For instance - she loves Six Days Seven Nights. It ends happy, has beautiful scenery and is "slightly" funny.

She calls it a Comfort movie (for when she has the flu).

Any others?

LA Story is another one.

The Ultimate Feel Good Movies for me are:

Jerry Maguire

Keeping the Faith

French Kiss

When Harry Met Sally

City Slickers

My Best Friends Wedding

Pretty Woman

Almost Famous

Homeymoon in Vegas

It Could Happen to You

I am sure I have a few more - if I could only remember them.

Princess Bride

2 of the best at this mood, a good warm-hearted spirit throughout the film.

What, no Amelie yet? Well, I'll say Amelie then. :)
p.s., oh, I guess you'll have to wait to watch it on dvd. Oh well, nevermind. :)

Rod - just so it doesn't get lost in the list of movies here - allow me to repeat it - SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION!

Then there's:

Field of Dreams

Rocky

October Sky

Iron Giant

AMELIE and HAPPY ACCIDENTS, when they come to DVD.

Until then, I would recommend YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. A great looking DVD, and I laugh everytime I watch it. I live in Manhattan and it helped me get through 9-11. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Shawshank Redemption? Well - it's a really nice ending and a pretty good movie but I'm not sure the rape scenes or the getting your face bashed in scenes are really "happy happy joy joy scenes". LoL

There were some pretty good suggestions although I have to wonder about a few of you guys.

French Kiss is a good one that we have - a star goes to Zak.

Is Amelie on DVD yet?

Lou Lou Lou - October Sky is nice but then you have Rocky and SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION - have you ever gone on a date? LOL :)

just kidding guys - thanks!

Dead Alive - a sweet love story between a shy man and a headstrong, but fiercely romantic, woman in 1950s New Zealand. The shy man must overcome many obstacles, including his domineering mother and hundreds of flesh-eating zombies, who simply don't know when it's time to leave the party, before he and his true love live happily ever after.
:D
Oh yeah, you might also check out Ladyhawke.
