What's your feel good show?

[Deleted]

Yes! I'm starting threads! I refuse to see this board die. As a single person (current or previously) what were your feel good TV shows or movies. I found so many made me feel sad because they ended up with a great happy ending that I just didn't see panning out for me.

I love:

Bridesmaids (even though spoiler alert: it ends up happy, I think it really portrays the struggle)
Mad Men-It had some kick ass females who didn't need a man
Anchorman--It just makes me laugh with mild romantic undertones
Love Actually--I KNOW a lot of people hate it. But I like that there are all perspectives
Three Men and a Baby--Just makes me feel good to see such a positive portrayal of men stepping it up.

Outlander
The Big Chill
Pitch Perfect
Elizabethtown
Cars (yes, a cartoon)
Madagascar
Ice Age
Independence Day
totally agree with Love Actually, and I raise you Serendipity
You've Got Mail (I love Meg Ryan)
As Good as it Gets

I love The Good Wife. I know it says wife, but it's really about her making it on her own.

A good Parks and Rec marathon is always my go-to when I need a light pick me up. I think there are only a couple episodes that made me tear up (like the city council election episode, but that's only because I was so.damn.proud of Leslie in that episode, haha. I feel ridiculous even typing that!) I love the humor of that show...it's great, and always makes me laugh.

If I'm in the mood for a movie, I usually go for Pitch Perfect. Mindless comedy with good music? Yes, please!

I definitely agree with mad men.

Not relationship oriented, but the unbreakable kimmy schmidt always makes me LOL.

Broad City
30 Rock
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Bridesmaids

My default when I'm feeling a bit sad or lonely is Will & Grace. A Real Housewives marathon always amuses me too. For movies, the Sound of Music will always be tops.

OH yes, Will and Grace is so much fun.

For movies...
- Both of the Bridget Jones movies
- Sliding Doors - a more obscure choice, but it jives with my feeling that things happen for a reason, destiny, etc.
- Singles
- The Princess Diaries 1 and 2
- Anne of Green Gables miniseries - Gilbert and Anne will always make me swoon

Tv shows...
- Sex and the City - at times this show drives me nuts, especially Carrie, but almost every episode I felt like there was some little nugget I could relate to, and I like that I can relate to a certain degree with all of the female leads, not just one
- Golden Girls - because this is the original SATC, the comedy version!
- I also like The Good Wife - very strong female characters
- Survivor and The Amazing Race have long been my favorite reality competition shows because they appeal to the adventurer in me
- Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU

[sessy]

Gilmore girls

[jenstar]

Hart of Dixie
Broad City
The Mindy Project

Monster in Law with JLo.. I love the house in that movie and I used to watch it just to look at the house but now I've lost the DVD
Elf

Big Fish

Friends
Gilmore Girls
M*A*S*H
Law & Order SVU - who am I kidding, anything Dick Wolfe will do.

Movies:
Anchorman
The Wedding Date
The Heat
The Wedding Ringer (special to me because it's what FI and I saw on our first date, but it's HILARIOUS all on it's own)

TV:
SATC
Big Bang Theory
Bones

[Mrs.Rad888]
