The movie Money Pit is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Oh and, My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a great romantic comedy too!

I don't know if this belongs on "Movies that Make You Feel Good", or "Guilty Pleasures".

Today I watched a dumb, one joke movie which I have seen a number of times in the past. It is called "The Out of Towners", a 1970 flick starring Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis.

I was in a crappy mood, and this movie got me right out of the "blahs".

@Phoenix32890,
I enjoyed The Out of Towners when it was new. I would probably still laugh if I watched it again.

"Goin South" would also be a prime candidate.

i'm intrigued by some of the choices, i don't consider them feel good movies (Stardust for one example), they are films that might make you feel good or give you enjoyment

i think of feel good movies as, now were going to hit you over the head with a story that is gonna at first depress you and then uplift you, the cinematic equivalent of Up With People, crap like, Rudy, The Blind Side Marley and Me

I suppose a movie I found not only uplifting but also hilarious would be..

GROUNDHOG DAY.

Brilliant movie. With one of my favourite lines. "It's all right you can fall asleep, I promise I wont touch you, much"

Just watched "The Princess Diaries" Disney has a knack of hitting the spot Smile

The movie did not have to dip deep into despair to provoke a good feeling for the resolution in the end. Julie Andrews was terrific!

I felt uplifted at the end of Rocky and My Fair Lady, to name two. I don't have time to further think about it just now.

My Fair Lady is a fine gem of a movie. Rocky is all inspiring too Smile

Rex Harrison was a main reason why I changed my name from Eric to Rex (that and blinding light from heaven)

@RexRed,
Make that 3 months' I forgot you do the month first.
We do the day first although it never mattered to me as I am 05- 05-.
Works both ways.
