More recently Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It’s weirdly comforting, extremely enjoyable, beautifully shot and the ending is somehow both extremely violent and wholesome. How it handles Sharon Tate is honestly kind of touching. For me Tarantino’s best
Couldn't agree more.
It's a very comforting movie especially the scene where cliff booth drops Rick at his mansion, drive back to his trailer park home and just makes food for himself and his dog.
The Princess Bride. Period
while most people never heard of harold and maude,its a terrific film and a really awesome soundtrack.dont miss it.
For me it would be the Grand Budapest Hotel. Whenever I am feeling down or melancholic, I put it on, and it never fails to lift my mood.
The Lord of the Rings. Whenever I need to decompress I spend a weekend watching the extended editions and I always come out the other end feeling relaxed and renewed somehow.
Gummo makes me nostalgic for the carefree days of youth when we would ride around the neighborhood on our bikes.
Harmony Korine is one of my favourite directors
Honestly I think Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is incredibly comforting, which is strange because I actually think a lot of that comes down to the bland direction from Chris Columbus.
Lol that’s an interesting point. The scenes definitely feel lazy and sort of episodic, but I think it’s what gives the movie charm. Prisoner of Azkaban on the other hand I think is the complete opposite, it’s a way better movie but doesn’t feel as nostalgic
'Bend it like Beckham' of course!!
Hellz yeah
Dazed and Confused / Everybody wants some. Both are just great representation of my high-school/college experiences. Richard Linklater seems to really understand the simplicity and angst of these misunderstood, repressed and impressionable young adults and his films are a love letter to that period of life. Some of the greatest hangout movies of all time, I love them both 😊.
The Goonies is a movie that always lifts me. Great heroes, great villains and beautiful sets.
Chaplin’s “City Lights” is one of the most charming, most magical movies I’ve ever seen - had a big grin plastered across my face for a while. “What We Do in the Shadows” always cracks me up, too
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off", and a lot of John Hughes-scripted works for that matter .... it's a coin with two sides. In the 80s Hughes captured a teenage spirit and communicated layers to the experience that hadn't been seen before in the teen comedy genre. However, he also had blind spots. One of them I find glaring is the handling of Ferris's sister Jeanie, whose behavioral patterns come across as weird and disjointed. What is she trying to accomplish? The film tries to provide an answer but it feels incomplete. Jealousy within a family can be a powerful dramatic tool, but the characters have to first feel human which (frustratingly) Hughes's writing was otherwise pretty good at.
“Ferris Bueller” is one of the best
Have you ever had a sister? Does there need to be a reason behind their desire to want to mess with their teenage brother life?
@@ihatekillerclowns I do have a younger sister... meh... she doesn’t care if I’m happy or not, but she’s not nearly as vehement as Jeanne was! 😆
Dazed and Confused. Whenever I'm feeling down that's what i watch. It also makes me sad because i wish i lived during that time, watching people just chill back, get stoned and listen to great music.
Before sunrise for me, it just feels so warm
Singing in the Rain, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Mrs Henderson Presents, Some Like it Hot. The movies that are supposed to be "feelgood" but are so bad that you feel like throwing things at the wall (Sex in the City II) are the most depressing things in cinema.
Adventureland, A Fish Called Wanda, When Harry Met Sally, A Knights Tale, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Groundhog Day, and Spaceballs.
E.T. - although I haven't seen it in ages. I just remember feeling great after watching it the first time.
Moneyball - just a great uplifting movie and not just for baseball fans. And it's currently available on Netflix.
Metropolis, the 2001 anime. I'm not sure why this movie isn't discussed more often. I love the contrasts with the cartoonish characters, the intricately detailed backdrops and the Dixieland jazz.
I have a real soft spot for 50 First Dates. My serious answer would probably be Singing in the Rain and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Rocky, Field of Dreams and Hoosiers. The Trifecta of ‘feel good’ movies.
