    Watch some Laurel & Hardy / Marx Brothers / Three Stooges.

    They still absolutely crack me up and I've been watching them since I'm a kid.

    They're good silly fun :)

    The History Boys was a good quiet movie with some great humour.

    I tend to re-watch 80s movies. It's nostalgic and reminds me of simpler times in my life.
    Jim Carrey movies in general will usually cheer me up too.

    The first three Indiana Jones movies or the BTTF movies.

    I am generally not one for the blockbuster type films but whenever I am trying to forget about things for a while and just get absorbed into another world I always end up watching . . . . Jurassic Park.

    Makes me feel like a kid again. Watching as the helicopter flies towards the island with the iconic music playing in the background never fails to bring a smile.

    Alone in the Wilderness. In the 60s, outdoorsman Dick Prenneke took a super-8 camera with him to Alaska and documented the process of building a homestead.

    Really a great film

    It's not a feel good film but it definitely makes you feel something. I remember saying to my oh after watching it that I felt strange and different after. It's not a light film!

    If you're depressed, a movie won't help. Have you went to the doctor?

    When I’m miserable I tend to re-watch movies. I love movies where the characters are at their best, at the top of their game.

    Margin Call or Zodiac are two that spring to mind. Michael Clayton too.

    For something a bit different I might want Constantine or The Incredibles.


    SNAPS. Throw in Summer of Sam.

    Twelve Angry Men is a fantastic completely absorbing film.

    The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. There's about 7 movies in it, one of them should make you smile.

    Shawshank redemption is a good one, if you've not seen it before.

    ???

    An innocent man is thrown in prison, the system conspires to keep him there and he gets raped half way through, just before the old man hangs himself because he can't keep up with a changed world. A real upbeat number alright.
