Can someone recommend a really 'feel good' film please - it has been a tough week!

Kellys Heroes

The Italian Job

Fight Club

Shaun of the Dead

Maybe not the selection that would automatically fit into the "feel good" stereotype, however work for me smile Fight Club in particular might seem an odd choice, however it gives hope to those trapped in white collar mediocrity, that there might be something else out there to do.

Very odd "feel good movies" personally I'd go for something like "the princess bride" or "restless natives" or for something a bit more modern "stardust" I guess that makes me a bit of a wuss but there you go.

I'd concur with 3 of those, the exception being FC, but that maybe because i just never got into it...

Kellys Heroes is an ace film!

In the same vein as Shaun i've also felt good after watching Hot Fuzz.

And Shaun of the dead as someone else said. Not a feel good but watched it the other day and i'm still laughing to myself.

I saw Little Miss Sunshine recently - brilliant film and very uplifting.

Or for a more oddball suggestion, how about Eagle vs. Shark? A New Zealand film which is quite funny but generally just a pleasant film to watch.
