Uplifting Movie?
I always find the Shawshank Redemption really uplifting but many people seem to disagree with me. That and Star Wars.
" Robin Hood: Men in Tights, The Princess Bride, and Spaceballs never fail in these situations. "dont forget to add in blazing saddles,nothing says uplifting like the fourth wall exploding in your face.
" Robin Hood: Men in Tights, The Princess Bride, and Spaceballs never fail in these situations. "Anyone who loves Robin Hood: Men in Tights is fucking great in my book!
I've always found Brazil by Terry Gilliam to be particulary uplifting (the uncut, proper version mind you, never understood why they switched the ending for the American audience) Others that have cheered me upon occasion being: Pulp Fiction, Ghostbusters 1+2, Fifth Element, Fight Club, Braveheart, The Dark Knight, Serenity and Se7en.
Batman the Animated Series has always guaranteed chuckles and feel-good moods in me more than anything though.
It's screwy thinking yes but I tend to enjoy those sort of films more than the standardised "Disney" Happily Ever after bollocks.
If you have seen it already and don't understand why its uplifting.. then I recommend Stepbrothers with Will Ferrel.. it's more suiting to your attitude, and also a very uplifting movie.
