Recently I watched Happiness for Beginners and It deserves 4/5 ratings. Good story, direction n casting. Feel good movie. For screenplay (photography) I rate 10/10.

There is always a place in my heart for feel good movies. I will add it to my to-watch list, thank you!

Do you have any favorites or standouts that you want to share?

I also love a good feel good movie. The first one that popped into my head was The Pursuit of Happiness, but I'm sure there's plenty more of them that I love. I'm just drawing a blank right now.

My personal favorite is "A Good Year" from 2006. It just gives me something that I can't and won't let go

Russell Crowe doesn't sing in it, does he?

Lol no Crowe has a band and he doesn't sing bad at all, but that scene sure is cringy

What I find interesting is that both Gladiator and A Good Year are from the same director with the same lead actor, but are completely different movies.

But that really is something. It definitely showcases both of their range and diversity.

Since it's Easter, we watched a family movie today and went with Wonka. I thought it was fantastic. I'm a big fan of the Gene Wilder version from the 70's, but this was on a different level entirely. It's an origin story, adding in a new backstory for Wonka's character and captures the Roald Dahl feel perfectly. If you want a feel-good movie that's fun for everyone, I highly recommend it.

Roald Dahl also wrote Matilda, Witches, BFG, James and the Giant Peach.
