My next Top Fifteen Category was sent out in February of 2009 and was “FEEL GOOD MOVIES.

 

My general definition of a “feel good “  movie is one that makes you feel happy and cheerful and and leaves you with a tingling sense of well-being and optimism. Everyone probably has his or her own definition and, therefore, will have a different group of movies that fit that definition. Some movies may be good to great movies, but do not meet my definition of a “feel good” movie. They may be funny..a comedy..they may be inspirational…usually a drama…but they are not quite a “feel good” movie.
