I overindulged in horror flicks the past two months and am now ready for some feel-good movies but I’m at a loss of what to watch right now. I thought I’d ask the collective what they like to watch.
I’d specifically like to hear about movies made in the last 10 years but I’m happy to hear about others. :)

I highly recommend Patrick, a British movie on Netflix about a young woman who inherits a pug dog after her relative passes away. In the hands of an American director, this movie would have easily slid into sappy territory. I think the Brits avoid that, and this is a wonderful movie.

The Sandlot / My Favorite Year Take aways – Baseball is Life My Favorite Year – You ARE that guy! No one is that good of an actor! Oh, and not nesseasarily feel good, but funny as hell – Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Takeaway- In the name of Her Majesty and the Continental Congress, stop jabbering and feed that ammo belt boy!
I’m kind of an ‘old movies junky’ So I don’t have many new movies that I like. Still my favorite ‘feel good’ movie is ‘Pocketful of Miracles’ (Glen Ford, Hope Lange, Peter Faulk. 1961). I guarantee you’ll feel good after watching it. Of course there’s also classics like ‘The Natural’, The Electric Horseman, The Last Starfighter’, and Pure Luck.
The big snit… The cat came back. Both from the Canadian film board.
I like a lot of them. To mind came Mystic Pizza.
