The other night we were watching Cool Runnings and my bride mentioned that she really enjoyed a "feel good" movie. She is an expert being the Queen of Hallmark movie channel. But she is right (always) - sometimes it is good to watch a film that may not be great art but gives you that uplift of spirit at the finish. Yes, they are usually corny - schmaltzy - you name it... but they still make you "feel good" when the end credits roll.
So I thought I'd ask - what are your favorite feel good movies. Not looking for a list but movies that you personally relate to and maybe even why. Guilty pleasures are a necessity here for many so let your hair down. This is a no judgement zone.
One of mine is 7 Faces of Dr. Lao "The whole world is a circus if you know how to look at it. Every time you watch a rainbow and feel wonder in your heart. Every time you pick up a handful of dust, and see not the dust, but a mystery, a marvel, there in your hand. Every time you stop and think, "I'm alive, and being alive is fantastic!" Every time such a thing happens, you're part of the Circus of Dr. Lao."
So let's have at it. Kleenexes optional. (should that be Kleenesees? Kleeni?)
