Its A Wonderful Life is rather more sappy than happy. So, no to that one. If "happy" can also mean "funny" which makes one happy then most of Leslie Nilson's stuff.
Clerks 2 ..: one time I mentioned this movie on an other site and it sent a religious " nut" into a tail spin... I'm the devil spawn;) got donke? y @ ladyhorse ? Anyway clerks 2 makes me happy cos I mentioned I like it and caused a scene. It's fun though :)https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C05dEUdv0FE
Yesssss . I like the way he uses dialogue in his movies . I know can come across as "crass" to most... But there's so much there . I honestly think he is a genius. I like him so much live .. If you ever get a chance just listen to him talk ... Listen. It's the besterest :)
Hi nobodyliar~ There is no way I could name just one :) I'm all for Happy movies much more than slice and dice movies. Romantic and thought inspiring movies are great too; but, I think fun and happy movies are the best. If you are looking for some fun little flicks, here are some I enjoyed and some that had me rolling on the floor. They are NOT in any order.
Victor/Victoria City Slickers Meet The Parents The Full Monty Mary Poppins Office Space Day and Night (I think that's the title. Maybe Night and Day ?? With Tom Cruise and that really tall chick she was in Something about Mary too.. Shoot! Her name is eluding me right now. I think it starts with a "C". Something about Mary was pretty cute, too! Tootsie When Harry Met Sally Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
Right now, those are all I can think of that made me laugh. I couldn't put a favorite. They all have great points and really depends on what you are looking for. I hope this helps! ;)
Vicrot/Victoria is one of my favorite movies of all time! if you're referring to the version with Julie Andrews, then it's absolutely a great happy movie. it was so refreshing to me how progressive and intelligent the dialogoue was in that movie, aside from the stellar perfromance and fun plot, of course.
Thank you for the intensive list! I agree, happy movies are much better than slice and dice.. although for some, the two are synonymous.. not so much for me, though.
I've probably watched far fewer movies than anyone here, so I'm sure there is a happier one, but the feel good movie that comes to mind is The Last Mimzy.
Welcome, ALF. I like a lot of kids movies anyway, but that aside, I really found this to make you just feel good. Hope you enjoy it, and I'd be interested in your take on it after you watch it.

I like happy ending stories.. a couple of favourites that always leave me feeling happy are American Pie, My fair Lady, High Society, and almost anything with Cary Grant in it.. lol mostly old movies..
If you want to know, let me know and I can tell you if the kid stays alive. :) You're right - - she looks incredibly happy here - - the actress has a wonderful natural happiness in the movie to me. Oh, the movie is a comedy.
I'm with Welby!! That was a hilarious comeback!! Welby is pretty darn funny anyway and this was the perfect set-up! Too much fun with both of you!! Big giggles coming from over here! :D :D
