- DirectorMel GibsonStarsMel GibsonSophie MarceauPatrick McGoohanScottish warrior William Wallace leads his countrymen in a rebellion to free his homeland from the tyranny of King Edward I of England.Who couldn't feel better and sad at the same time after this one. I actually didn't want it to end and this movie was 3 hours long!
- DirectorFrank CapraStarsJames StewartDonna ReedLionel BarrymoreAn angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.I am not a big fan of the 40's style movies although I love several old B&W's from the 50's until color set in. I was a kid in the days of the color cabinet style TV's with 3 channels and the talk of adding one more. They didn't have remotes but if you had one of these TV's in your house you were big time! I didn't watch this movie until I was older and it because one of my favorite feel good movies
- DirectorBob ClarkStarsPeter BillingsleyMelinda DillonDarren McGavinIn the 1940s, a young boy named Ralphie Parker attempts to convince his parents, teacher, and Santa Claus that a Red Ryder Range 200 Shot BB gun really is the perfect Christmas gift.My family watched this every Christmas ..... Who could forget the story about the little boy who dreamed of the "Red Rider BB gun" To me this was the last of a era when people still had pride and worked for what they wanted.
- DirectorMimi LederStarsKevin SpaceyHaley Joel OsmentHelen HuntA young boy attempts to make the world a better place after his teacher gives him that chance.Great Feel Good Movie! The story is easy. If you pass a good deed on you will always have good luck
- DirectorCameron CroweStarsTom CruiseCuba Gooding Jr.Renée ZellwegerWhen a sports agent has a moral epiphany and is fired for expressing it, he decides to put his new philosophy to the test as an independent agent with the only athlete who stays with him and his former colleague.This movie had one of my favorite quotes - Discussion between Jerry and Rod about Jerry dating a single mom and telling him he he has to make a discussion. That "He Cant shoplift the Pootie" This was one of cuba gooding jr best movies I thought.
- DirectorMichael TollinStarsCuba Gooding Jr.Ed HarrisDebra WingerThe story of a high school coach and the developmentally challenged man who he took under his wing.Another great Cuba movie and most people don't realize he did so many of these type movies. Its just a great story
- DirectorVictor SalvaStarsMary SteenburgenSean Patrick FlaneryLance HenriksenAn off-the-charts genius who is home schooled and shunned after his last relative dies shows the unconscious residents of his town about connection awareness and the generosity of the spirit.This movie was a little symbolic to me of its place in time more so than the movie itself. I was part of the Hard Rock Scene of the early 90's and although I didn't get the meaning of this movie until years later and it was a great story. It was the fall of my generation and the birth of grunge. It was the story of the outcasts and how they were feed up with being ignored. This movie made it ok to be different and be proud of it. It didn't mean this for me but I understand its place in history. I remember the theaters were so packed you couldn't get in. It was a sight to see!
- DirectorChris ColumbusStarsMacaulay CulkinJoe PesciDaniel SternAn eight-year-old troublemaker, mistakenly left home alone, must defend his home against a pair of burglars on Christmas Eve.This was just a great family movie with good clean fun for all ages. This was one of the first movies that my kids sat with us as a family and watched together.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsTom HanksRobin WrightGary SiniseThe history of the United States from the 1950s to the '70s unfolds from the perspective of an Alabama man with an IQ of 75, who yearns to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart.Very long weird movie that jumped all over the place but each story line had a feel good part in it. If you think feel good you cant leave this one out
- DirectorAndrew StantonLee UnkrichStarsAlbert BrooksEllen DeGeneresAlexander GouldAfter his son is captured in the Great Barrier Reef and taken to Sydney, a timid clownfish sets out on a journey to bring him home.I don't usually consider animation in my feel good movies. This one had a meaning more for me about my kids and finally sinking in that I'm now an adult. I now had someone that depended on me. I took my 4 year old daughter to see this movie and my my son was a baby.
