‘Feel Good’ Films: Please Help!?

Goodness me, who suggested The Last Bus on this thread I cried nearly all the way through it! (it is a good film though)

BTW sorry if it’s already mentioned upthread - I have not read all 7 pages of it.

Ah, there you are Fanny , how is your DH? I hope you are well too?
If “Gregory’s Girl” is your favourite - would MrC enjoy “Sunshine On Leith” with the Proclaimer’s songs? Made more recently but still a delightful Scottish film with a worthwhile story.

Not a film, but we’re really enjoying Clarkson’s Farm.
And my father is obsessed with Gone Fishing with Bob and Paul.
(I think that he may have a crush on Paul Whitehouse)
Both definitely feel good fare.

The Green Line.
Why I hadn’t heard more about this film before I saw it I don’t know!
Ladybird.

You'll love it Fanny. Set in Australia after the war so mostly 1950's but the first episode is on board a ship. About a rich family, the house is to die for, the clothes and cars too! It is a treat for your senses. Ha ha.

Series 1 & 2 are free with Amazon Prime Video.
It’s got brilliant reviews. Thanks Chesnut. DH likes stuff like that, he’s actually got quite ‘feminine ‘ tastes in TV, eg he loves Catherine Cookson.

Chestnut I haven’t heard of A Place to Call Home
I love it when people are so enthusiastic! I will have a look for it now…

Caleo I absolutely adore An Inspector Calls. I watch it / listen to it at every opportunity (never read it though )
I’ve noticed The Bishop’s Wife popping up in my Sky recommendations
Thanks again all. This list is brilliant
I hope that others are getting some good ideas too

'The Holiday' has been recommended by several GNetters. I notice that will be on ITV at 11pm om Thursday 23rd, and also on ITV2 at 8pm on Friday 24th.

If your husband needs serious spiritual hope, I recommend "An Inspector Calls."

If on the other hand he needs cheery entertaining I recommend "The Bishop's Wife".

Where did you see this? Have tried Iplayer and Netflix, but no luck.

Carousel is on BBC 2 at the moment. I saw the updated version in Regents Park open air theatre in August. It was excellent.

Agree, if you can get A Place to Call Home it is the best series EVER!! You can't beat it. Wonderful storylines, great characters, beautiful sets and costumes, it is perfection and worth every penny.
You can get Series 1-6 on DVD on Amazon.
It's on Amazon Prime for £6.49 per series.
It's also on You Tube for £13.99 per series (expensive)

Today at 3.50 BBC2 South Pacific ((1958) I loved this when I was younger, some wonderful songs and I can’t wait to see if it still makes me cry

Hidden Treasure if it is on.

Loved Virgin River on Netflix, also a Place to Call Home. Hitch is one of my all time fave feel good films.

Some Like it Hot does it every time!

Thanks again - there’s a lovely mixture here

poshpaws Gregory’s Girl is one of my all time greats.
It captures 1980s secondary school perfectly. I was a bit younger than the actors it.
The bit where Gregory is running in front of his Dad’s car always made my mom laugh as he reminded her of me (no common sense and ridiculous).
I can’t remember who suggested Singin’ in the Rain; that’s another of my top five. Donald O’Connor is a genius

Pride is a good film and fisherman's friend is excellent

The Full Monty was on television recently, couldn't resist watching it again.

The Holiday
Fishermans Friends
Paddington has to be seen too.

Gregory's Girl is a 1981 Scottish coming-of-age romantic comedy film written and directed by Bill Forsyth. It's really funny and when I saw it when it first was released, I left the cinema thinking how good it made me feel. A real breath of fresh air.

You can get it free if you've got Amazon Prime Video, or buy it here: amazon.co.uk/Gregorys-Girl-John-Gordon-Sinclair/dp/B00004S8J6/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Gregory%27s+Girl&qid=1639952911&sr=8-3]]

we watched "finding your feet" - very sad bits but ultimately an uplifting film,
