    It's a classic! Do you like the sequels?

    I do. The first film is perfect, or nearly so. It's charming, full of details, funny, and obviously hugely influential. But I find it also perfectly captures that upbeat 80s vibe. It's endlessly quotable.

    The sequels are not necessary but well executed, about as good as sequels can get. I probably liked Part 2 more as a kid, but I still enjoy them both. I find the self-referential time-loop history-repeating-itself stuff both appropriate and limiting. But they're fun. I'm still disappointed we never got those hover-boards.

    Chef is the bestest answer to this question. All day. A film with no major conflict where things only improve for the characters until the credits roll.

    Which Chef? There are quite a few!

    Intouchables

    I like UHF.

    The Untouchables has always been a favorite. The scene where they're riding to confront the mobsters on horses at the Canadian border lifts my mood every time. Yeah, I know it's unhistorical garbage, but that theme, man. As the music swells, my heart soars.

    It's definitely a tie between a few different animated films I saw growing up. In no particular order:

    1. Land Before Time ( specifically the first and the one where they cross the ocean to an island ).
    2. An American Tail ( and the sequel ).
    3. Secret of NIHM. We had to read the book in 4th grade and then we got to watch the movie. It was a blast.

    It's hard for me to pick which one of those are my favorite feel-good* film.

    *Feel-good as in makes me feel good watching them.
