What movie do you watch to lift your spirits? Or, every time you watch it, it brings a smile to your face?
For me it's Big with Tom Hanks.

The Birdcage - I went with some friends on opening night. We had such a good dinner before the movie and such a great time. Then we got to the theatre right when the movie started and it was packed, so we couldn't sit together - there were only single seats left, so we all sat with strangers. But it was so much fun, sharing all those funnies with the strangers beside me. Laughing with people I didn't know. Then we went back to someone's house and drank wine and listened to Big Head Todd & the Monsters and talked until late at night. So besides just being a great funny classic movie, it reminds me a of wonderful night with wonderful people when my life was easier to manage.
I love this one too. (Almost) all of Tom's movies would be my feel-good movies.
...no movie really, usually when our moods suck big-time, Tracy and I will pop one of Jeff Dunham's DVD's in the player and that will quickly put a grin above the chin...
Bogie and Bacall's "To Have and Have Not", and with Walter Brennan and Hogie Carmichael, then there's "We're No Angels", again Humphrey Bogart, and Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray, a lovely Joan Bennet, and Basil Rathbone...unless I'm just pissed off, then pretty much anything directed by Sam Peckinpah
Oh, and I love Newman and Redford's, "The Sting".
Huh, howza 'bout that, I are officially a full blown geezer
.
Actually there's so many, I mean how could Mickey's "Fantashia" not cheer ya up
?

The Sting - classic! Fantasia is awesome too!
My 27 year old son says the Muppets cheer him up, every time! I love Gonzo!
I love
the old men in the balcony.
I love this one too. My favorite scene is where he and John Hurt's character fight over a ball (I think they were playing handball?).
Today I watched Young Frankenstein again--I always laugh at all the jokes even though I've seen it so many times.
"Nice hopping."
The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
I loved big when I was younger, haven't seen it for years though. Some of mine would be Home Alone (1 and 2), Commando, Stand by Me. For some reason one of my favourite films is The Day After Tomorrow.
The Jerk, The Blues Brothers, Animal House, Blazing Saddles...
Blues Brother is SUCH a feel-good movie! Love it!
Bad Santa. Because it's wicked funny and it ends with good heart.
