Feel Good!

Cold. Grey. Dry. Those three words remind you of anything? Winter. 

The winter blahs are a real thing, the days are short, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. Your back hurts from shovelling and the +25 Sunny days seem like forever away. Maybe you just need to watch a feel good movie. 

Recently a British survey asked, "What are the BEST movies to get rid of the winter blahs...."

Top 5: 

 

 

 

	5. Forrest Gump... Picks you up when you get to watch a guy save his Lieutenant, run across the U.S.A. and land the girl of his dreams in 142 Minutes.
	4. Amelie... Seeing this one place so high makes me wish I'd seen it. Girl falls in love, yada yada, it's one to watch with your wife.
	3. Pretty Woman... Julia Roberts as a call girl, what doesn't make you warm and fuzzy?
	2. Dirty Dancing... Makes me laugh everytime I think about how hard Patrick Swayze must have tried to keep a straight face with the, "nobody puts Baby in a corner" line.
	1. The Shawshank Redemption... A couple of old jailmates run away to Mexico, let the happy feelings wash you over.

 

 

My Top 5: 

 

5.  Field of Dreams... He built it, they came. Always nice when people show up to a grand opening of a baseball park. 

 

4. Jerry Maguire... Cocky guy gets brought back down to size and he shows Cuba Gooding Jr. the money. Plus, a side of love story on the platter. 

 

3. City Slickers... A guy gets over a mid-life crisis by saddling up and putting spurs on his boots in the sunny desert.  Hilarity ensues. Take a hike winter blahs. 

 

2. The Terminal... I just get Viktor Navorski, not his fictional language, but I've been lost in JFK Airport and it made me feel better when I got out. 

 

1. Mr. Deeds... He's got perma-frostbite on his foot and jokes about it, beats up a NYC mugger to save a damsel in distress, owns a pizza shop that makes French Fries and Oreo pizza, writes goofy poems that include the word schlub and his name is Longfellow Deeds. My faveorite movie to watch on a cold winters day.
