Feel free to share your favorite movies.

I cried all night the other night watching the Sound of Music!
But, they were good tears!
It was a walk down memory lane to a simpler time. A happier time.

Anyone else?

Shalom!

The only movie that I really like that isn't depressing is "Elf." A good movie at this time of year though.

I love sad movies. There's something cathartic about depressing movies for me. And do I know some sad flicks!

Oh, and "Philadelphia Story" that's a classic I couldn't live without. A few scenes showing the futility of drunkenness! Jimmy Stewart and Kathrine Hepburn together... it's a symphony of acting skill!

Bamboozle

Spaceballs

Harvey; an old classic with a very young Jimmy Stewart.
He was a drunk with an imaginary 6 foot rabbit friend.
It's hilarious, without being a bit derogatory to those with alcohol problems.
A "gotta see" film!

Shalom!

The film that always makes me feel good is Love Actually - it's so uplifting I love it.

I saw "Seabiscuit" during a particularly rough patch and that gave me a huge boost to my spirits. Great film.

Also "Gattaca" and "Serenity" come to mind as being mood improvers.
