You wake up. She doesn’t.
SCARY ONE-LINERS

Shush, Listen! Who is breathing heavily? Is the sound coming from... Within the wall?

A 5 year old girl pointed at her mother saying, “I don’t want to talk to you; you have not been at home for 4 days”, and at some distance her father sees her talking to a mirror.

It was so rude of him to tell me not to see him anymore and let him move ahead in his life, especially on the day of our 3rd marriage anniversary and my 1 month death anniversary.

Grandpa died smoking a cigar in his favorite chair, so got a new one but from the ash marks he leaves behind he has a new favorite chair.
Alright, though, scary, some of them were dark. Pardon me for that. To compensate, next up, we have a list of feel good movies. Do go through them. Lmk if you have watched any of these.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Chef (2014)
Chef is such an easy premise. A tired, wildly talented chef walks away from the strains of working in a fancy restaurant. Along the way, he starts a food truck, takes a road trip, and reconnects with his family. It’s vibrant, beautiful, and just a little silly. As a bonus: This movie has spawned a whole cookie series starring Favreau.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Clueless (1995)
I’ll admit it: This movie made me feel a lot deeper when I was a teen. Now that we’re older, though, it’s just the right mix of absurdity, fashion, and high school drama. Alicia Silverstone’s disgusted faces make us laugh every time.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Always Be My Maybe (2019)
There is so much to love about this stellar Asian-led Netflix rom-com. Not only is the cast outstanding, but the story is sweet and realistic. (Well, minus the dating Keanu Reeves part.) If you’ve ever thought about getting together with your old high school friend, crush, or ex, Always Be My Maybe will be the ultimate, adorable escape from your reality.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018)
Can I just say, Netflix is really crushing it with their drive to make movies that feature diversity? I love, love, love To All The Boys’ look at life as a mixed family, as well as the life of three teen girls being raised by a widowed father. Will you cry at least once while watching this film? Yes. But will you be grinning ear-to-ear by that big end-of-film pan out? Absolutely. Plus, guys, there are two sequels already made and Netflix just announced a new film starring Laura Jean’s little sister, Kitty.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)
Ferris is a classic for a reason. From crashing a car to crashing a parade, this movie is full of absurd but still somehow relatable high school angst… and goofiness. If you don’t love Ferris, are you even capable of love?
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Elf (2003)
“But this is a Christmas movie!” Is it, Karen? Is it?! Sure, it stars an elf. And, OK, it starts in the North Pole and takes place in New York City in late December. Plus, yes, there’s a whole subplot involving believing in Santa to get the sleigh to fly. Elf is so much more than any of those things, though! It’s an adventure film. A story of acceptance. And, you know, it’s even a rom-com. Did I mention it’s also funny AF? Smiling is our favorite.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
The Long, Long Trailer (1954)
If you only ever get to watch one Lucille Ball movie, it should be The Long, Long Trailer. This black and white film is full of all the normal shenanigans you’d expect to see on I Love Lucy. But it’s set around a newlywed couple who buys a car and trailer and takes a road trip across the country. This movie will either ignite or stifle your desire to own a camper and do the same.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Love, Simon (2018)
Anyone else notice how so many movies about gay teens (and even gay adults) are often reductive and downright tragic? Life outside the heteronormative can be the latter — but it isn’t always, and it certainly doesn’t have to always be portrayed that way on the big screen. Love, Simon follows two closeted kids navigating their love story, and it manages to avoid being another depressing story about bullied teens. Seriously, it’s perfect. And it has a happy ending… something we all desperately want for the people in our lives.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Ratatouille (2007)
Even if you hate rats, Ratatouille might change your mind. Meet Remy, a rat who has a dream of becoming a chef. And in a weird twist of fate, he gets a shot at his dream, but things get complicated when his secret gets out. Ratatouille may be about food, but it’s also a reminder to kids (and adults) to follow your dreams, no matter who they are or where they come from.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Sister Act (1992)
