Title: Best feel good film
Post by: Rosemary on March 28, 2009, 09:41:28 pm
I've just watched "Mamma Mia" - saw the stage show in London a few years ago and loved it. Was prepared to pan the film but loved it too. It's such a feel-good movie.

What's your best feel-good movie?

Jean de florette & Manon des Sources....Good quality French cinema (not a huge amount of it about!). If you haven't watched them Mr. Ree I highly recommend them.

That's remeinded me of the film "the colour purple" is that with Oprah Wimphrey? if it was, I was  spellbound, I noticed I was sitting with my mouth open and perfectly still, that for me is amazing, I din't even have any sweets, nopt really a feel good film but an excellant one, I also like Tarrentino films and ususlay end up buying soundtracks, I had a college that was going to take over a job I had and I was to introduce her to my clients, I took her around in my yellow VW with Tarrentino soundrack on my surround sound CD player, she was a very attractive young girl that did martial arts and looked like she had come from a Tarrentino film with her jet black straight hair cut, needless to say she loved it!!!! buy the way, I am hetrosexual but I know an attractive person when I see one ;)

You cab say what you like about black beauty......but he made damn good glue!!


Now bet that made you cry! Sorry i'm just sick, couldn't resist. We were going to France one year and my oldest son saw a picture of a horse. He asked 'Daddy can I ride that horse?'. 'You sure can I replied'.....in my mind all I was thinking was ... Hey, it's France, you could eat him if you wanted too....and no, before you ask I didn't say it....i'm sick....just not that sick!

The music to the TV series Black Beauty makes me cry. I think it's called "Galloping Home" and now I can't get it out of my head. The theme to "Born Free" has the same effect and "Tara's Theme" from "Gone with the Wind".

The music from Black Beauty makes you want to run around smacking your bum, well it did me when I wasyounger as I did not have a horse, my daughters used to do that as well. I think Black Beauty was probably the first book I read, I cried toooooo :'(

There you go - "Black Beauty" was the first "proper" novel I read - I got it as a Sunday school prize and I still have it. I reread it a couple of years ago and bawled my eyes out when Ginger died.

do we mean feel good or feel sad?
feel good films for me are all comedies, like hot fuzz or animal house or blues brothers.
feel sad fims are the cider rules with michael caine, or other such films that require abit of coughing to cover up a watery eye situation.

Russ, if I ran around smacking my bum to Black Beauty you would need oxygen from laughing, I think I would be laughing too, mind you, I do do it all the time, sometimes guests catch me dancing and singing ;D ;D ;D I remember dancing in the rain in the garden with no cothes on, just a coat and some wellies lovely ;D anyway, I love funny films and realy enjoyed Trainspotting!!!!! Austin Powers films but realy realy LOVE the whole lot of Lord of the Rings films, my ideal  life, in fact tonight we went for a long walk in the Forest...very Lord of the rings with Aarogon besides me (how do you spell that?)
