The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society.

Seen it three times I think.

Yes i liked this too and The Dig (which seemed to have the same actors/actresses in)

Christmas vacation is a bit dated now but it still makes me laugh

Has you seen Eurovision?

I has not. Am it on Netflix?

The railway children.
Weepiest scene ever ?

If you have Netflix though.

Have just watched Falling for Figaro, about two aspiring singers. Feel good, lighthearted . Joanna Lumley stars. Really recommend.

Well, I’ve just spent a lazy couple of hours watching ‘Great Expectations’ the 1940’s version with John Mills and Alec Guinness.

Should have been doing something more useful, but hey ho, made some sausage rolls this morning so thought I deserved a bit of ‘me’ time.

It had a happy ending, so think it qualifies as ‘feel good’.

There's Harry and Tonto mid 70s film which is really charming. An older man faces eviction from his apartment and sets off across the US to track down his children. He takes his beloved cat with him and meets and helps various people along the way with a poignant ending.
It also stars a young Larry Hagman.

Miracle on 34th Street ?

has you

I liked Blinded by the light but my friend said it was racist

Florence Foster Jenkins is very good.

Elf?

Oh yes Saving Mr Banks was great.

Get comfortably settled, with a glass of something relaxing, a plate of delicious nibbles and watch.....
The Hundred Foot Journey, with Helen Mirren and Om Puri.
It's an absolute joy!

Saving Mr Banks - though it had me weeping. Great film though

Oh yes!

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society.

Lovely film Iam64 - watched it twice. I think Mr C might like it too. ?

Saving Mr Banks - though it had me weeping. Great film though

About Time - young men in a family can travel back in time to undo, or do over situations. Stars Domnhall Gleeson and Bill Nighy as his father. Weepy at the end, but the whole thing is charming and definitely feelgood

If you can find The Riff Raff Element it is absolutely brilliant. Poor family come to live on the estate of a aristocratic but impoverished family. It's a comedy but with huge depth and great characters. It's from 1993 and I don't know why they haven't brought it back. 12 episodes.

I bought it on DVD recently because I longed to see it again.

Galaxy Quest. On this Christmas.

I've watched it so often I know every lìne but every time I watch the final scene my heart melts at the cast of the spaceship saluting the young fan in the audience who has saved the day.
I was a teenage Trekkie, and would have given my all back in the 70s for similar recognition from Capt. Kirk and Mr. Spock.

Family movie, The Santa Clause is a good one.
Bringing up Baby and My Favourite Wife are both on BBC iplayer if you like a good Cary Grant comedy.
Mary Poppins Returns (don't dismiss it as a children's film.)

And you can't go wrong with The Sound of Music.

Also:
Planes, trains and automobiles...John Candy, Steve Martin.
Mouse hunt.
Horrible Bosses.
National Lampoon vacation...the sequel. The son is grown up, and takes his family to Wallyworld. We thought it funnier than the original. ???

The Office Christmas Party...with Jennifer Anniston and Jason Bateman. Adult humour, but side splittingingly funny.
