As for your question, I've never had to deal with crippling despair and depression and I doubt any movie can beat a well-prescribed drug, but for the general blues I'm always uplifted tremendously by _Enchanted April_ (1992): Josie Lawrence, Miranda Richardson, Joan Plowright, and Polly Walker escape rainy London with its attendant unsatisfactory husbands and lives and rent a villa in Italy. The film glows with contentment, happiness, and acceptance. -- Frank in Seattle ___________ Frank Richard Aloysius Jude Maloney "I leave you now in radiant contentment" -- "Whistling in the Dark" >> Stay informed about: Uplifting movie ?

Several Marx Bros. films have helped pull me out of tough times. I'd also recommend Cary Grant's, The Bishop's Wife. >> Stay informed about: Uplifting movie ?

A brand new holiday film called "Noel" would be my first choice. It's not what you would expect from a holiday film, but it is filled with surprises from beginning to end. Susan Sarrandun (sp?)is the lead character, but Robin Williams and Phenilopie (sp?) Cruise are both in it too. Also Alan Arkin. I've read that it was made in 2004 to be used to test market a disposible DVD that self-destructs 48 hours after opening. Now there's something to be proud of. 8^). We saw it on TNT cable, but I doubt if they will show it again. Thanks to my DVD recorder, I've got about three commercial free copies floating around for friends to watch. It really was a fun film to watch. >> Stay informed about: Uplifting movie ?

Funny, this is one of those films that I love on a big screen in a nice print, but put it on video and it loses almost all of its appeal for me. Funny about that. swac Guess I won't be seeing it for a while... >> Stay informed about: Uplifting movie ?
