Feel Good Movies

As their title promises, feel good movies, well, never cease to make me feel good inside. Although they might be really corny, sometimes it's nice to watch stories where by the end of the movie, things fall miraculously into place and all is right in the world again. The plot is predictable, yes but still, it's nice to come out of these movies feeling pretty happy in the end. So if you're into feel good movies here is a list of some of my favorites. This list is in no particular order as I like all the movies equally as much.

1. Miracle-US hockey team beats the USSR
2.  Tea with Mussolini-it's about a little boy who grows up in Italy and is basically raised by a group of British ladies-it's cute and I love it!
3. Chicken Run-A group of chickens try and escape from a chicken farm to save themselves from being turned into chicken pies ("I don't want to be a pie!" either!)
4. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken-a girl who dives off a diving platform on horseback goes blind and overcomes her disability to ride again (why she chose a career in diving on horseback is beyond me but I still like the movie!)
5.Houseboat-Cary Grant plays a man who goes to live on a houseboat to live with his 3 insanely  cute children and eventually falls in love with Sofia Loren who plays the kids' nanny-lots of singing and dancing involved!
6. Beauty and the Beast-A tale as old as time-with lots of chipped cups of tea to watch it with!
7. When Harry Met Sally
8. Music of the Heart-Meryl Streep plays a woman who helped a group of school children learn to play the violin and they eventually all go on to play at Carnegie Hall.
9. Swiss Family Robinson-A family with 3 sons gets stranded on an island, builds an awesome treehouse, meets a beautiful girl and fights off pirates-all in about 2 hours! Gosh life as a shipwrecked family is so exciting!
10. Cool Runnings- A bobsled team from Jamaica goes to compete in the Olympics 
11. The Sound of Music-singing and dancing with adorable children and Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews dancing the ländler-(which seems like the most romantic dance ever when they dance together!)
12. Remember the Titans-Football team in the South gets integrated by Denzel Washington and they go on to win everything!
13. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory-the 1971 version as the newer version scares me-no offense to Mr. Depp!
