A sappy feel-good movie?

[Binkie The Clown]

I'm in the mood for a sappy feel-good movie. Any recommendations?

[Polly Hennessey]

1. Well, if you feel like a wee bit of the Irish today try:

Wild Mountain Thyme with Jaimie Dornan, Emily Blunt, and Christopher Walken. ☘️☘️🍀

[Binkie The Clown]

14. Oh yeah. Gotta watch that again. (P.S. I'm legit Irish) nt

[Mme. Defarge]

2. Dave

[Binkie The Clown]

15. One my favorites! Thanks for reminding me. I think I still have it on DVD. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. One of my all time favorite movies! Kevin Kline is brilliant.

3. Old Yeller

[MontanaMama]

4. Old Yeller?

If I recall correctly, I bawled my eyes out during that movie. Is there another Old Yeller that I don't know about?

[Binkie The Clown]

16. Oh geez. I was 12 first time I saw that. So sad. nt

70's. fonda, donald sutherland and peter boyle. soundtrack by paul butterfield blues band.

[Binkie The Clown]

7. The Princess Bride is always a treat

ETA: I watched Almost Famous recently and enjoyed the heck out of it.
It’s not really sappy, but it’s definitely feel good.

[Binkie The Clown]

17. Haha. Princess Bride's in my DVD collection. In fact, I watched it a few weeks ago.

I also have Almost Famous. Haven't watched that in a couple years. I got a kick out of seeing Pauley Parrette (Abbey on NCIS) in that! Also I was a big Anna Paquin fan at the time, and who doesn't absolutely love Zooey Deschanel?

[happybird]

30. Oh my gosh, I was just looking at a list of 'actors you didn't realize were in Almost Famous'

and saw this!



!!!

I enjoy Faruza Balk, too. So many good actors in that movie.

8. Is "The Last Mimzy" w/Rainn Wilson still on Netflix? If so, check it out. Can watch with kids too

[Binkie The Clown]

18. Haven't heard of that. I'll put it on my list. Thanks. nt

[Glorfindel]

9. You can't beat "Love, Actually"

It's probably the ultimate sappy, feel-good movie...in a good way. It's not just a Christmas story.

[wryter2000]

10. True

I'm always so sad, though, that we lost Alan Rickman.

[Binkie The Clown]

20. Alan Rickman! He was so much more than just Snape and the Grabthar's hammer guy. hehe. nt

[wryter2000]

36. He was amazing in the Jane Austen adaptation

I believe Sense and Sensibility.

11. "Ride like a Girl". "Captain Fantastic"

"Penguin Bloom"

[Binkie The Clown]

25. Ride Like a Girl is already on my Netflix list. I'll watch it! I will add the other two for sure.

[Silver Gaia]

32. I will vouch for Captain Fantastic, too!

Penguin Bloom is also on my list but haven't seen it yet.

[Binkie The Clown]

33. I assumed it was some super hero movie. But the trailer.... Wow. Gotta watch it now for sure. nt

[bif]

12. And "Fisherman's Friends"

[Binkie The Clown]

27. Just now watched the trailer on Netflix. Definitely added to my list. Thanks.

[mucifer]

13. "The Apartment" Shirley McClain and Jack Lemon.

[Binkie The Clown]

22. Yes. I remember watching that in the Theater when it first came out.

I had such a crush on Shirley McClain. For some reason that movie will always be associated in my mind with Days of Wine and Roses. Probably the Jack Lemon connection. For some reason Lee Remick's line in Swedish, "Tillsammans i himlen." (I'm just guessing at the spelling) has stuck in my mind for the last 60 years!!!

19. Pele the Conqueror

Heheh. I kid. Grim. G. R. I. M.

[Binkie The Clown]

24. New to me. It's now on my list. Thanks. nt

[blm]

26. No. I was just kidding. It is NOT a lighthearted movie, at all.

It’s a great movie, but, it’s harsh and painful to watch at times.

[Binkie The Clown]

28. Sometimes that's exactly what I need. :) It stays on my list for darker times. hehe.

[Midnight Writer]

21. I'm partial to Frank Capra films. Arsenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant is good.

[Binkie The Clown]

23. "Look, Aunt Martha, men don't just get into window seats and die!" hahaha nt.

[blm]

29. Same.

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. Ruby Sparks!
