Name a feel-good movie to pass the time :)

I am so happy to see other people nominated The Hundred Foot Journey. I saw it in the theater and was happy to discover it on Netflix a couple of weeks ago. I also love That Thing You Do, New In Town, You've Got Mail, and The Princess Bride

You are a monster if you came out of that movie feeling good

Agree!!! That movie had me sobbing . I will NEVER watch it again. Same with A Dogs Purpose

The Shawshank Redemption.

Sure, it has its dark moments, but what a satisfying payout for an ending!

Arlington Road

...I will NEVER watch it again. Same with A Dogs Purpose

I managed to avoid that one, and the commercials for the new one (A Dog'd Journey, I think it's called?) have me changing the channel frequently!

American Graffiti. Great soundtrack and a movie anyone that grew up in the 50's and 60's could identify with.

What caught me is that I went thinking it was a rom com!

A Shirley Temple movie marathon - The little Princess, Heidi, etc.

Captain January!

Here are a few I haven't seen posted:

Eddie the Eagle

The World's Fastest Indian

Both are inspiring movies to remind you to never give up on your dreams.

I also liked Captain Courageous but its older and hard to find. Also while it has a great message and ending it is a bit sad.

• Shop Around The Corner (Jimmy Stewart)
• You've Got Mail (remake of above, with Tom Hanks playing the Jimmy Stewart role)
• On The Town (Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra)
  
• Singing In The Rain (Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds)
• Goodfellas (just kidding, wrong list)

Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell

My good luck this thread popped back up today, because a feel good movie is going to be just what the doctor ordered tonight.

I don't think anyone mentioned The Best Man or The Best Man Holiday. I got sucked into both of those the same way you keep munching away after you reach for that first potato chip.

Last night I watched the remake of Overboard, Hot Tub Time Machine and Sisterhood of the travelling pants.... I was happy with all of them. I am counting down the days until my hubby is home from deployment so that is why I am binge watching tv!
