Gotta agree on Stardust and The Princess Bride.

Also...

Enchanted April
Cold Comfort Farm

Sense and Sensibility, where Alan Rickman gets to play a nice guy for once.

Well……there are plenty, but right off the top of my old skull.



Forest Gump ( I totally agree with)

To Kill a Mockingbird ( an oldie but I still enjoy it and feel it’s one of the best pieces of celluloid ever created)

Those are just 2.

Since I’m not limiting myself to movies I have to say that the Firefly saga is one of the best pieces of storytelling ever produced for the small screen. Every episode seemed to finish on a positive note.


Just the way I see it, Z

Miracle on 34th St ( the original-- I watch it every year.)



It might be blasphemy, but I prefer the remake. Mara Wilson is charming, and Richard Attenborough IS Kris Kringle!

Watch that one every year, too. Along with It's A Wonderful Life and Scrooged. :)

Shawshank Redemption... When you see Red walking down the beach towards Andy... that's a happy ending.