Amelie. The main character played by Audrey Tautou is just so full of life throughout the film. Always smiling, always been so helpful, enjoys the small pleasures of life and is so wholesome throughout the movie. The amazing score is definitely the cherry on top. 😊
It's overrated imo.
My Name is Nobody, because Terence Hill’s happy go lucky performance, and the juxtaposition of him and Henry Fonda’s character.
And basically the full filmography of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. They are underrated and overlooked.
@@akosleoszilagyi2529 Yes!
@@DeanH92 My biggest favorite from them is Pari e Dispari (Odds and Evens). Tbh, the Hungarian dub really elevates the experience.
La La Land. I know it has a sorrowful undertone but the presentation is so spectacular and magical to the point where all other emotions are blocked out for euphoria.
1. It Happened One Night
2. Duck Soup
3. Singin’ in the Rain
4. Lady and the Tramp
5. Ninotchka
6. Top Hat
7. 10 Things I Hate About You
8. How to Train Your Dragon
9. Phantom Thread
10. The Last Temptation of Christ
*Star Wars.* 1977 was a magical year for me as a boy.
Cyd Charisse in the movie-within-a-movie of Singing in the Rain!
It’s Such a Beautiful Day, The 400 Blows, WALL•E, Punch-Drunk Love, and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory just to name a few
Yes , Willy wonka .
Please review Ferris Bueller’s Day Off! I’ve always wavered between utterly despising the main character and actually enjoying the shenanigans that ensues I’d love to hear your insight.
The Goodbye Girl (1977). Right balance of drama and humor. Excellent script and acting. Perfect final scene. Genuinely heartfelt. This was also Powers Boothe's debut movie. He's in the theatre scenes.
I Married a Witch, Bringing up Baby, The Awful Truth, The Princess Bride, Goodfellas, Beetlejuice, The Fellowship of the Rings
thank you dudette, this came right in time.
Also Lost In Translation comforts me
Punch Drunk Love for me.
For me it would be Happy Go Lucky, Sightseers, Bedazzled (2000), Calamity Jane, Anastasia
Forrest Gump (the book & the movie). It makes you realise that life is LIKE a box of chocolates...
@Move_I_Got_This It's been mine ever since I was 11 !
Most of my comfort movies are hangout movies. Dazed and Confused, Boogie Nights, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Licorice Pizza, and The Big Lebowski are a few. Also any studio ghibli.
Radio days and Bullets over Broadway by Woody Allen or comedy movies with Jack Lemmon
I don't really like Woody Allen, but I love Jack Lemmon! The Odd Couple, My Fellow Americans and Grumpy Old Men 1-2 are funny as hell!
For me would be Chris Columbus "Adventures in Babysitting". "My name is Cris and i'm a babysitter...da nah nah nah". Plus I love hearing the diegetic music in the picture.
Once again admire your work
Billy Wilder is my favorit writer in Hollywood and one of best directors of all time, Ninotchka, Midnight, Hold back dawn, Ball of fire, The lost weekend, A foreign affair, Ace in the hole, Stalag 17,Sabrina,Witness for the prosecution, Irma la douce, and for best Double indemnity, The Apartment, Sunset bulevard and Some like it hot, this last 4 are masteripice
Wow I completely forgot Wilder wrote Ninotchka
Where is One Two Three? It's one of the best comedies ever made!
@@akosleoszilagyi2529 yes
You know what would make ME feel good??? If you reviewed The Swimmer 1968 (Burt Lancaster)😆
Feels like a feature-length episode of The Twilight Zone. And a good one at that.
Seconds is another film along those lines she should review.
@@gregorytyson995 I'm dying to know what she would say about it!...so I keep trolling for her to review it😅😅😅
It’s A Wonderful Life, by the time the credits start I can’t help but smile.
Hi Maggie, great vid I love feel good movie
I'm astonished no one suggested Irreversible as a feel good movie.
Point Break!!!
