Hey everyone! So I think we can all agree that we need a bit of positivity at the moment. There’s a lot of things that could bring us down, and sometimes we need something that can cheer us up and make us smile. For me, I turn to music, tv, and movies. Watching your favorite movies can be a great way to cheer up and put a smile on your face. So here are my top twenty favorite movies to watch when you need to feel good.
THE PRINCESS BRIDE
This is such a classic. It’s a great movie for when you need a bit of nostalgia and to just feel great. Every character is amazing in their own special way. A must watch.
TANGLED
This is one of my all time favorite movies. Flynn Rider is one of the best Disney princes, and Rapunzel is such a strong character.
PRETTY IN PINK
So at first, I did not want to watch this movie. I thought it was going to be stupid and overly cliche due to the title. But my mom finally convinced me to watch it and those previous statements are all false. Ducky is the best character, and the message of excepting who you are and where you come from is amazing.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOLUME TWO
This is one of my favorite marvel movies, and has baby Groot in it. Also the fight scene with the huge pacman head always makes me smile. The Guardians movies also feature the best soundtracks, and this one will definitely make you smile. The intro with Baby Groot is worth watching the whole movie for, and sets up the tone nicely.
THE GAME PLAN
Another one of my favorite movies. I quote this movie on a daily basis, and love the dynamic between the father and daughter. Plus, I love how they show ballet and football being intertwined. It’s pretty interesting. My favorite scene is still when he’s leaving the club and he left Payton behind, and “My Girl” by The Temptations is playing. It’s just a great movie.
FROZEN
So this movie has the stupidest plot ever, the worst villain, and you could say more. But I love the songs and the characters and it just makes you feel good. It’s a fun kids movie and I love these characters so freaking much. I actually watched a video that explained Hans’ character a bit and why they included that, and I have more respect for his arc the more I learn why it might’ve been included. Also, Frozen 2 was amazing, and is actually a good film with a nice plot. I actually appreciated the story and loved Elsa’s arc. But yeah, Frozen is just a fun film that isn’t the greatest but you just love because you love, okay? (Sorry I just really love Frozen and don’t think it deserves the hate it gets.)
HITCH
Will Smith playing matchmaker for Kevin James. How can that movie not make you feel good? It’s hilarious and the scene where he is trying to learn to dance never fails to crack me up.
BEST PLAYER
This was a movie that premiered on Nickelodeon. It’s about a thirty year old guy living in his parents basement who plays video games. Yeah, it’s silly, but it’s hilarious, especially the chicken time song.
PAUL BLART MALL COP
Speaking of Kevin James, this movie always makes me laugh. It’s so stupid that it’s amazing. Pahud is the best character. If you have seen the movie, you understand, if you haven’t, then, maybe go watch it.
MADAGASCAR
There are a lot of amazing jokes in this movie. The first one is the best, in my opinion, and the second one is also pretty amazing. So many quotable lines.
ANT MAN
This is just a fun movie. I honestly don’t think it’s a great film, but it’s nice to watch when you just want something fun and entertaining. Louis is amazing, and so is Antony. Antony is the main reason to watch the movie, he deserves only the best.
RATATOUILLE
This is my favorite Pixar movie. It’s set in Paris, and it features Patton Oswalt. It has a lot of heart and is well executed. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might even crave some ratatouille afterwards yourself.
FERRIS BUELLERS DAY OFF
Another John Hughes classic, this movie just gets better the more you watch it. There are so many amazing scenes and quotable lines, and it will definitely put a smile on your face.
WINNIE THE POOH (2011)
This brings back so many pleasant memories from my childhood, and actually isn’t a bad movie! It’s really cute, and will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING
I laugh so hard whenever I watch or think about this movie. It’s another fun one to watch and is real lighthearted.
THE HUNDRED FOOT JOURNEY
This movie is absolutely beautiful. It shows how different cultures can blend together beautifully. I love the characters, and the settings are gorgeous. The food looks delicious. Another one where you might be craving the five sauces or a nice omelet after you watch it.
THE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE
So I’m talking about the first one, the one that was actually supposed to end the series. It encapsulates everything that made the show so great. The songs are all complete bops, and the whole subplot with Patrick and Mindy the Mermaid is amazing. Oh and there’s a Baywatch reference with David Hasselhoff. Yeah, it’s pretty epic.
LEGALLY BLONDE
This is one of my favorite movies, and I love the message it sends as well. Elle Woods is not a “dumb blonde”, she’s the amazing lawyer who got into Harvard and proved everyone wrong. It’s a great film to watch when you need a laugh, a confidence boost, and to know that us females can do it all.
THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY
This movie is beautiful for a number of reasons: the ending, Ben Stiller’s performance, and then the settings. If you are missing being able to go out and see the world, this is a film for you to watch. The scenes of beautiful Iceland should help cure it, and the story should warm your heart.
HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS
This is such a petty movie, and that’s exactly why I love it. It’s absolutely hilarious, and my favorite scene has to be when she makes him go to the Celine Dion concert. I felt so bad for that guy. It’s great for a rainy day when you need to just feel good.
So there you have it! Those are my top twenty feel good movies, I hope you enjoyed the list, and that give these movies a shot when you need one of those movies that are tailor made for rainy days.
