OK, I watched Local Hero
last night an I though a list of feel-good films was on order (it's been a week or two since the last 'list' thread).
Then there's Restless Natives
(another quite Scottish comedy from about the same time).
I also find that Ferris Beuller's Day Off
puts me in a good mood.
And Napoleon Dynamite, of course.
So what's your list?
-
Dr Herbie
Horses for courses

Massif
aim stupidly high, expect to fail often.
I always felt sorry for the Ferrari in Ferris Bueller.
I'd probably put When Harry Met Sally on the list, but then I'm a hopeless romantic. And maybe Bruce Almighty. -

I guess it depends what makes you feel good. I always enjoy watching Aliens

I have to say that Blood Diamond is the best movie I've seen in years, and it left me feeling good, in fact.

I quite like the newest James Bond film (I don't know the name), and the Fast and the Furious series (especially the first, and Tokyo Drift).

Dances With Wolves. Costner sucks, yes; but the native americans were done incredibly well made me very interested in their culture. And Graham Greene is one of my favorite actors....and is Canadian too
Edit:
Can't forget the Shawshank Redemption -

Irascible Ian
Little Miss Sunshine.

OMG, he said "feel-good" movies!
...e.g. no "Shindler's List" (though it's an excellent mooovie).

buuu
i would'nt call them "fell-good", i would call them "feel-bad" movies, not because they have a sad ending, not really, but because its sad to see the ending of something good, of something interesting

I wanted to add "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." But I can't remember whether it ends well or not.
Oh, and the Truman Show as well. -

Doom!
Doom makes me happy.
What? Its Doom! -

It finds lightbulbs.
Obviously, this is the ultimate feel-good movie of all time. Especially if you manage to catch a sing-along version in a theatre.

Ferris Bueller.
Ed Rooney: I don't trust this kid any further than I can throw him.
Grace: Well, with your bad knee Ed, you shouldn't throw anybody... Its true.

Was going to post the text, but the editor on this site isn't the best. Kept destroying my <br> tags.
