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!
Chef is a 2014 road comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by Jon Favreau, who also stars in the film as a celebrity chef who quits his job at a popular Los Angeles restaurant following a public altercation with a food critic and begins to operate a food truck with his friends and his young son. It co-stars Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Amy Sedaris, Emjay Anthony, and Dustin Hoffman, along with Robert Downey Jr.
Big Trouble in Little China
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
My dad and I don't see eye to eye on much but this film is something we both adore.
Lost in Translation
Does it have to just be a film?
Any of the Monty Python skits or films.

Wallace and Gromit
5th Element
Shawshank Redemption
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:
- Land Before Time ( specifically the first and the one where they cross the ocean to an island ).
- An American Tail ( and the sequel ).
- 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.
I've seen it! It's a reallg good film, kinda surprised it's someone's feel good though?
