We’ve all had 'em: Those days when everything that could go wrong, does. Maybe you missed your train when you were already running late. Or maybe your morning coffee ended up coloring your blouse on the way to work. You could sit and mope about your bad luck—or turn to a little good old-fashioned cinema escapism. But not just any flick will do. You need the best feel-good movies Spielberg and company have to offer—the ones that, when you feel like the dog meme surrounded by fire, will make it all melt away.
We've rounded up the best feel-good movies that have made us laugh and/or cry (happy tears, mind you!), from swoon-worthy rom-coms to heartwarming coming-of-age movies and sweet animated movies. And since what “feels good” is different for everyone (one woman's tearjerker is another woman's comedy), we’ve ordered this list by genre for easy navigation.
