    @richardcanedo1614 Год назад +3

    Decent list, but two criticisms: first, except for Singin' in the Rain, they apparently didn't make any "feel good" movies before the late 1990s -- which is SO wrong. (Watch The Band Wagon with Fred Astaire, esp. the magical "Dancing in the Dark" sequence with Cyd Charisse.) Second, La La Land is a musical with two talented, charismatic actors in the leads, neither of whom could sing or dance very well. ("Able to carry a tune" and "Able to follow choreographed steps" is much too low a bar.) It does not belong on a list with Singin' in the Rain, much less _higher_ on the list. (Just an opinion, but an informed one.)

    The original Parent Trap is much better than the Lohan version, but they're both fun. Bridget Jones's Diary is an update of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, so, yes, of course it's very British. And, speaking of Jane Austen, Clueless is an adaptation of her Emma.

    GREAT list, but I think you missed "Pitch Perfect." It is a wonderful feel good, female empowered movie.

    Home Alone could be here as well.

    I hated "Love, Actually" when it first came out and I still hate it. But, I agree with many of your other selections and, yes, "Legally Blonde" is a great feel-good movie. 🙂

      Legelly Blonde is a great movie, it really charmmingly funny.

    Don't get me wrong, I like Lindsey Lohan in the Parent Trap but I prefer the original with Hayley Mills.

    I never cared for "Bring it on" or "Love Actually"! 🤮But the other ones are great! 💖
