Not a kids film just a heart warming one

The Wedding Singer. Even if you don't like Adam Sandler's usual schtick, he plays this completely straight and is really endearing. Great 80s soundtrack and Sandler and Barrymore are adorable and funny.

It's an absolute gem. My favourite comedy movie and also very warm-hearted. It's an Aussie institution.

I'd also highly recommend a British TV movie from the 70s called Nuts in May about a middle-class couple going camping. It's also light-hearted and hilarious, and very English, much as The Castle is very Australian.

Might I recommend the tv show 'A Man on the Inside'?

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 months ago

My go to movies when looking for that kind of thing, are Kiki's Delivery Service, and Mr. Right.

I go to Howls moving Castle. But Kiki's is good. More of a feel good one haha.

The Norwegian movie: The Worst Person In the World

Great movie about life, love and finding who you are.

Amelie for sure. The scene with the blind man made me cry just from how heart warming it was.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 months ago

That's a lovely film! Not seen it in years

[–] theblips@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a Wonderful Life is my go-to

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 months ago

That's a lovely film!

Recently watched the first Austin Powers for the first time in years. Really dumb humor, but pretty hilarious.
