The ending is more feelgood than the suicide attempt in the middle I’ll give you that

The feel of the film as a whole is touching and comedic, with elements of sadness and drama. The overall emotion for me is uplifting and life affirming which equals feel good for me. If you don't agree - that's fine.

I watched Lion about a week ago. It had me in tears (I'm a soft shite these days), the GF liked it too. Very good film.

50 first dates is good too.

tell me about it, since having kids I’m utterly rubbish...Paddington 2 had me in bits lol.

Lion is an amazing story but unreal to think what people go through and the way they live. Suppose out of site out of mind.

I watched this earlier, good movie but not really a feel-good movie, I thought the bit in the life raft where the Germans were shooting at it was more akin to being on the London underground right now

Was very controversial during the war as it showed Richard Attenborough in an act of cowardice, censors wanted that scene cut. Noel Coward and John Mills were great.
 
The Holiday.

We get Cameron Diaz and ship Kate f***ing Winslet off to America.

Last night I watched Brief Encounter, made in 1945 b&w, what a brilliant movie, proper storyline, great acting.
Oh and if you have seen the movie you will know, if not then it's worth watching, plus it's free on youtube
Anyone know of anything else worth watching.

I'm sure I have a bunch but off the top of my head, Stardust is a quality feel good film

Brilliant movie, I can watch it over and over again, some of it was filmed up near Gairloch in the highlands, the cast stayed at one of my favourite Hotels The Shieldaig Lodge, Robert De Niro and Sienna Miller, Michelle Pfeiffer, the cast list goes on forever.
I'll watch it again later
 
What We Did On Our Holiday
Starring Billy Connolly, David Tennant, Ben Miller, Rosamund Pike and Emelia Jones
filmed around Gairloch and at Red Point my favourite Beach.
 
The Peanut Butter Falcon - Lad with downs syndrome escapes from a nursing home and goes on the run. It's got it's cliches and it's quite predictable but it doesn't take away from it at all. Really nice viewing, especially on a Sunday. Available on Netflix.
 
Any of the Ealing comedies but two of my favourites are Passport to Pimlico and Kind Hearts and Coronets.

Both are absolute classics that provide a glimpse of a long gone Britain (if you like that sort of thing). All done with great acting and humour, the epitome of a feel-good movie.
