If you want an old, feel-good movie I definately recommend The Best Years of Our Lives which I saw for the first time when I was at home in highschool, sick with the flu. It just made my whole day better

Other classic movies I recommend are:

Casablanca
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Giant
The Greatest Show on Earth
The Birds
The Stepford Wives
Pscycho
Vertigo
Gone With the Wind
All About Eve
Doctor Zhivago

Mean Girls- One of the better teen films of recent years

Hope Springs- A cute romantic comedy with Colin Firth.

Love Actually- A romantic and often hilarious comedy with Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Kiera Knightley and Billy Bob Thorton, among others.

The Royal Tenenbaums- A feel-good movie IMO. Kind of slow but good.

Lost in Translation- Slow-moving but warm and romantic comedy.

Scenes from a Mall- Woody Allen and Bette Midler star. 'Nuff said.

1. Along Came a Spider
2. Yours, Mine, and Ours
3. Scary Movie 3 (and 1- NOT 2!)
4. The Sandlot
5. Heavyweights
6. Stand By Me
7. Murder by Numbers

Tourist Trap

The Legend of Hell House

Backbeat

Monty Python's Life of Brian

The Fog

You definately should - I don't know of anyone that has seen this movie and not loved it.

webuster · 05-24-2004, 02:17 PM

'Scenes from a Mall' is another film I've wanted to see- I've never seen a Woody Allen movie, plus I think Bette Midler's great! Need to find a copy. I've seen loads of recommendations to watch 'when harry met sally' before- it was on a few nights ago and I missed most of it- need to see it too. Anywho, my recommendations are:

Waking Life
The Stepford Wives
Rope
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Ruthless People
Donnie Darko
Dogville
Little Shop of Horrors

Maybe we should start threads for 'movies depending on what mood you're in'- considering some movies are really uplifting and others make you loathe everything.

You sure like John Cusack movies

All the movies mentioned (that I've seen) are good, except Donnie Darko. It's highly depressing. At least it was to me. Everyone I know LOVES it, but I found it to be HEAVILY depressing and it weighed me down and I wasn't myself for 3 days.