The Apartment is awesome and I also luv Singin in The rain but need to watch again soon
mean girls? thats a classic right there
Have you seen Midnight Cowboy?
Whisper of the Heart
I'm still waiting for deepfocuslens' perfect movie to come out to show everyone else what perfection looks like.
Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp movies for sure!
Totally agree with your character analysis on ferris,my only issue is that he doesn't change or learn any lesson in the film and never grows and got away with everything
I usually watch Dramas, Sci-Fi and Horror - so I don't watch a lot of feel good movies. But, A Fish Called Wanda always gives me a chance to laugh and smile. Also, Indiana Jones The Last Crusade has so many great moments EG. Dad how did you know she was a spy - she talks in her sleep. and Sean has that great little smirk on his face !!!
Both of those warm my heart also. :)
Blazing Saddles. Although it also reminds me that we can't make movies like those any more; which is very sad.
I don't really have feel good movies that I will throw on to brighten my mood, I usually turn to music for that. However, I throw on the anime movie Redline pretty frequently because of its high energy and general awesomeness
Bruhhhhh, Redline is like getting pumped with an IV of pure adrenaline, love that movie. The animation quality is incredible, too - some of the best I’ve ever seen, right up there with Akira
Monty Python & the Holy Grail and The Incredibles are mine
We are the knights who say: NI!
The grand budapest hotel, Taxi driver, and Dazed and Confused
Come and See is pretty relaxing.
:D :D :D
Beetlejuice comes to mind.
Never seen it! :O
@@deepfocuslens No way. It's a MUST SEE.
@@deepfocuslens I'm genuinely shocked that you haven't seen it. Watch it ASAP
@@deepfocuslens oh my. That’s surprising lol. I think you’d find Winona Ryder’s character really interesting
Spot on about 'Moses Supposes' among other numbers from 'Singin in the Rain'
Little Miss Sunshine!!!
Can’t tell if , doing comedy.. or, feel good 🎥 movies.. feel good movie would be like “Simon Birch “ ... love , raiders, and Goonies
Last , two probably my favorite movies of all time.. I’m a child that way
Emperors new groove
Breaking Away is a great fell good movie. Not sure why I never hear anyone talk about it.
Because who wants to see a movie about poor white boys? 🙄 lol just kidding... yeah “Breaking Away” is a bit of a sleeper
@5:10: When both of you mentioned "The Apartment" and called it a "feel good" movie, I was pretty shocked as I thought you were talking about the 1996 French film " L' Appartement" starring the *French answer to Brangelina : Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel!*
Anybody who loves French movies typically feels saddened when seeing them together, as they were once the perfect French couple!
Charlies Angels (2000) for me
My favorite feel good movie is Arrival because you know what happens after the ending of the movie is tragic but it manages to lift you up anyway
I don't think I really even know what a "feel good" movie is. When I need to feel good I tend to put on music or films that tend to ramp up my negative emotions until they simply play themselves out. Having said that, Field of Dreams tends to relieve the unresolved tension between myself and my late father. The only thing we really had in common was a love of baseball, and FOD never fails to reduce me to cathartic tears.
Love The Apartment, btw. Possibly my favorite "comedy" film ever, but that's more due to its sheer excellence as one of the greatest films I've ever seen. Billy Wilder and Jack Lemmon. A cinematic match made in heaven.
"Pretty Women" (add)'82 "An Officer & A Gentleman"...Ebert 4/4star to Top Gun '86's 2.5/4star
Night and Fog, Manchester by the Sea, Requiem For a Dream.
If I'm feeling depressed all I need to do is watch one of those to realize everything is fine in my life.
St Elmo’s Fire 🔥
I really like your videos but the audio is so harsh, please consider upgrading something here
Hobson's Choice. Charles Laughton is great, I love every bit of it
I'm in love.
I had an irrational hatred of musicals when I was a kid. "Why is everyone singing??? That doesn't happen in real life!"
