68 feel-good movies guaranteed to boost your mood

Feel-good movies are criminally underrated. Sure, we love a hard-hitting blockbuster as much as the next person, but some lighthearted entertainment is definitely what we need as the festive season approaches.

We have delved into the vaults of Netflix, NOW TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and the rest, and found some seriously feel-good movies, from dreaming about our own lives as royalty in The Princess Diaries to rom-com classics such as How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

There are also pom-pom dazzling cheerleading routines in Bring It On, a tour of the hilariously cutthroat world of fashion in The Devil Wears Prada and an ode to male friendship in I Love You, Man.

Also, how about The Terminal starring Tom Hanks (because doesn’t Tom Hanks make everything better?), or Will Ferrell‘s LOL-worthy hit Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, also starring Rachel McAdams. Or guaranteed laughs with Tiffany Haddish and Regina Hall in Girls Trip? We even included some musical classics like Grease, Hairspray and Mary Poppins. You’re welcome.

So, if you are looking for an easygoing flick – something to make you laugh, inspire you or generally restore your faith in humanity, here are the best 68 feel-good movies for you…

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
