You're favourite feelgood movies?

[tastebud]

Labyrinth is also one of my favourite films *ever*.
I *have* to see the Princess Bride at some point before I'm too much older - I love the book!

Nevertheless, the Edukators is the one I keep coming back to, and that makes me feel gd about the world.

Goodbye Lenin.

I love that movie, every moment of it is fantastic.

 

[Fez909]

Amelie.

 

[8ball]

Amelie.

I was just about to say that!

So I'll reiterate Ghostbusters and add Sleeper to the list.

And Mystery Men.

And Zoolander.

 

[Chairman Meow]

I forgot about Amelie - love it.

But, for the love of all that is good and right in this godforsaken planet, will you PLEASE take that FUCKING mis-spelling out of the title? WHAT is the apostrophe for? Sorry, but it is making my eyes bleed.

[Fez909]

Night on Earth

I don't know if I'd class Night on Earth as a 'feelgood movie' but I definitely liked it. The Italian bit was my favourite. In isolation, that could be a feelgood bit. But the Polish(?) one was sad.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

most of my anime collection

it's like being trampled to death by cuteness

 

[TheDave]

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The original of course, it's reminds me of simpler times and Gene Wilder is simply fantastic as Willy Wonka. And who could forget the Oompa-Loompas.

 

[Julie]

Jim Carrey flicks always make me laugh out loud.

Oh, and Major Payne

 

[Bomber]

The World's Fastest Indian

 

[Melinda]

Jim Carrey flicks always make me laugh out loud.

Oh, and Major Payne

[diond]

No I'm not.

 

[DotCommunist]

Shawshank Redemption

*hides*

 

[beeboo]

Gah! How did I forget about Amelie!

Also reminded of Ghostbusters, Trading Places and Groundhog Day.

Talking of trading places - my fella works in the City and had to go on a course to learn about commodity trading. When asked to give an example of a commodity, about three people immediately said 'pork belly'

 

[Fez909]

The Life Aquatic.

 

[ice-is-forming]

Saving Grace...gets me every time
