It's not weird, I just think that if Coppola was going to make a movie called "Bram Stoker's Dracula" that it might have been a good idea beforehand TO ACTUALLY READ BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA!!!! :O

I've seen toilet paper commercials that were more loyal to that book!

I meant it in a personal sense, as in anything that leaves you feeling fulfilled and generally awesome afterwards. If some people feel fulfilled after The Human Centipede, then... Well, I don't know what then exactly :P

You sir, have goddamn impeccable taste :-)

I'll throw in a few as well:

Love Actually
About Time
The Breakfast Club
Labyrinth
Dead Poets Society

It seems this thread has turned into a general discussion about movies in general.

I've tried to start threads (on other forums) about movies asking a specific question like you did and these threads always devolve into "ooh, my favorite movies are..."

The original question always falls by the wayside. Movie threads are easy to derail, I guess?

Before I changed my comment, it originally said ">inb4 somebody jokes and says 'Saw'". I changed it because I didn't think anybody would actually do it (or that just my saying it would make somebody do it). I was wrong.

I think it means movies that instill/leave you feeling in good spirits. Replay value is something else entirely.

Real Genius is a good one!
I would think porn movies would have been the go-to jokes rather than the opposite "feel bad" types, but apparently not!

Dazed and Confused
Sweet and Lowdown

OK, The last three on that list I have seen, and have regrettably forgotten to add those to my list. However, I have not seen Love Actually or About Time, it looks like I have something interesting to watch now!
I believe that I chose "Real Genius" because I was in college at the time and I found it very inspiring. While I wasn't building a laser-powered "death ray" (which you can do with some Fresnel lenses and a sunny day), tackling calculus, physics and electronics were quite the struggle, especially while I was still wanting to spend time on my old 99/4a.

Me and that TI go back a few years further though, when my parents bought it for $59 at a Sears fire sale. There was even a time while we (the family) were all around that CRT reading and offering ideas to play Scott Adams' Adventure!

...that's not how you read a book, tinyE.

Okay - my fave feel good movies:

VIVA (2007)
Playboy-inspired sexploitation pastice by one Anna Biller who directed, wrote, and played the title role. I just love those reacreations of colorful seventies interiors (also done by Anna Biller)

KAMIKAZE GIRLS (2004) is a buddy movie about two radically opposite personalities, a biker chick and a girl obsessed with lolita fashion, crashing into each other at top speed. The colors are saturated, the music is great and the entire thing is bursting with anarchistic insanity.

Cannibal Holocaust. When I see it, I remember why I'm a misanthrope and all is well.

As a "shock movie", I don't find it so shocking these days given the wide range of human depravity which already exists that media joyously covers.
Oh Captain my Captain!
No, you have to draw little pictures on each and every sheet., pulling them in rapid succession caused those pictures to animate, making a cartoon out of wiping one's bum.

However, they were probably drawn on the assumption that one didn't have the galloping trots.

Well, I imagine that British movies probably aren't all that popular in the US. I highly recommend both of them though. Love Actually is technically a Christmas movie, but I'll happily watch it any day of the year.

If it bleeds it leads. Equally true of fiction and non-fiction.

Almost anything John Carpenter's.
Specially the Thing and They Live... Dat credits' synth....
