12. Second that.

DDL's performance was magnificent.

[DFW]

9. August Rush

If you like music and improbable happy endings, this is THE film to see, hands down.

There is appearance by an actor you do NOT expect in a film like this, but I won't spoil it.

[Cicada]

11. Ratatouille

[KT2000]

13. Hidden Figures and

Dumplin' - more people need to see that one.

[solara]

14. I'm bending the rules a bit, this is an older movie

from 1980 actually "Resurrection" starring Ellen Burstyn and Sam Shepherd.. very uplifting..

The Princess Bride
Love, Actually
Matilda
Up
Overboard ( The Original)
Amelie
Coco
Last Holiday
Practical Magic

So many up-lifting movies, and some are even complex and interesting.

Have fun!



Merry Christmas, Blessed Yule, Happy Hannukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, Happy Holidays

21. Resurrection is an awesome, one of a kind movie-

and Ellyn Burstyn was fantastic in it.

[milestogo]

16. Room

with Brie Larson.

[JimGinPA]

17. 50-50

Great cast, great storyline, a lot of funny stuff, some sad moments, some surprises, but definitely uplifting.

[Aristus]

18. "The Post', with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks.

About the decision by the publishers of the Washington Post to print The Pentagon Papers, which torpedoed Nixon's plans to prolong the Vietnam War, and led, indirectly, to Watergate.

When Meryl Streep's character tremblingly asserts that "We'll print!" the story, the entire movie theater cheered!

We were less than a year into Trump, and we needed heroes and hope...

[sinkingfeeling]

19. A recent one: "Blinded by the Light".

[Stuart G]

20. A wonderful uplifting movie, "The Iron Giant" 1999-- You will enjoy it..guaranteed.

Totally uplifting. Animated, one of my favorite films ever..OK for children, they will love it.
Also this film is totally underrated. So people don't know about it. Came out at the wrong time,
had poor advertising, good reviews, but in a special way, it is kind of a Christmas movie. You would have to watch it all to catch the drift....When it came out, I didn't believe the terrible job that was done to advertise
and publicize it.
..................After one viewing, I went back to the theater and saw it 5 more times in the movie theater.
.................YES...it is that good of a movie..You watch it and report back..
