Top Feel Good Movies to Watch on a Rainy Day

When the Rain is Falling and You Just Want a Movie that Moves Your Soul

Amy Gayle
Most people like to take naps or read books on rainy days. I like to curl up on the couch and watch a great feel good movie with some comfort food. I like movies that make my heart pitter pat or make me cry on these dreary days. Here are a few of my favorite movies to watch when the rain is falling.

-"Return to Me". This movie is heart warming and makes every woman beg that her man can be just as amazing as David Duchovny's character.

-"Fried Green Tomatoes". This movie brings out the "I am woman, hear me roar!" in you! This is a great movie to watch with your best friend!

-"Simon Birch". Just when you think that your life sucks, this little kid brings you a wonderful feeling of inspiration and gives you hope that life is only as bad as you make it.

-"Ever After". Who doesn't love a Cinderella story? This one will make your heart just bloom with love for your own Prince Charming.

-"Stepmom". If you've every had to be a "step" anything, you will have a new appreciation for your experience after watching this heart warming film.

-"Schindler's List". Learn a little history and experience what the Holocaust was really like for the Jewish people.

-"Forrest Gump". Who doesn't love this amazing character that Tom Hanks made famous? Never give up when people tell you that you can't do it.

-"The Wizard of Oz". There is nothing like watching this classic movie about dreams and fantasy! On a rainy day, "There's no place like home!"

-"Shawshank Redemption". While this movie, like "Schindler's List", is not always easy to watch, it is a wonderfully moving flick.

-"Finding Nemo". This movie is my favorite animated movie ever. You will find yourself laughing out loud as Nemo's father looks for his precious, lost son.

-"Ferris Bueller's Day Off". Well, "Day Off" says it all! What you'd rather be doing than working or going to school. This is a definite rainy day must see!

-The "Anne of Green Gables" movies. I could watch these heartwarming movies everyday. They bring so much warmth to your heart as you watch Anne go through the trials and tribulations of life.

These are just a few of the wonderful, amazing movies that you can watch on a rainy day. Any movie could be a rainy day movie, but I like the ones that offer inspiration or make my heart flutter. Those dreary days tend to give you a feeling of "gloom", so these movies are a great way to make yourself perk up a bit and have a little more warmth in your life.

    Schindler's List...? A feel-good movie? What? Have you even seen it? That is one of the most disturbing, upsetting movies I have ever seen in my life. Perhaps THE most upsetting. I remember nearly being traumatized by the blood and death, watching it for the first time as a kid. Are you insane?

    Schindler's list??? really???
    that is a tough movie, not much of a feel good one...I would say "It's A Wonderful Life" would be a better fit.

    The reason I put "Schindler's List" is because of the amazing good that he did for the Jews. It made me want to make a difference in people's lives, myself.

    I personally think that Schindlers list can be a feel good movie. It's about helping people who suffered badly and I believe that no one except anti semites would be able to feel happy but I do agree that you would feel remorseful to them. If you were an anti semite then you would wish that schindler was dead with all the jews. That wasn't the case. If it was top movies that make you feel happy then I would think Mrs Gayle was crazy but it's a feel good movie which schindler's list can be included.

    Schindlers list can only be a feel good movie for two reasons. A. it makes u feel good because no matter how ur life is it won't be shittier than that of the jews in the movie.

    B. your anti-Semitic.

    so which one did you have in mind Mrs Gayle?

  • Robin 3/8/2009

    schindlers list is a good move but its so hard core. And there is five seconds of fuzziness,versue the two hours or so of heartbreaking sadness.
    Its a beautiful life, probably would be a better holocaust pick.

    I really agree with Simon Birch! Very good rainy day movie!