Whoopi Goldberg plays a Las Vegas entertainer who is on the run from her murderous gangster boyfriend. To save her life, she joins the witness protection program and goes undercover as a nun at a catholic school. Using her musical talents, she takes the high school’s choir to new heights and, along the way, changes the tune of her stubborn students.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Coming to America (1988)
An African prince determined to marry for love travels to Queens, New York, to find his bride. Although cultures and classes may clash, Prince Akeem keeps a hilariously upbeat attitude during his search. Eddie Murphy finds himself in outrageous situations and even plays more than one character as he keeps his princely status a secret. Along the way, he meets his bride-to-be, who loves him for him, but his secret may be the very thing that ruins everything.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Let’s start out with an obvious choice. If you love all things Wonka, you can’t go wrong with the film that started it all. Based on Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Gene Wilder shines as the eccentric candymaker who opens his doors to five lucky golden ticket winners and gives them an unforgettable tour of his famous chocolate factory. Whether you’re a first-time viewer or have watched this classic a hundred times, it’d definitely be worth seeing once Wonka fills you in on more of his backstory.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Working Girl (1988)
Before quiet quitting and rage applying, there was simple workplace revenge. In the Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford workplace comedy Working Girl, Griffith plays Tess McGill, a secretary from Staten Island whose not-so-great female boss (Sigourney Weaver) steals her brilliant idea and passes it off as her own. To win big at work (and snag a handsome boyfriend), Tess will have to seize the opportunity to steal it back.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Pretty Woman (1990)
A rich man picking up a prostitute on Hollywood Boulevard might not seem like the plot of one of the best feel-good, happy movies of the ’90s, but this Garry Marshall classic starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts is just that. In Pretty Woman, Gere plays an uptight businessman who falls under the spell of the beautiful and smart escort Vivian Ward (Roberts) after inviting her to spend the week with him. Vivian teaches him about life, love, self-worth and defining his non-negotiables (a secret to happiness). Despite all odds, the two fall in love (and yep, live happily ever after).
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
La La Land (2016)
This Oscar-winning romantic musical comedy starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone took its inspiration from old-school Hollywood films like Singin’ in the Rain. La La Land follows two young people chasing their Hollywood dreams (Stone’s character wants to be an actress, while Gosling’s hopes to be a respected jazz musician). They desperately work to keep a positive attitude, navigating the highs and lows of searching for stardom and balancing careers and relationships.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
This laugh-out-loud rom-com was the ’90s movie that first put Hugh Grant on the map as Hollywood’s go-to charming leading man. In this fan-favorite feel-good movie, Grant stars as Charles, a hopeless bachelor who unwillingly breaks hearts, until he meets the beautiful Carrie (Andie McDowell) at a wedding—and she breaks his heart. We follow Charles and his best friends as they go through the rest of the summer wedding circuit in search of love. Four Weddings and a Funeral was a smashing box-office success that proved happy movies can rake in the money ($254 million in the ’90s, to be exact).
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)
Another fan-favorite book-to-movie adaptation, Bridget Jones’s Diary was based on the Helen Fielding comedic novel of the same name (which was heavily influenced by Pride and Prejudice). In one of the go-to early-2000 happy movies, hot mess Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) drinks too much, eats too much, smokes too much and swears too much—and she’s always falling for the wrong guy. She needs to make some changes to not only be happier at home but also to take control of her life. She begins to keep a diary and look for love. Filled with lighthearted fun, this classic British comedy (which also stars Hugh Grant—do we sense a theme?) is an ode to imperfection.
FEEL-GOOD MOVIES
Legally Blonde (2001)
Legally Blonde is like a big heaping bowl of mac and cheese: always comforting and easy to dig into. The story follows rich sorority girl Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), who decides to apply to Harvard Law School to chase the boy she loves. Not only does she get into the selective, competitive school, she also proves she’s every bit as smart as the rest of the student body, even if she looks like a Barbie doll. This classic chick flick always delivers the endorphins (and as Elle says in this memorable movie quote, “exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands”).
