You're favourite feelgood movies?

[The Groke]

Also reminded of Ghostbusters, Trading Places and Groundhog Day.

All good movies.


Trading Places in particular, is one of those movies that, when considering the sum of it's parts, really should be utter shit. How it manages to be really quite good is beyond me......

[electrogirl]

Clueless
Roman Holiday
Amelie

 

[Final]

Fla...aaaaasshh!

 

[CyberRose]

I'm gonna add another vote for Stand By Me and Amelie

 

[N_igma]

The Breakfast Club.

Everytime I watch that show I just leave with pure satisfaction.

 

[London_Calling]

At the mo it would prob be Walk The Line

A Fish Called Wanda, maybe.

 

[Flashman]

The Grifters?? "Mother on run from gangsters kills son".

Lovely stuff.

Uncle Buck
Field of Dreams

 

[Reno]

The Grifters?? ...................
Lovely stuff.

Maybe you want to put a spoiler warning on there as you just gave away the end. Great film though.

 

[story]

Spinal tap? Nah - too true...

Poltergeist for me.

 

[Flashman]

It's seventeen years old, and is on the Beeb every year at 11:25 once a year without fail.

 

[Chairman Meow]

But I've never seen it.

..and it's been on the telly the other day so there is a good chance that there are people who've recorded it and haven't watched it yet. There is a way to talk about films without ruining it for those who haven't seen them.

 

[ivebeenhigh]

Back to the Future.

Vader is Luke's father you know.

 

[Reno]

Vader is Luke's father you know.

Whatever

 

[Grandma Death]

Breakfast Club
Stand By Me
Punch Drunk Love
When Harry Met Sally

 

[Leica]

Some Like It Hot
Indiana Jones
Peggy Sue Got Married
High Heels
She-Devil
Ed Wood
Mars Attacks!
Kill Bill 1 & 2

 

[8ball]

I just watched Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Considering the mauling it got at release I thought it was quite cheery harmless fun and definitely one to add to the 'feelgood' list.

 

[Cid]

Stand by me is the shit, doesn't exactly make me feel good though - more nostalgic...

Another vote for Howl's moving castle and spirited away...

Zatoichi - great ending...

 

[red rose]

Back to the Future
Amelie
The Wedding Singer
The BFG
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Breakfast Club
Kiki's Deliver Service
8 Femmes

 

[intrikat]

And Zoolander.

Damn,got to it before me
What about Wizard of Oz? Kinda like Sound of Music and Singing in the rain - I am sucked in completely when they on on telly...
Could watch Groundhog day on a loop - which is strange as thats what youre watching...
Any Almodovar film too would do

 

[Chz]

Definitely The Princess Bride.
Other great suggestions are:
Labyrinth
Amelie
Spirited Away (surprised I don't see more of that one)
Ferris Bueller
Army of Darkness (Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart!)

There were a couple of very good movies mentioned that just aren't "feelgood" to me:
Ed Wood
The Iron Giant
Brilliant, both of them. Not terribly cheerful though.

I'll add:
North By Northwest (purely because it's So Damned Good)
Pulp Fiction (always makes me laugh out loud)
Shaun of the Dead (haven't got sick of it yet)

 

[absinthe pirate]

I'd say

Back to the Future
Amelie

for sure, and i'd also add

Little Miss Sunshine
Strictly Ballroom
Dirty Dancing

cause i am a girl!

 

[DUMBO.66]

eight legged freaks

 

[quiet_rob]

Wayne's World & The Wedding Singer never fail to cheer me up.
