Am I the only guy who think "The Intern" is a good feel-good movie?

[Scorch]

When Im depressed, I always watch Fight Club.
Losing all hope is freedom.

“The Princess Bride” is no doubt my favorite movie... i showed it to my mom last month for the first time. She enjoyed it and she asked me why I love it so much, and I told her “all I know that it’s the only movie that makes me instantly happy.” I even have “As you wish” tattooed on my wrist as a sign of motivation. ♥️

[koushiksrinivas]

Pursuit Of Happynes...Will Smith made me cry there

[laurenberry]

LEGALLY BLONDE?! That movie never fails to make me smile and feel warm and fuzzy inside!

[tomsnow]

Good will hunting makes me feel good everytime.

[SuperBC]

I first saw "It's a Wonderful Life" when I was nine and I was forced to watch it by my parents. Did not want to see it. How wrong I was. By the end of the film, I knew it was one of the most amazing films I'd had ever seen. Still feel that way more than 30 years later. One of the best movies of all time. Well deserved it got the top spot.

[Gornorudnik]

My number one "feel good" movie will always be The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Every time i finish watching it there is a sense of greatness, happiness and epic accomplishment.

Why is there no "the green mile", "a beautiful mind"
This are so heart warming movies

[mythicalashley]

Little miss sunshine is the most realistic movie I've ever seen, especially when the son finds out he can't become a pilot and starts scream crying it's heart wrenching

[konraddygudaj]

My favourite feel good movies: Alladin, The Princess Bride, School of Rock, Singin in the rain, Zootopia, Shakespeare in Love, Harry Potter.
