Feel Good Movies

[naomi24]

I watched Grease again the other day and as always ended up feeling about 12!  What a great movie that is!  Love it!  What are your feel good movies?

Love Actually,  at this time of year

I watched that again over Christmas, Margo.  Another one that leaves me smiling.

The Krays.

West Side Story (1961) for the soundtrack and the dancing. My best friend and I went to see when it first came out and we are still best friends now, so it holds a lot of memories for me

[naomi24]

Have you seen the new one, Margo?  It's magnificent.  

[MargoTester]

Yes I've seen it Naomi and it's good but nothing holds a candle to the original for me because of the memories it holds I guess 🙂

15:12 surely braveheart dougie!

The Green Mile,Kes,and any Will Hay films for me.

[Neveracrossword]

Brief Encounter (and it was on tv again last week).

[Canary42]

The Sound of Music. I feel good not watching it.

Seriously though, I've not really thought about it.  I confess that Love Actually does appeal to me still. Life of Brian another good one. And then the Ealing Comedies, especially The Lady Killers (I love the way the little old lady gets away with it).

Notting Hill, Love Actually, Grease and The King and I do it for me.

The Magnificent Seven, or Canarys The Lady Killers, The Italian job- I'm that old!!

Hi Margo, I actually bought the DVD when it was first available.  I love the original and I love the stage version and I didn't know what to expect - I was rather hoping it wouldn't be ruined - and I wasn't disappointed.   As a re-make of such a well-loved classic it needed to be handled sensitively - and it was.  I thought it quite magnificent.  Just beautiful.
