I'm in need of a good movie. GOOD.

That means enjoyable, heartwarming and/or uplifting. It can be a love story, a personal triumph or journey, a saga, whatever.

Nothing bittersweet, nothing evil/brutal/horrific. Nothing depressing.

I don't care if there is sex, violence or bad language in it, though by violence I mean someone can shoot someone but I don't want to see any torture or anyone going through hurt.

Has to be something I can find on DVD and preferably should be something released in the last 5 years.

So what do you all recommend?

And thanks!

what comes to mind is the one about the racehorse and the one about the female boxer. sorry about the name thing. retrieval problems. also, do you ever watch hulu? free movies and old tv series.

oh, sea biscuit and million dollar baby. david just told me.

Mama Mia
Fiddler on the Roof
Sound of Music

Hulu, great suggestion! I've used it before, not recently. I'll go see what they have.

The Sound of Music and Fiddler on the Roof are both wonderful classics. I haven't seen Mama Mia yet, I don't think, so I'll check that out. Thanks!

Million Dollar Baby... that's another one that I started watching and stopped. I got this idea that she ends up paralyzed or something. Tell me it's not so, and I'll get it again.

Seabiscuit... not an teribly interesting subject to me, but I have heard the name of the movie. A good movie is a good movie! I'll get it.

These are just a few suggestions:

Hitch
The Librarian:Quest for the Spear
Meet The Fockers or Meet The Parents
Mr. Deeds

I you haven't seen Bridget Jones' Diary, both 1 and 2, I recommend them both. Language is questionable, but if a few F words aren't offensive to you, you just might like it. I enjoyed both of them immensely, but 2 better than 1. Very much chick flicks.

Bucket List
Star Trek
Seabiscuit
Antwone Fisher

Stay away from Million Dollar Baby, I cried my eyes out.

i didn't think i would like sea biscuit, and for me it started out sloooow. but it isnt really about the horse, imo. what the hell! it's uplifting and it's only a movie roll:

Walk the line
5 people you meet in heaven
Lonesome dove
Ray
Missing
Lord of the rings series
Open range
Monte walsh
Cheech & chong movies
Bill & ted movies
Dazed and confused

The Express was good.
