Feelgood movies - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Feelgood movies - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Carsten and I arranged a feel-good movie night last week. Its simple: Get some nice people together and watch a movie that makes you feel good. We saw Field of dreams, which to me epitomizes the genre. It contains every single element that makes a good feel-good movie: Its a quiet, touching movie with a positive theme, it shows people acting selflessly and it has a happy ending (essential to a feel-good movie). Also, Field of dreams is about forgiveness, redemption and second chances themes which often figure in feel-good movies. Other excellent examples of the genre are: A wonderful life Amelie Russian pizza blues Eat drink man woman Pane e tulipani The fisher king Out of Rosenheim (Bagdad Cafe) Pleasantville Down by law Forrest Gump Mifunes sidste sang Some movies are not really feel-good per se, but still contain the feel-god factor. A few examples of these are: Good Will Hunting The snapper Hable con ella Jonathan Livingston Seagull Mitt liv som hund Royal Tenenbaums Shawshank redemption Smoke La vita e bella Whats eating Gilbert Grape And some movies are just so exuberant and joyful, that they can deliver that feel-good kick, through sheer pizzazz and energy: Much ado about nothing Moulin Rouge Rocky Horror Picture Show Oceans eleven If you know a movie that should be on this list, let me know.
