Movies have the ability to transport us away from reality and immerse us in worlds of fantasy, horror, comedy, drama, and so on.
We look for movies to watch in our local theaters or on Netflix to pass the time when we're bored. In our search for good films, we frequently overlook feel-good films that are intended to lift our spirits.
After a long day at work, are you finally home? Or do you have a sneaking suspicion that you're up to no good? Give these heartwarming films a chance to make you smile.
Groundhog Day
Have you ever felt like you were repeating the same day? This is merely a metaphor for going through the same routine every week. However, the protagonist Phil Connors, who awoke every day to find himself stuck on February 2nd, had a different experience. It was the 2nd of February for Phil Connors every day, from the early hours of the morning to the end of the day, and incidents repeated themselves.
Only his actions could alter the day's events from the previous day. For the protagonist, his unruly situation is a mix of freedom and captivity, as he initially enjoys himself by doing whatever he wants and then tries to find ways to wake up to the next day in his life, February 3rd.
When you watch this fantasy comedy feel-good film, your mundane week will suddenly seem less monotonous.
Little Miss Sunshine
Families can be difficult to deal with at times. It's possible that one will have to deal with the other's ego, attitude, laziness, and other negative characteristics. Little Miss Sunshine is a film that teaches viewers about the importance of having a family, despite its drawbacks.
When Olive, a young girl in the film, is selected for a California beauty pageant, she and her dysfunctional family, which includes an overworked mother, an egotistical father, a suicidal gay uncle, a foul-mouthed grandfather, and her half-brother, travel in their van to arrive on time. Their 800-mile road trip was marred by tensions between family members as well as mechanical issues with their van.
As it unravels the personal lives of the characters during the long road trip, the film has its fair share of comedy, tragedy, and serenity. As a result, it has become one of the most memorable feel-good films of all time.
About a Boy
When you combine a spoiled man with a socially awkward child, you get the film 'About A Boy.' Will Freeman plays an adult who forms an unlikely friendship with a 12-year-old boy named Marcus while looking for a date in this comedy-drama. Will develops into a responsible man as a result of his friendship with Marcus, and he begins to seek out meaningful relationships in his life.
'About A Boy' says a lot about friendships that come in all shapes and sizes. Will and Marcus's bravery in standing up for each other in the face of adversity is one of the film's most touching moments. This film, like the other feel-good films on the list, concludes with a message. When you sit for this one, bring a friend with you.
50/50
Adam Lerner's life is depicted in 50/50, a film about a man who is given a 50% chance of survival after being diagnosed with a tumor in his spine. Despite the film's grim subject matter, the audience, as well as Adam, can take comfort in the fact that he is not alone. As Adam's friend sticks by him and tries to help him cope with his trauma, the film manages to sneak in some dark comedy.
This film teaches you that even in the darkest hour, there is light in the form of your friends and family. It not only depicts the protagonist's struggles, but also sheds light on his friends and family members who are experiencing unspoken grief and pain as a result of his illness. That is the true beauty of this happy-go-lucky film.
Life is beautiful
Guido Crefice, a young Jewish man captured by Nazi Germany along with his son when the Nazis invaded the Kingdom of Italy during World War II, had a difficult life. Guido, a witty man, kept the gruesome facts of slavery and abuse from his son Giosue, portraying the situation to him as a game in which he must follow certain rules in order to win a military tank at the end.
Despite the fact that the Nazi concentration camp took up the majority of the film. Guido is wooing his love interest in the opening scenes, and viewers are sure to notice his wit and courage. The film is truly unique in that it uses slavery, abuse, and death as a backdrop to convey the message of finding humour and peace amidst life's trials and tribulations.
Here ends the list of feel-good movies for good vibes. Enjoy!