The original Evil Dead trilogy would probably be my go-to’s!
Groovy
📼its a wonderful life movie is a classic holiday movie as well as a Christmas Carol 1951
Mystery Men for me. And who can go wrong with a great Tom Waits Cameo. Yes...the third act kind of falls apart, but it's still and witty and fun movie.
I actually felt really, really down by the end of My Fair Lady when I watched as a kid. Not even sure why, I was just saddened by all the characters taking so long to not be bitter or conniving I guess. The foremost feel-good movie in my head is Secondhand Lions. Love that one.
Different shutterspeed?
I love Rex Harrison--he was such a smart-ass!
AAY THERE DFL -- COULD YOU REVIEW PETER FONDA'S DIY SCI FI MOVIE IDAHO TRANSFER ?
I THINK YOU WOULD REALLY DIG IT AND I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR TAKE.
Vegas Vacation and Parent trap
Somewhere in Time and Being There
How about favorite television movies. The good ones people choose is probably Brian's song, flowers in the attic. Mine is probably saved by the bell wedding in Las Vegas, I grew up watching the show and it's good to see it concluded, but I saw it the other day and it was horrible, but it's my favorite.
Singing in the Rain
Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Easy A
Back to the Future
Il Mostro
Blazing Saddles
“So what do you think of Castro?”
“What is Castro?”
A Hard Day's Night
big ditto.
Music & Lyrics
The sandlot , waterworld , plains trains and automobiles, the wizard of oz . For me a feel good movie seems to be more about nostalgia then the movie actually being "feel good".
Ain’t them bodies saints!
One cut of the dead!!! Is it a formal masterpiece? Hell no! Were talented people involved? No! But damn, someone had a very good idea that allowed them to make a very nice and original movie with the few means and talent they had! It worked like a charm on me! It made me feel so much sympathie towards them all! It made me laugh like a kid and even love humanity for Christ's sake!!!
To me there are only two issues :
- The first one is not even really one : you just got to be aware the first part is deliberately awful (so you won't stop right away and instead have fun seeking all the weird elements and try to figure out why they are in there)
- That extra shot on the father/daughter pic at the end was unnecessary and I took it as kind of an insult...
No other issues to add! It's quite flawless! Watch it, try to figure out, have a good laugh and smile until the next day!
Oh and of course Forrest Gump! It has been more than ten years since my last viewing but I'm planning on watching it again very soon. I bet it will have the same effect it had on 20yo me : I'm gonna spend half an hour crying until I have left a huge puddle of tears on the floor! But it's all good! I'll feel like everything is possible and will probably do something I should have done before. I'll be pure, I'll be love itself, I'll be a child again.
Do you all associate a "Feel-Good" movie as comfort food you return to? If so, I don't have a favourite. Even if I love a movie I find it really tough to watch the same thing twice. Maybe 10 or 20 years later once the details are hazy...
The new Charlie and the Choclate Factory... Mainly for nostalgia purposes
Speaking of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", kindly review all of the "Indiana Jones" movies at some point, whenever you're feeling it.
Alright, alright, alright
@1:39: Indeed, Maggie, you should *just keep saying that Rex Harrison is your "rapper of choice".*
Foul Phil - Suit: My tummy hurts!
Greaser Greg - Suit: What did you eat?

Valerie Vomit: You wanna suck face?
Captain Manzini: Did you get the blood of a toad and the eye of a newt?
Dodger: Nope. The pet shop's out of unicorns, too.
Captain Manzini: No wonder there's no magic in the world today. You can't get the ingredients.
Dodger: [starting work unloading a crate] Do you sell much of this stuff? We've only had two customers and they didn't buy anything.
Captain Manzini: Patience is a bitter vine, dear Dodger, but it bears sweet fruit.
Dodger: Huh?
Captain Manzini: That's from the Greek. It loses a little something in translation. Now, let's add a little sparkle to our merchandise.
