Yesterday,
Florence Foster Jenkins
Paddington.
I'm a total sucker for Notting Hill and Love Actually and, yes, I know they are not "real life".
Also I love Fiddler on the Roof and have seen it many times both on stage and on film. I find the music uplifting and joyful it what is ultimately a sad tale. A wonderful film.

Scrooged with Bill Murray, great feel good festive favourite.
